KUWAIT CITY, Nov 7: The General Traffic Department said it will start implementing the new theoretical driving test system from Sunday (Nov 8, 2020) as per the type of the driving test for the respective category private or general and the type of vehicle. This step comes within the strategy of the public administration (traffic sector) to develop the system, facilitate procedures and raise the level of traffic awareness.
Meanwhile the General Traffic Department amended the traffic law related to window tint from 30 percent to 70 percent.
The new decision, which comes into effect as of 8th Nov 2020 after its publication in the Official Gazette, stipulates that installing vehicle window tint should be only 40 percent for cars from agencies, it should not exceed 70 percent.
The new decision ended the suffering of vehicles coming from American countries as during the time of renewal of car registration they were rejected by Technical Inspectors from the traffic department as devices were used to measure the percentage of sun shade filming and violations were issued to the driver.
With the start of the implementation of the new decision, the owners and workers of vehicle accessories shops in the Shuwaikh area, specifically in Al-Zina Street, seemed to be happier than the car owners themselves because of the great business benefits of the decision, reports Al Rai. The auto sun shading market has boomed as it will benefit many from the new decision.
The worker, Bashir, said that the new decision is good and will benefit the owners of shops and cars and will end the suffering of traffic violations for car owners and also protect from the sun and maintain cooling in the car.
In turn, the worker Nazeer said that the thermal shading is important to protect the car, and the new decision will be beneficial to everyone, including the customer who was previously afraid of traffic violations, but now the General Traffic Department allowed car shading to be 70 percent as it was prohibited in the past, and this It will double our business. He added that the decision will have great benefits after the recession shops suffered during the Corona virus crisis.
