Mandatory "night" classes introduced in Dubai driving schools

The Dubai Roads and Transport Committee (RTA) has decided to introduce compulsory classes in the driver training program to allow students to learn driving skills in the dark. The largest driving schools in Dubai have already introduced new classes to the training schedule for drivers: they will be held in agreement with students from 19.00 to 23.00. In this period of time in the UAE it is already dark, as in the dead of night.

Students enrolled in a program designed for 40 classes, will be able to study late in the evening only after the successful completion of 32 classes of driving in the afternoon. Students in the program, which provides 20 classes, will be able to leave at night after 16 lessons.

According to Mohammed Al-Sim, director of the Department of Licensing at RTA, a pilot project to introduce “night” classes, launched in January at a Dubai driving school, was extremely successful.
