DUBAI - The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has announced the endorsement of seven additional languages in the theory knowledge driving test (the knowledge test needed to obtain vehicle driving license).
The
service, which enables examinees to select the option of running the text in
their mother tongues, is part of RTA's continuous endeavors to achieve its
third strategic goal of making people happier.
"The
seven languages added are Hindi, Persian, Russian, Chinese, Bengali, Tamil, and
Malayalam. The test material is run in a voice-over translation accompanying
the text written in the language of the examinee. This brings the total number
of languages available in the Knowledge Test to 11 languages. Thus the
applicant can now avail the chance of selecting the preferred test language;
which translates into a better and clearer understanding of driving &
traffic rules in a way securing the safety of road users as well as the
examinee, after clearing the tests and obtaining the driver license,"
Ahmed Hashim Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA Licensing Agency, said.
With
the introduction of this step, he noted, all permits issued in respect of employees
who were previously entitled to translate the test material have been
terminated; which is an important procedure towards ensuring the transparency
and neutrality of the test in respect of all examinees.
Meanwhile,
the written Arabic language test has been amplified with the voice-over service
to enhance the audio understanding of traffic rules and offer equitable chances
to all applicants, he added
