The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is set to introduce a star rating system for all 205 driving schools nationwide in November, Bernama reports.
“Driving schools which offer the best services will get five stars, followed by four stars and so on,” JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said, adding that five-starred driving schools will be given incentives like the ability to process driving licences.
All driving schools nationwide have upgraded their driving circuits to conform with guidelines set in the new driving curriculum introduced in September 2014, he said.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Rather pointless when Driving Schools still teach outdated and non-comprehensive programs.
As if we don’t know that “star ratings” can be “bought”.
I used to teach advanced driving/track/safety and can see just how big the knowledge/skill gap of being able to pass a driving test to properly operate a vehicle, especially in adverse conditions. And my “students” are graduates of a far more substantial drivers training program overseas.
Here, drivers are clueless even on 4 way junction stops or when there are broken traffic lights.
JPJ do actually needs star rating for their employees, specifically the car testers. More students fail the more stars for the tester, less students fail, less stars for the testers, Why?
Because less students passed, means very little Kopi-O Money.
another way for earn side income…. “menabung” until can buy diamond ring
why not let rakyat rate on road(stretch of road) on road condition, road hazard, blind spot and others… see whats local town council or JKR will do to improve road safety…
What is the point of Star System anyway?
Aren’t all driving schools supposed to give the same service?
See those cyberjaya buses?
one star safety rating, still on the road…
what is the function by doing so? still Malaysian wanted the lowest fee to get their license. 4 star not promise you to have license even fail on bukit. shame jpj!
