New Rules Mean Drivers Won’t Have To Do Additional Classes to Change Their Type Of Licence
Motorists looking to change their licence from an automatic class to manual will no longer have to do additional classes, according to the RTA.
Anyone wishing to add a manual class licence onto their existing automatic transmission permit will be able to change it by simply completing a test with the RTA.
Director of Drivers’ Licensing at the RTA’s Licensing Agency, Jamal Al Sada said the test will focus on how an individual handles the manual gear system.
He said: “The RTA is making every effort to meet the needs of drivers through streamlined processes as they are closely related to the safety and security of roads and users”.
The new rule will be effective starting this October
