JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police has opened the possibility of re-imposing the SIM number 8 test pattern for two-wheeled vehicles. This possibility is based on the results of the evaluation of the S pattern which is now being implemented. "It must all be evaluated, say if later it is still lacking, it could be that the number 8 appears again, we are taking several samples from several countries, some use 8, some are letters S," said Head of Traffic Police Inspector General Firman Santyabudi at Monas, Central Jakarta, Friday, September 1. However, for the time being, the S pattern will still be applied in the SIM C exam. This is because the test with this pattern is considered easier for the community. However, Firman said that actually the 8th pattern did not want to be eliminated in the SIM C exam. The reason is that the track can train driver sensory. Moreover, based on expert studies, maneuvering the SIM C exam can train motorists. In particular, reducing the number of traffic accidents. "So don't look at 'Who from office to house passes through number 8 like this?'. Don't look at it, but when people are able to maneuver numbers 8, when they are on the road, that's why there are brakes suddenly and then spontaneous reactions, that's also expected," said Firman.

Korlantas Polri has officially replaced the number 8 and zigzag pattern with the letter S in the practice test for making a driving license (SIM) for motorcycles. This path with the S-letter pattern was chosen as a new method on the practical test based on the results of the expert's studies while still prioritizing the expertise and safety of motorists.
