Learner drivers to learn with 鈥榤um and dad'

Today I read "President rubber-stamps diplomas allowing learner drivers to learn with 鈥榤um and dad'" and I wondered whether one should laugh or cry.聽 聽


Portugal has amongst the worst drivers in the EU. Soon those worst drivers will teach their children to drive. What could go wrong?

They still have to pass the test.

Who can be a driving instructor (tutor)?

The role of driving instructor is subject to strict criteria. Only those who meet the following requirements may serve in this role:

  1. Have held a Class B driver鈥檚 license for at least 10 years.
  2. Have no history of traffic offenses or serious violations.

...


The "tutor" role is one of the changes. But there are others, such as:

  1. The written exams can now be taken in foreign languages.
  2. All new drivers are subject to a 2-year trial period, with stricter limits on traffic violations and alcohol.

...




"This measure aims to address the lack of practical experience that often leads to accidents in the first few years after obtaining a driver鈥檚 license, by allowing students to practice in real-world and varied settings without the financial pressure of the hourly cost of traditional lessons."


"The tutor may not receive any payment for teaching, as this is an activity based exclusively on personal or family cooperation."


"Before being allowed to drive with a tutor, the student must complete several legal requirements. The student must have already attended and successfully completed the classroom instruction, and, as for the practical training, must have completed a minimum of twelve hours of driving and covered at least 250 kilometers with a certified instructor."


"A blue and yellow sign bearing the word 鈥淭UTOR鈥 must be displayed, visible on the front and rear of the vehicle. Driving is limited to national territory, and there are significant geographical restrictions, such as a total ban on driving on highways or similar roads. In addition, the instructor must be aware of their legal responsibility, since, for the purposes of traffic violations, they are liable for the student鈥檚 actions and must also ensure that the vehicle鈥檚 insurance explicitly covers this."
