No More Long Lines At
Driver Testing Centre
Beginning Tomorrow
The long lines to get an
appointment at the
drivers licensing office
in La Uruca may soon be
a thing of the past as
the Ministerio de Obras
Públicas y Transportes (MOPT)
opens its "call centre"
Monday.
The Call Centre will
take requests for
appointments from those
looking to take the
written exam and driving
test to obtain their
drivers license.
The Call Centre will be
operated by Radio
Mensajes which will have
six operators to start
with and grow with the
demand.
In addition to the
changes in the
appointments system, the
MOPT will also be using
a closed circuit
television monitoring
system at the driver
testing centre in an
attempt to eliminate the
bribing of test
officials.
Viviana Martín,
vice-minister of
transport, said that the
television monitoring is
a result of the many
complaints from those
who failed their driver
exam, claiming that test
officials failed them
for refusing to hand
over a bribe. "What we
are looking for is
concrete evidence of the
allegations", said
Martín.
However, the television
cameras won't be rolling
for at least another
three months waiting
budget approval. Martín
added that the
monitoring will be
extended to all testing
centres in the six
regions once the San
José system is up and
running.
