PAKISTAN DRIVING TEST
Legal Age: 18
RED Rating: 2/5
The Pakistani driving test is fairly simple. Once you are 18, you can apply for a Learner’s Licence. You can drive the car with an adult on Learner’s Licence with an ‘L’ displaying at the back of the vehicle. There are no rules on the number of hours on the Learner’s Licence. You just have to wait 45 days after getting the Learner’s Licence to be eligible for the permanent licence exam. The exam consists of a theory and a very short practical test. You can take both on the same day. The test is very easy and the passing rate is 80 percent, which becomes 100 percent when you include the corruption. The traffic laws are very lenient in Pakistan and many people drive without a valid licence in Pakistan.
I don’t really know about other cities but in Karachi, people usually bribe or hire an agent for themselves which completes the process himself while you sit on a chair or couch and yawn and you only bother yourself for a picture for the card.
