Book shortage hampers learner drivers


PETALING JAYA: Thousands of learner drivers and motorcyclists are facing a major bump on the road before they can even start because of an acute shortage of the highway code books for ‘L’ licences under the new driving curriculum implemented on Aug 1.

Driving schools have an average of between 1,000 and 1,200 applicants for ‘L’ licences each month and the scarcity of books has delayed scheduled tests in about 200 driving schools across the country.
