A new rule that will be put into effect on September 15 2023, will eliminate the need for learners to take separate examinations to get a motorcycle and driving licence.

According to Anthony Loke, the minister of transport, this choice was taken in response to public comments and demands. This process was once used, however, it was later modified to the one that is now in use. But it has now been decided to go back to the previous course of action.

However, applicants will need to go through separate circuit and on-the-road exams for motorbike and car licences. As a result, people who already hold a motorbike licence will no longer need to take a theoretical test, but they will still need to pass a circuit and road test in order to get their driver’s licence.

According to Loke, the curriculum for driving lessons will be integrated, and candidates will study motorbike and car handling theories at the same time. The public will gain from this new rule since they won’t have to take another set of six-hour sessions in order to obtain their licences.
