Computer-Based Test: Fresh driver’s Licence Applicants Must Score 60% – FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Corps says fresh applicants for driver’s licence must score at least 60 per cent in the newly introduced Computer-Based Test to be eligible.

FRSC Sector Commander in Oyo State, Mrs Uche Chukwurah, made this known while receiving Mr Olagoke Olatoye, the Zonal Manager of the News Agency of Nigeria, South-West, on Tuesday in Ibadan.

Chukwurah said, “Fresh driver’s licence applicants are expected to score 60 per cent benchmark and, thereafter, print their driving school certificates before commencing the process of obtaining the licence.

She said that those who failed to make the benchmark would be given seven days to brush up and come back for the re-sit of the examination.

Chukwurah said that the corps decided to introduce the CBT because it discovered that most Road Traffic Crashes were caused by human factors.

“FRSC has discovered that RTC is majorly caused by human factor as it has larger per cent for the cause of crashes on the road.

“If we get our drivers properly tested, trained and certified to drive on the roads, we will be crashing the crashes to a very large extent,” she said.

The sector commander said issuance of driver’s licence would not be by proxy, adding that each applicant must present himself or herself for data capturing.
