Romania Considers Reintroducing Closed-Circuit Driving Test
Romania may reintroduce the closed-circuit test for B category driving licenses. This test, last used in 2000, included ramp starts and parallel parking. The draft law proposes two exam stages: closed-circuit first, then public roads. The aim is to ensure drivers master vehicle handling. Infrastructure updates would follow within six months if the law passes.

Romania is considering reinstating the closed-circuit driving test for B category driving licenses, a practice that was discontinued in 2000. This potential change is part of a draft law currently under review. If implemented, the driving exam will consist of two phases: an initial test in a controlled environment, followed by the practical test on public roads.
The previous version of the closed-circuit test included various skills assessments, such as starting on a ramp, reversing, parallel parking, and turning in confined spaces. The aim of reintroducing this component is to ensure that drivers have a thorough understanding of vehicle handling before they encounter real traffic conditions.
The initiators of this draft law believe that testing drivers in a controlled environment will provide a more thorough evaluation of their capabilities. New drivers will be well-prepared. This approach is intended to ensure they can handle the complexities of public roadways with confidence and competence.
A critical timeline.
Should the draft law be approved, the necessary infrastructure adjustments for the reintroduction of the closed-circuit test are expected to be completed within six months after the law is enacted.
