In a statement, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development said, ” Don’t let unverified claims cause panic.

“The Government has NOT announced any changes to the current driver’s licence classes — a Class 2 licence holder can still legally drive Class 4 vehicles.

“Members of the public are urged not to rely on unverified social media claims regarding Government policy. Always obtain information from official Government communication channels.”
