Georgia eases driving licence rules with lower passing scores and flexible testing
Georgia has simplified the process for obtaining a category B and subcategory B1 driving licence. Changes to both theory and practical exams came into force this month, making it easier for candidates to pass. The updates include lower passing scores and more flexibility during testing. The new rules for the theoretical exam took effect on May 20. Candidates now need 25 correct answers out of 30 to pass, down from the previous requirement of 27. This adjustment aims to reduce the difficulty of the written test.
From May 22, those who pass the first practical stage can immediately register for the city driving exam. The practical test itself has also been modified. Examiners now allow more time for candidates to correct mistakes and follow instructions during urban driving. Another key change increases the number of minor errors permitted in the practical exam. Previously, candidates could make up to 12 small mistakes; this limit has now risen to 15. Further adjustments to the licensing process will come into force on June 15. To earn a licence, applicants must still complete three stages: a theoretical test, a closed-area practical exam, and a city driving assessment.
The updated rules reduce the passing score for theory tests and allow more minor errors in practical exams. Candidates also receive extra guidance during urban driving assessments. These changes aim to streamline the licensing process while maintaining safety standards.
