In Latvia, in light of recent events and new amendments to driver training regulations, driving schools are facing serious challenges. In particular, the management of one driving school has taken measures to dismiss instructors whose actions may not comply with professional ethical standards. The Ministry of Education emphasizes the need to revise training approaches and improve road safety.

According to the new amendments, requirements for driving instructors are becoming stricter: if less than 10% of students pass their exams on the first attempt, the instructor's license may be suspended. This measure aims to ensure quality training for drivers.

Instructors express concern that the new rules have increased the complexity and cost of training. Driving schools must now provide more intensive training, including a minimum number of practical classes. This has led to increased expenses for both driving schools and students, who need to prepare for exams in a highly competitive environment.

Many students are having difficulties successfully passing exams, raising questions about the quality of training and the responsibility of driving schools for preparing future drivers. Psychologists also note that the emotional influence from instructors can significantly impact the learning process. In this regard, driving schools are reviewing their internal regulations, striving to prevent similar situations in the future.
