With the foot on the brake 50,000 candidate drivers
The whole process of examining candidate drivers is entering a new era, with the primary goal of strengthening road safety. The adoption of new technologies in the whole range of education of future drivers is carried out with the aim of eliminating corruption. At the same time, about 50,000 candidate drivers are awaiting the lifting of restrictive measures taken due to the pandemic. On average, about 190,000 driving licenses are issued annually. The driving schools, for their part, currently operate with only 5% of their activity, as only examinations for the award of professional diplomas are carried out. It is worth noting that in total throughout Attica the driving schools that have large vehicles (necessary to obtain a professional diploma) are only 15 of the 500 that operate.
