Nothing has changed. In fact they announce to all the students before the test, "Na mtu asifunge mshipi. Hiyo wakati hakuna hapa!" When I was taking my test, sitting in the back of a truck awaiting my turn, I witnessed two young girls who were grinding the gears like crazy - and that was just fine by the cop. They passed their test. Here in this country, how good a driver you become is your personal responsibility. Government does nothing to protect you from yourself.

I honestly think that we should do away with the police test and leave it to driving schools to ascertain a learner's competence. Then have the name of the school written on the license.

Whenever an accident occurs, the schools of the drivers involved are recorded. Then every month, the traffic police will publish a summary of accidents and driving schools concerned. That way, the public will know the quarks.
