Electronic driving test system to proceed with five driving institutes under pilot phase, says JPJ
By THE STAR | 07 November 2023PETALING JAYA: The electronic driving test system is in the pilot phase involving five driving institutes, says the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
The JPJ said its implementation is going according to plan.
“Full implementation of the system is subject to the policy and direction from the Transport Ministry,” the JPJ told The Star today.
There are, however, no plans to make the system mandatory for all driving institutes, it added.
Malaysian Driving Institute Association president Mat Aris Bakar said the system will see the performance assessment of driving test candidates on the test circuit conducted electronically.
“This includes the slope test, three-point turn, reverse parking, parallel parking, the Z-course, S-course and so on.
“The process will be assisted electronically via cameras and sensors.
“It is expected to be implemented in phases by year-end involving several driving institutes,” he said when contacted today.
Mat Aris said the electronic driving test system would eliminate claims of unethical practices.
“It is a fair system and can help in producing candidates who are truly competent and not those who passed the test because they were assisted or because of corruption,” he said.
Mat Aris added that the system will also speed up the testing process, where results can be obtained faster.
“It is a high-capacity system and is expected to increase the image of driving institutes and the JPJ,” he said.
