Photo Lehtikuva The Finnish Transport Safety Agency (Trafi) is planning to reduce the places for driving test with the view to introduce a uniform driving testing system in the country.
The association of the driving schools in the country, however, criticised the plan as the association leaders think it would reduce the number of driving learning schools, sources at the ministry of communications said.
Trafi officials, however, said that the reforms plan has been taken to equalize everyone to get driving license under one testing system and it would increase the safety on the road.
“The safety on the road traffic will increase if all the drivers get licence in the same testing process,” said a Trafi lawyer, Tuire Simonen.
The Driving Schools Association president, Jarmo Jokilampi, however, does not believe that the reform would put any positive impact on ensuring road safety.
He believed that the reform will reduce the number of driving learning schools at the places where the testing schools would be closed.
The association leaders also said that shifting the testing centre to other places would be a discrimination to those who need to go far to take driving test. More News
