New ruling means cost savings for the people, say groups

PETALING JAYA: The new ruling requiring motorists to only sit for one theory test to obtain a driving and riding licence, will save time and money as well as benefit youths and people in the lower income bracket, say groups.

The policy taking effect on Sept 15, whereby a person need not sit for a theory test to get a driving licence if they sat for the test earlier to obtain a riding licence and vice versa, will mean cost savings for the people, especially the B40, said Malaysian Road and Transportation Safety Association (MRTSA) president Nik Mohd Salim Nik Mohd Salleh.
