The Transport Commission has rejected a proposal for changes in the Traffic Laws which would allow people who had not finished primary school, but were old enough, to turn up for driving exams.

The proposal for the change was made by Movement for Rights and Freedoms parliament member Remzi Osman, Focus news agency said.

According to Osman, driving a car was an elementary right, access to which should not be hindered.

Osman said driving exams existed of two parts, theoretical and practical, which meant that someone who could not read or write would not be able to sit the exams and would not be allowed to drive a car.
People who, for one reason or another, had not finished primary school but had a legitimate need to drive a car should not be denied access to the exams, he said.
