For those unfamiliar with the eTesting system, it allows driving school students to undergo tests independently in their own vehicles, with Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers monitoring their performance remotely.

This innovative approach aims to combat corruption while increasing efficiency in the testing process.

His test, conducted with the Transport Minister Anthony Loke and senior JPJ officers present, marked the symbolic inauguration of this new testing method.

With the capacity to test more candidates per day compared to traditional methods, the system streamlines the testing process while reducing the workload on driving institute assessors.

Furthermore, the eTesting system offers benefits to test candidates, including the opportunity for a second attempt on the same day at no extra cost and priority reservation for test slots. Additionally, candidates receive a rebate for provisional license issuance.

The pilot project foreTesting has commenced at select driving institutes and is set to expand nationwide over the next six years. All in all, minister Loke is optimistic about the system’s potential to revolutionise driving license issuance, improve integrity, and enhance monitoring capabilities.
