The Road Transport Department (RTD) expects about 15,000 senior citizens to get their driving licence under the One Community, One JPJ (SKSJ) programme this year.
Its director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said the programme was to facilitate the community in dealing with RTD, especially communities in remote areas such as Orang Asli and senior citizens by bringing its services to the people.
“We want road users especially motorcycle riders to get a valid licence so that they could get insurance coverage if they are involved in an accident,” he told reporters after closing a SKSJ programme, here, today.
Ismail said under the Kuala Nerus SKSJ programme, 447 participants, comprising of 210 men and 237 women obtained B2 class driving licence, with participants paying only RM170 to obtain the licence compared to a minimum of RM400 charged by driving schools.
