Director-General of the Department of Land Transport Sanit Promwong has warned of scammers who claim that they can issue a driver’s license without tests, saying that only the department or government transportation offices are authorized to issue a driver’s license.
The director-general elaborated that application for any type of driver’s license must conform to the regulations of the Department of Land Transport and it has the same standards nationwide. People who apply for a driver’s license must complete all tests by themselves. After the application, there is a physical exam, a 5-hour session and a written E-exam before a driving test, said the official.
The same procedure is applicable to renewal of a driver’s license.
Those who were deceived by such scammers lost a lot of money. Some of them lost their personal document which could be used for criminal purposes, the director-general said. He urged people who have been contacted to obtain a driver’s license illegally to alert officers immediately or call 1584.
