📣 Attention for those who wish to take their driving test in English.
📍 Transport Administration has changed its previous practice where examiners had an option to conduct driving tests in a foreign language (e.g. English or Russian). Henceforth, be ready that your examiner will not communicate with you in English, even if he/she speaks English.
As before, theory tests can be taken in Estonian, English or Russian.
👉 If your Estonian is not sufficient to take a driving test, you should invite a translator. He/she does not have to be a professional translator. This can be any person who is able to translate driving test specifics between English and Estonian (incl. your driving teacher or colleague). The translation costs are not covered by Transport Administration.
🚦 The new practice has been introduced because many people came to driving test hoping that their examiner speaks their language. All the examiners do speak at least one foreign language, however there is no guarantee that he/she speaks your language. For this reason, many driving test were cancelled. To improve the situation, Transport Administration decided to conduct driving tests only in Estonian.
