JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police stated that the rules requiring applicants for a driving license (SIM) to include driving certification have not been implemented. In addition, this rule will only apply to four-wheeled vehicles and above. "We use four wheels. Meanwhile, it's only four-wheeled and above," said the Director of the Police Traffic Corps Reident, Brigadier General Yusri Yunus, to reporters, Kamsi, June 22. The reason is because driving schools only accommodate people who want to learn to drive a car. Thus, the plan to implement this rule does not apply to motorbikes. "In the future, we prioritize four-wheelers and above first for all of this while walking," he said. For now, even that rule has not been implemented. This is because there are still many things that must be prepared, such as the implementer at the lower level. "The rules already exist, because the rules below must be made again, what are the implementation rules. If you ask when everything will be implemented? Not yet, we'll just have to wait for the time," said Yusri. Another preparation is cooperation between institutions. This is a must because there is a role for companies and instructors in the issuance of the driving certification.

"We have to because this is jointly related to other stakeholders and there is also a driving school legal entity or training place, instructors must also be accredited to have a diploma, it doesn't mean I can drive to make a driving school continue to be an instructor, I can't," said Yusri.
