Expatriates may have to take driving test

The Caymanian Compass reports that Works and Infrastructure Minister Arden McLean is pressing for a change to the rules for obtaining a driving licence that currently apply to expatriate workers. Currently, most workers can present a licence from their home country and obtain a Cayman licence without taking a driving test. There has been a big increase in the number of fraudulent licences presented by expatriate workers, particularly from Filipino citizens. Road traffic accidents have increased significantly this year.
