The Transportation Ministry has announced that driving tests will be held on Fridays beginning in the near future. Ministry officials said they intended to hire new driving instructors months ago, but were unable to do so due to a lack of funding. The system lacks 15 driving instructors, they said.
The lack of instructors has led to waits of up to three months for driving exams. Ministry officials said that the new hours would allow an additional 4,000 exams to take place each month. However, they said, the wait for exams will probably remain several weeks long if the Finance Ministry does not approve additional funding.
