        "content": "<p>SOLO, KOMPAS.com - The process of obtaining a motorcycle driving\nlicence (SIM C) requires several steps and conditions that must be met\nby each applicant. One mandatory requirement is a practical driving test\nto ensure riders possess safe and rule-compliant driving skills.\nInterestingly, SIM practical tests are no longer confined to Satpas\ntraining tracks but can also be conducted directly on public roads under\nofficer supervision. AKBP Prianggo, Sub-director of Traffic Registration\nat Central Java Police Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas Polda Jawa\nTengah), stated that SIM practical tests in Central Java are conducted\non public roads with officer supervision. Regulations permit practical\ntests to take place at Satpas training grounds or other designated road\nsections. \u2018The tests are conducted under officer supervision,\u2019 Prianggo\ntold Kompas.com recently. He added that on-road practical tests aim to\neducate riders on traffic etiquette, including maintaining safe\nfollowing distances. Additionally, the on-road tests are intended to\nimprove compliance with road signs and markings, and proper overtaking\ntechniques. Applicants undergo the test on public roads accompanied by\nofficers. However, the vehicles used remain Satpas training motorcycles.\nDuring the on-road test, officers assess the applicant\u2019s driving\nabilities. \u2018Officers will determine whether applicants pass or fail the\npractical test,\u2019 he said. Meanwhile, Aiptu Timbul Miftahul Ulum, SIM\nofficer at Satlantas Polresta Solo, said on-road tests are conducted\nafter applicants pass the initial practical test in designated Satpas\nareas. \u2018After passing the first test on the designated track, applicants\nproceed to the on-road exam. This is referred to as the second practical\ntest,\u2019 he told Kompas.com. The on-road practical test ensures SIM C\napplicants not only master technical riding skills but also understand\nreal-world traffic conditions.<\/p>",
