What is the main purpose of conducting the TPST?

The primary purpose of conducting the Third Party Skills Testing (TPST) is to assess the readiness of new drivers for safe driving. This involves evaluating their practical driving skills, knowledge of traffic laws, and understanding of safe driving practices. The TPST is designed to ensure that new drivers meet the necessary standards before obtaining their driver’s license, thereby contributing to road safety.

By focusing on the practical application of driving skills, rather than just theoretical knowledge or test-taking strategies, the TPST aims to prepare individuals for the realities of driving on the road. This is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring that all drivers possess the necessary skills to navigate various driving conditions safely.
