A police commissioner just declared that drivers here have no idea how to operate a car after sunset. The ZRP spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, said the problem is so bad that it demands a full rewrite of the national driving curriculum. He blames driving schools that only operate in daylight.

He also slammed drivers for apparently forgetting all their skills the moment it starts raining. The comments ignited a major argument online. Plenty of people pushed back hard, saying the real issue is terrible road infrastructure, like broken street lights, not a lack of training. Others pointed to pure stubbornness from certain drivers, especially in trucks and unregistered vehicles.

Some agreed standards need a boost, but suggested different fixes. There were calls for introducing driving simulators at test centers to practice night and rainy conditions. Another popular idea was making defensive driving courses mandatory for every single person getting a license, not just professional drivers. The whole debate now puts pressure on transport authorities to decide if they will actually force those nighttime lessons.
