BAGHDAD \u2014 Iraq\u2019s General Traffic Directorate announced Sunday a new automated driving test system to be implemented across all governorates, introducing electronic signals, ground sensors and fully automated theoretical and practical evaluations conducted without human intervention.<\/p>\n
Directorate Director General Uday Samir told state newspaper Al-Sabah that the new mechanism relies on \u201cmodern technologies and advanced electronic systems\u201d to ensure applicants meet required standards. Previous testing methods had undergone \u201cmajor changes,\u201d including a complete redesign of testing layouts and the adoption of electronic signals and ground sensors within testing grounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new system will provide a wider space for conducting driving tests more accurately and professionally,\u201d Samir said, adding that it would contribute to road safety by granting licenses only to qualified drivers capable of passing all required stages. Obtaining a license will require passing electronic theoretical tests followed by practical field examinations. Fees will remain unchanged, and modern 2025 and 2026 model vehicles will be used across all license categories including motorcycles, heavy vehicles and cargo transport.<\/p>\n
Samir said implementation would begin \u201cduring the coming days or months\u201d and would be applied uniformly across all governorates \u201cwithout exception.\u201d He described the shift as \u201ca qualitative transformation toward safer standards for road users,\u201d with the fully electronic process designed to \u201cenhance transparency\u201d by removing human intervention from evaluations.<\/p>\n
The Kurdistan Region has already made this transition, with fully automated practical tests and computer-based theory exams in place for some time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAGHDAD \u2014 Iraq\u2019s General Traffic Directorate announced Sunday a new automated driving test system to be implemented across…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128870,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[5788,11173,7462,592,43379,9366,43378,94,5840,43380,596],"class_list":["post-128869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-will","tag-across","tag-all","tag-and","tag-automated","tag-driving","tag-electronic","tag-iraq","tag-new","tag-tests","tag-the"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116629816215047585","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
