ZZS reveals shocking truth: foreigners drive without exams like Liepāja residents walk the beach without windbreakers
The Green and Farmers Union has decided that third-country drivers must take exams after six months, as the current system creates more chaos than Liepāja beach during a storm.
ZZS deputies have finally revealed their worst-kept secret: it turns out that people are driving on Latvia's roads without having taken exams! Shocking, isn't it? Almost as shocking as the fact that Liepāja beach can be cold even in July.
The new bill stipulates that after six months, foreign drivers will have to take both theoretical and practical exams. "It's fair," says local driving instructor Valdis. "We spend three months here teaching Liepāja residents how to properly stop at the Kurzemes prospekts traffic light, but they drive without any knowledge whatsoever!"
Most concerned are digital platform drivers who until now could drive with their home country licenses for a whole year. Now they'll have to learn Latvia's traffic rules, including that in Liepāja you're allowed to drive on the beach, as long as there isn't too much sand and the Baltic Sea waves aren't too high. "Competition will become fairer," ZZS rejoices. Yes, exactly as fair as a January morning by the sea — windy, cold, but at least everyone suffers equally.
The transition period will be six months, which is long enough to learn that Liepāja's winter roads are more slippery than Riga politicians' promises before elections.
