The Directorate of Traffic (Ditlantas) of the Central Java Police ensures that it will not make it difficult for new SIM applicants to undergo practical tests, without reducing competence in driving.

"The Central Java Police will tolerate making it easier for the community, so that during the practice exam they can immediately pass," said Director of Traffic and Traffic of the Central Java Police, Kombes Agus Suryonugroho in Semarang, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 30.

According to him, expertise and knowledge in traffic will still be tested at the stage of making a SIM.

Some of the tolerances that will be given, he said, include the practice of riding a motorcycle on thezigzag and "u-turn" lanes.

He assessed that the barrier needs to be slightly widened to make it easier for SIM applicants.

"We are referring to the direction of Korlantas which is a comprehensive evaluation throughout Indonesia," he said.

He said the new SIM applicants would still undergo two exams, namely theory and practice.

Previously, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo asked Kakorlantas to repair and adjust SIM manufacturing services with what was needed in traffic and safety on the highway, so that people were not charged.

The former Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police reminded that the National Police should not make SIMs seem difficult for people who in the end use methods that violate the rules.
