Driver Training=Driver License not DiplomaMayo Gayares | 2/5/2012 2:08:24 PM To obtain a drivers license, one needs driver education/training and not a diploma or degree. For example, I have a diploma in economics and masters in jurisprudence, that does not make me eligible to captain a ship or pilot an airplane. Make sense?
Appreciated Step taken..Superman | 2/5/2012 9:44:14 AM I fully support this decision and hope it gets implemented as well. Those who have studied here in Kuwait must be eligible to get the driving licenses. We have given a part of our lives to this country, and it has given us shelter and all that we needed. I personally await this decision to be implemented, as i have done my schooling here in Kuwait, and acquired my Masters degree from my country. @ Mr. Bill Bowers, with due respect getting an driving license in Kuwait is already hell of a job. You may not be aware of this, as per your name you seem to be an US resident. It may be no problem for you to get the driving license here in Kuwait. But you must ask the people who belong to sub continent, and travel a lot of distance from home to work and work to home ON A TAXI. Wudnt this decision make their lives easier?? We all staying here in Kuwait know much better who is RECKLESS and who is calm driver :) lets not go into the details ;) we all know who to blame about this recklessness..
Easier To Get Driving LicensesBill Bowers | 2/3/2012 10:34:51 AM Kuwait needs to reevaluate those who have drivers license because those who have a drivers licenses are endangering those who have license not only in Kuwait but other countries that have strict regulations to get those driver's license. By a person attending School here in Kuwait or hold a diploma does not mean they know how to drive responsible. So that condition means nothing lets ge real if they bring the strict regulations to get a drivers license from the U.S. or the European countries almost over half of Kuwait would not have drivers license. Because if you take a camera watch the roads you will see the young drivers do not care about others and endanger peoples lives because of their recklessness. So stop with this condition a person needs to or have attended Kuwait school or hold a diploma because thats a joke. As you can tell over half of the people have diploma's here but do not know how to do their job period. Diploma is a piece of paper it does not have no experience behind it. Book smart people are not experienced to do the job only people who have experience and the knowledge to do the job gets things done. diploma means nothing.
