Falcon Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 All that’s needed now then is a brain to go with the drivers license and a way to learn to be aware of what’s going on at the front, back and sides of the motorist then we’ll be half way there to getting to international standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps an alternative (not the best alternative) to real classes would be some screen based learning where the 'trainee' learns the rules of the road (yes they do exist, contrary to what many in my extended family will tell you) and whereby they must react to various danger etc., scenarios, including possible danger circumstances seen in rear-view mirrors. If marketed right could be attractive to kids / people who can't escape screens, games etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moti24 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 7 hours ago, webfact said: Mr. Sanit Phromwon, Director-General of the Department of Land Transport has collaborated with the Vocational Education Commission to develop prototypes for the e-driving system as a tool to standardize the assessment of driving skills across the country. They're already standardised! Most of the Thai drivers I've seen can't reverse in a straight line; some even have trouble driving forward in a straight line. I think the final scenario will be a salary increase for DLT staff, as per the normal routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people in the room where I watched it haven't as they were asleep! And no one saw it to the end as they switched it off early as it was lunchtime!

seajae Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 maybe if they actually had to drive in traffic to get their licence we would see some difference but when they dont get to drive in traffic till after they get them there is a huge problem, they have no idea of what they are supposed to do when there are other cars on the road with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telly Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Already the etest is giving the locals so many headaches. After the farang leaves, it'll be at least 15 min more before a Thai leaves the exam room. now you want to add a edriving test to reduce the brown envelopes. What's going to happen is you'll have more kon Thais on the road without a license at all. Why, cause it's just too difficult, the machine mai ao my brown envelope. Brilliant, just brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The english version. You could start from there. When i notofied the examinor he just said "yes i know" and that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 At age 16 I took my road test in traffic, in a Canadian blizzard, in January. My road test for a motorcycle in Thailand was under a minute long and consisted of driving in a straight line, stopping, and dismounting. In an empty parking lot.

I hope you Thai drivers are reading this You only got the silver medal? Namibia has taken over the gold. Now get back on the roads and drive like a mob of idiots like you normally do and see if you can improve and snatch that gold medal.

a977 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 When I asked a friend of mine who lives here in Pattaya when was she going to get motorcycle licence just said too hard here, I go village give money get licence. So when this is stopped then maybe, and I use the word maybe loosely, we will see an improvement in road driving skills. 555555555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essox essox Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 this new TEST will do absolutely nothing to stop deaths on the roads or improve driving standards.. It is a complete joke. If the laws of the road are enforced more by the BIB then roads deaths might, just might be reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
