Driving Licence Questions

I enrolled in a driving school (Petanns) nimeenda lessons for 3 weeks basically wanarudia tu the same thing and I’m here risking Corona. Anyway I wanted to ask if PDL inaweza kusaidia kwa barabara or you need a valid DL strictly. Give me advice. Halafu kuna driving test zinafanywa na hii corona kweli?

Last question: Is it possible for someone to enroll for NTSA driving test bila going to a driving school? Like if you’ve mastered the Model Town Board, Road Signs and experience in driving can you just apply for the test bila kupitia driving school?

All information will be appreciated.

No, no and no.

sawa

Wacha short cut, nyinyi ndio mnatusubua kwa barabara…

shortcut hapo iko wapi

In the past you could book for the test a a few days after getting the PDL. However, new NTSA regulations requires at least you take 3wks or a month of training before applying for test.
Wait another week and ask if you can be booked for the test.

Bad thing in Kenya is that even those who fail the test still get the DL—corruption mingi sana. Actually police will fail about 40% of candidates to get the bribes.

Make sure you attend all the driving school lessons and even go for further tutorials from accredited authorities. Tena ununue Ile kitabu ya traffic signs

Lazama 21 days ziishe after kuregister ndo ufanye exam. So long as 21 days zimeisha unaeza fanya driving test. Ambia instructor wako unataka kufanya exam ile next, ata kama iko kesho, hakunaga shida.

there is nothing much in those lessons and tutorials…3 days and any smart student will have mastered everything…then still fail because you refused to bribe

Instructors collect 1k from each candidate before the driving test. I believe they use it to bribe.

Seems these days NTSA wanapeana real DLs. During my time ulikua ukibook exam through driving school hio fee imeincorporate hongo. Passing the “exam” was a guarantee. Yenyewe Kenya hatujafika, but tumetoka mbali. The things we used to get away with, nikaambia the young ones wa siku hizi hawawezi amini.

I also know of many people who never attended driving school nor did any exam but have a DL

My mum hajawai kalia kiti ya right mbele, her DL was renewed last 1992
Me nilipata DL na ID immediately after high school, ndio nikaanza kunifunza mambo ya gari,

My old man was something else, yaani chief anakuja mtaa kusign mambo ya ID
