Kuwait Introduces Advanced Driving Test Automobiles in All Governorates
Colonel Fahd Al-Essa, Director of the Traffic Awareness Department at the General Traffic Department, announced the launch of Kuwait’s new driving test vehicle system across all six governorates. This move aims to modernize the Education Sector’s infrastructure and enhance the driver licensing experience. The contract was awarded to Super Service Company.
The new vehicles are equipped with advanced technologies, including:
- Multi-angle surveillance cameras
- Wireless microphone communication
- Real-time monitoring capabilities
These improvements ensure safer, more accurate testing and reduce the burden on examiners.
Testers now have access to fully equipped waiting rooms with modern amenities, eliminating the need to wait in harsh weather conditions as was the case previously.
Driving schools can only provide training at their own premises and are no longer allowed to operate near testing centers. This helps streamline the process and reduce congestion.
Only vehicles with special permits for people with disabilities are allowed in the testing areas. All other private access is restricted. Official test fees have been defined for all vehicle categories in coordination with the General Traffic Department.
This initiative reflects Kuwait’s commitment to improving road safety, testing transparency, and examiner welfare while delivering a modern and comfortable experience for all test applicants.
