PETITION TO THE ROADS AUTHORITY OF NAMIBIA
Proposal to Introduce Learner’s License Examinations at Universities
To:
The Chief Executive Officer
Roads Authority
We, the undersigned students and supporters, respectfully petition the Roads Authority of Namibia to consider implementing learner’s license written examinations at universities and higher education institutions across Namibia.
Background
Many university students face challenges accessing Roads Authority testing centers due to:
Distance from campuses
Transport costs
Long waiting periods
Conflicts between testing schedules and academic commitments
As students pursuing higher education and preparing for future employment opportunities, obtaining a driver’s license has become increasingly important for mobility, internships, and employment readiness.
Our Proposal
We propose that the Roads Authority:
Introduce scheduled learner’s license written examinations at universities.
Partner with institutions such as:
University of Namibia
Namibia University of Science and Technology
Other accredited colleges and vocational institutions.
Conduct mobile or temporary examination sessions on campus during selected periods each semester.
Allow online booking systems specifically for university students.
Benefits of the Proposal
This initiative would:
Improve access to licensing services for young people.
Reduce overcrowding at Roads Authority testing centers.
Lower transport expenses for students.
Encourage lawful and responsible driving among youth.
Support economic participation and employability for students.
Conclusion
We believe this proposal aligns with Namibia’s goals of youth empowerment, accessibility, and service delivery improvement. We respectfully request that the Roads Authority review and engage stakeholders on the possibility of piloting this initiative at selected universities.
We, the undersigned, support this petition.

I support this petition because it will make learner's driving exams more accessible to students, reduce travel costs, save time, and help more young people obtain their learner's licences conveniently while studying.
Signing the petition because as a student I already struggle to manage time with school and work so if the Road Authority were to bring the tests on campuses, it would be really easier for interested students to take part. That way most students will have licenses during or after graduation... Distance is the only barrier plus the waiting in lines while you have a test on campus pheeewww.
This would help us so much because transport to the ra offices is way too expensive for students on a budget.
I know the struggle of obtaining Learners license due to expenses involved but this is a good initiative.
I believe when it is accounted for as a course on its own at universities it would reduce delays and procrastination s it will become a corse for all students to do
It's a very big inconvenience for the students to be going to Natis to write the learners license when it can be brought closer to them.
Because I do not have any roadworthy documents, nor a learner's or driving licence. Need to be roadworthyhy.

It is convenient as students rarely have the time to go all the way to NaTIS to book for the learner’s license exam… just as convenient as how they make IDs in high schools as well
