Ras Al Khaimah: The police here have announced the deployment of smart vehicles to assess the driving skills and performance of new drivers. Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Al Zaabi, Deputy Director of Licensing and Supervision, explained that this new initiative aims to make the driving test process more efficient.

The smart vehicle is equipped with cutting-edge sensors, eight cameras, and a tablet. This will reduce human intervention and improve the accuracy of the test. This technology will ensure that all driving license applicants in the emirate have received proper training from licensed driving schools. The driving school instructors at these schools will instruct learners on the test procedures.

Smart testing will be conducted during the parking and reverse phases. This will ensure impartial and precise results. The system will also evaluate applicants' driving habits, offering a more thorough assessment of their abilities. This move marks a significant step towards modernising driving schools within the emirate.

The introduction of smart vehicles is expected to increase customer satisfaction and reduce waiting times for services. It will also improve the quality of driving licence services. The authorities aim to produce better drivers by leveraging advanced technology.
