JEDDAH: Authorities have decided to allow newly arrived foreigners with valid licenses from their home countries to drive in the Kingdom for up to three months before being required to obtain a Saudi driving license.
“Within the first three months the driver needs to go to a driving school and pass the driving test to obtain a Saudi driving license,” said a source in the Traffic Department.
Employers should inform their insurers if a foreign worker will be driving a company vehicle using his foreign license.
Sponsors lose considerable working hours because the drivers they import cannot work until they get a Saudi license.
