This driving permit can be obtained only after the successful passing of the theoretical exam on road code knowledge followed by the practical exam which tests an individual's on the road driving skills. The license is issued by the General Directorate of Road Transport Services . In order to drive a vehicle in Albania you must be at least 18 years old and have a full driving licence valid in your country of residence. You will need to have the photo part of the licence and the paper part, you will also need to obtain an international drivers licence .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256506551636637521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-26041588355266898242018-11-25T18:57:59.697-07:002018-11-25T18:57:59.697-07:00No matter how many rules it is. the most important...No matter how many rules it is. the most important factor is the government. Even when they raise the age of driving permission, this rule will be wrecked so easily because this is Viet Nam :). What i'm trying to say is the youngsters who get caught would easily escape just by giving the money the cops then they can run away. THAT IS NOT OKAY, they dont have any lessons, experiences or anything. Personally, i think the education is the best option the tackle this issue. The better education about driving rules, the less accidents and deaths on the road. <br />And btw, i just have seen a really effective method in Japan how they have almost solved the problem. They created something on the road which produces sound loudly and annoyingly, or normally and comfortably depends on which speed ppl drive. In the other words. The faster ppl drive, the more annoying and noisy the sound on the road create and vice versa. This method have decrease dramatically the accidents and deaths on road which i think really effective. :) !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-68754453203528908892018-10-19T05:41:39.064-06:002018-10-19T05:41:39.064-06:00Truth be told, there’s no conceivable way anybody ...Truth be told, there’s no conceivable way anybody could state ‘do this, this and this and you will breeze through your <a href="https://www.justpass.uk/automatic-driving-lessons-wolverhampton/" rel="nofollow">Automatic driving lessons Wolverhampton</a>.

In terms of people they can drive with and improve the situation, I think it should be a driving teacher, someone in your family knows how to drive to make your experience become less pressure.t50mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533663241668124931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-39161732781672904512018-08-14T03:36:36.487-06:002018-08-14T03:36:36.487-06:00Where I live, Brazil, you can get your driving li...Where I live, Brazil, you can get your driving license when you are eighteen or more than eighteen. In my opinion, the situation that Randall propose, can happen in all places of the world, when a teenager is with your friends, he or she likes to show them that he or she know how to drive a car, and he or she is the 'best' person of the world doing it. So, in my opinion, to stop it, we have to show all teenagers what consequences they will see If they cause an accident, and we can do it from Internet ads, in TV, and all entertainment vehicles.

So, the level of car-accidents is pretty low. Otherwise, I have no idea about what cause most accidents, but I can still guess the majority of people who always are involved in accidents must be youngsters. It can depend on drink-cases, or while blabbing on a cellphone. One thing that I know is that car-accidents do not happen among the elders, most of the time. The driving age is 18, but it is not helpful according to many people, involve experts. <br /> I don't think that (when it comes to youth-people) most of the cases can depend on poor skills from the drivers' side, but however, carelessness. And it has with the brain to do. You know, how much is your age influences your mind, the way you think. When you get older you are careful with things, but you don't do that when you are young.Abdirahmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302178661530301400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-86760685793969775932013-02-28T16:53:23.639-07:002013-02-28T16:53:23.639-07:00It may help, but the fact of the matter is that fo...It may help, but the fact of the matter is that for most families, having their teens able to drive themselves can be very convenient.

However, I don't think that teenagers are, by definition, responsible for accidents on the road. It is imperative that drivers, regardless of their age, abide by traffic signs. To ensure that traffic signs are abided by, penal law should be enforced as a punishment.<br />I therefore think that people should not jump to conclusions. Anyone having a driving licence is supposed to know to drive. On the road, discipline is important. In other words, the road is neither a place for racing nor a place for drunk driving.

However, many car accidents have also been happening, especially accidents of coaches - the car carring passengers. Whenever the luner new year (the traditional new year of easten country) comes, millions of people from big cities come back their hometown. Therefore, at that time the drivers control their coachs running very fast in order to have the next voyage as soon as possible. That reason causes a lot of accidents every year. <br /><br />I hope that our country will upgrade the train system to reduce the pressure on coaches and have more trict ways to reduce this proplem.Cao Duchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116569839648477278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-55197966964455169562010-06-14T21:44:23.822-06:002010-06-14T21:44:23.822-06:00IVONNE , MEXICO

In fact, the solution could be educate better our kids in the traffic to improve the drivers.<br /><br />In addition, the punishment for traffic accidents are very low and because of this people do not be afraid about the punishments. For this reason, I think if the punishments are stronger people would think twice before make something wrong.Natháliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565346006458073134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-71572624525304788622010-02-26T09:25:45.457-07:002010-02-26T09:25:45.457-07:00First of all, congratulations for all your amazing...First of all, congratulations for all your amazing work.<br /><br />We must follow all the rules to have security for ourselves and also to others in the road.<br /><br />Teenagers should specially be more careful and the beginners in this topic, take care of their lives ! and by the way, you save others life too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-57485182217970094112010-02-26T09:21:50.434-07:002010-02-26T09:21:50.434-07:00I think that the problem of the traffic accidents ...I think that the problem of the traffic accidents is bad habits and I also think raising the driving age will not help because also old people causes traffic accidents that sometimes causes a bigger tragedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-22517731120026985492010-02-23T11:01:06.206-07:002010-02-23T11:01:06.206-07:00I think the teeneger could have many accidents bec...I think the teeneger could have many accidents because when they drive a car the talk with the cellphone, they listen music very loudly and they drive very fast.danielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049200086669896780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-41967794174395033712010-02-23T10:59:55.313-07:002010-02-23T10:59:55.313-07:00Here in Colombia the legal driving age is 18 but t...Here in Colombia the legal driving age is 18 but the teenagers dont cause too many accidents as the drunk adults (or the guerrilla).
