Over 1856 illiterate citizens from Gatsibo and Nyagatare districts participated in an oral- provisional driving test on Tuesday at the first ever special motor cycle driving test in Eastern Province.
All the participants passed the oral test and later undertook practical riding tests.
Traffic Police Commander, Chief Superintendent (CSP) Celestin Twahirwa said, “the new system of conducting driving tests was part of Traffic Police efforts to ensure road safety is maintained in all parts of the country.”
The test was organized to facilitate people in Eastern province who initially operate motor cycles in their daily activities but, do not have driving licenses simply because they cannot read and write in order to undergo the normal driving exam.
CSP Twahirwa noted that acquiring driving license by the illiterate will help them get registered by life insurance companies.
