People taking driving tests in Dubai now have to spot potential dangers in five short videos. Five more questions have been added to the theoretical exam for a driving license in Dubai, testing the trainees’ ability to assess risks on the road and respond to these risks.
Five videos lasting 25 seconds each depict specific environmental conditions and a set of unique associated road risks, posing the question how the driver-to-be would cope with them, explained Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of Dubai RTA’s Licensing Agency.
“Examples of these include conditions related to driving in rainy weather, highways, school zones, desert areas, densely populated or market areas with high pedestrian traffic, residential areas and night driving.”
The questions are already doing rounds, as they were added on July 1 this year.
