I can say, with confidence, that many of us, driving in Jordan, do not deserve our driving license. Frankly, driving tests that we undergo is so easy compared to other countries.
I live near 7th circle, and I pass the route that the "Licensing Department" use for testing candidates 10 times everyday, Its an easy known route for students and they drive through it like 1000 times when they are training for the test.
Is it really wise to tell the candidates what road they will pass through so that they will practice it hundred of times? Shouldn't it be up to the office to chose a different path every time so that you test the student in real life and see how he will behave?

“The driving part of your test will last about 40 minutes. Throughout the test your examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving, including when you are carrying out the set exercises. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test.”How is it done in the US - NY
“The passenger car road test usually takes about 15 minutes. It will test your ability to make basic maneuvers needed in everyday driving. You will have to make left and right turns, stop at intersections controlled by stop signs and traffic lights, and to parallel park. You also will be asked to turn your vehicle around in a narrow street (three-point turn) and to drive in fairly heavy traffic. The motorcycle test is slightly different from the passenger car test. For example, instead of parallel parking, you will be required to make figure-eights in a small area such as a narrow streets and to make left and right circles.

A 5 minutes test in a well known route to all students, in which they drove through with their instructor like 1000 times and they can do it with closed eyes. Yet, they fail!
