[Reporter Zheng Weiqi/Taipei Report] About 240,000 people test for a motorcycle driving license every year. In order to let the public cultivate correct concepts while taking the test for a driver's license, the General Administration of Highways plans to run a trial motorcycle driving training class next year to increase practical road driving training, and discuss Adjust the proportion of questions in the written test for the motorcycle license test, and optimize the test items on the site, such as strengthening the concept of stopping at unsigned intersections.

In addition, the risk perception test to be taken before applying for the motorcycle license test will be included in the test project from the current experience model.

Strengthen the concept of stopping and giving way at non-signalized intersections

According to statistics from the Road Safety Council of the Ministry of Communications, among the traffic accidents from January to August this year, 1,298 people died while riding motorcycles, an increase of 152 people and 13 more than the same period last year.

3%, of which 215 young people (aged 18 to 24) died, an increase of 17 and 8.

six%.

In order to make the content of the motorcycle license test more closely related to the actual road use conditions, and to include the motorcycle’s high violations and accidents into the test, Zhang Shunqing, deputy director of the General Administration of Highways, said that the current written test draws 50 questions from a question bank of more than 1,000 questions. , is currently studying to adjust the proportion of questions for various types of questions, and increase the proportion of questions related to the type of motorcycle accident, especially the proportion of questions related to non-signature intersections.

In addition, before applying for a motorcycle driver's license, one needs to watch videos on the danger awareness platform. There are already 95 animated videos on driving roads, and three of them will be selected for the public to watch, and judge which places may be dangerous during the driving process. Notice.

Zhang Shunqing said that this part is currently for the public to experience, but it is considered that it will be included in the examination project in the future.

Regarding the adjustment of the locomotive test project, Zhang Shunqing said that he is planning to optimize the test questions at unsigned intersections, incorporating concepts such as feeder roads giving way to main roads, and the concept of paying attention to safety at intersections before driving without a car, so that drivers can see the stop sign and actually make a stop. action.

As for whether the design of intersections will be added to the current test of driving around the field, so as to be closer to the actual road driving conditions, Zhang Shunqing said that planning and design are still needed, because all driving license test sites will be adjusted together, and the preparation time of each test room must be considered. It is estimated that It will be no problem to complete the optimization next year.

The locomotive driving training class has added actual road driving training items. There are two plans in the preliminary plan. One is to participate in the road driving experience course designed by the driving training class after obtaining the driver's license; Road driving lessons.

As for which plan to use or the two cases in parallel, it will be confirmed after reporting with the Ministry of Communications in the near future.
