Social media users have called for strict action against the violators after a video showing an expatriate offering driving instructions to another went viral on all social media platforms yesterday.

As per Bahrain’s law, driving instructions can only be offered by legal instructors in special vehicles allocated for the purpose.

“This is a clear violation of laws and we urge strict action,” a social media user said. The Traffic Directorate is in charge of issuing driving classes in the Kingdom.

To obtain a driving license, the applicant must undergo and pass the eye exam. Subsequently, the applicant can opt for a legal instructor, who will deliver lessons in driving.

The driving license can only be obtained after passing the practical driving test conducted by the directorate.
