Six police chiefs failed to try the driver's license exam materials, it's time to change the exam materials?

 Not long ago, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo highlighted the practical driver's license (SIM) exam which he said was still too difficult, even comparing it with the actions of circus performers or acrobats who are good at swerving on motorcycles.

I totally agree that there has been a major change in the way of testing the knowledge, psychology, and practice of new SIM C applicants because so far the practical exam seems redundant because it is almost impossible to pass, especially when doing the "Number 8" exam and zigzagging roads without feet can touch the ground or drop barriers.

Moreover, not long ago in one of the areas there was The test that a police chief tried to do involved six police chiefs who he asked to try challenges like drivers who were taking the SIM C practical exam.

A reward of one million was offered... But none of them managed to get past the obstacles in the "impromptu test". Means... If the six police chiefs are likened to applicants for a new driver's license C, then they should have repeated the practical exam before being declared passed and entitled to a driving license. Right?

How about then using the services of brokers, in order to get convenience, as has been used as an alternative way for new SIM C applicants? Yes, it must be smooth and victorious... even if necessary, without a test, it can pass...!

The fact of failing to pass six police chiefs, especially in undergoing the most difficult exams (Number 8 and zigzagging) should make the eyes of the police literate ... that if even officers with positions at the level of police chief fail, let alone ordinary people who are nobody?

Indeed, there is no direct relationship between the position and the skill of driving a motorcycle. I also disagree with this latest fact finding, which may have been held impromptu in reaction to the criticism from the Chief of Police about the driver's license practice exam like a circus performer earlier.

In fact, since I was in elementary school, I have heard that this model of the driver's license practice exam has been like that, which means that it has not been evaluated for decades, especially regarding real use on public roads. No wonder it then becomes a sneer, satire, to a joke that is quite harsh if the authorities can still judge fairly and honestly.

Just try to remember how long you ride a motorcycle and how often the driver's license practice test material is encountered on the highway in normal conditions? Normal is, not in the rice fields, not on the mountain, also in a conscious state so that the road does not look like zigzags or the number 8 kayak in the complementary picture of this writing.

I've hardly seen or passed through such strange roads since I got my driver's license C at the age of 17. Please share if any of SEWORD-ers had passed challenges similar to the driver's license practice exam arena on the streets.

Since he was young, the Chief of Police has certainly seen and can judge that the SIM practical exam material is almost impossible to pass. Maybe out of 200 participants, passing 5 people is amazing, although if examined it is not necessarily the skills of the 195 people who failed the practical exam lost or often wretched (made wretched) when on public streets.

Maybe he experienced obstacles in breaking the bureaucracy and system that had been running for decades, and then only now had the opportunity when he became Chief of the National Police.

However, I hope that the judgment and comments of the Chief of Police are not just momentary or false promises. In my opinion, it only takes courage to break the system and there is absolutely no need for comparative studies abroad, because the road conditions and culture abroad must be different compared to the conditions in Indonesia.

Is it at the level of the Chief of Police unable to assess and conclude what needs are needed to reset the SIM C exam material, which can assess the ability of drivers before declaring graduation and issuing SIM C?

As long as he is brave and serious, he is also professional in assessing and narrowing down opportunities for the spread of brokering practices ... I think in a maximum of 2 years you can start trying the new SIIM C exam material, which is effective and really produces graduates who "can drive" because it has been tested. What do you think?
