According to Lebanon24, The Lebanese Ministry of Interior and Municipalities is preparing to launch new secure driving licenses that will reduce the use of stolen and counterfeit licenses. The new licenses will come in the form of a chip-enabled magnetic card that uses biometric identification.
I couldn’t find further info on this topic but we are definitely headed towards biometric passports (I will elaborate on this issue very soon) so I wouldn’t be surprised if driving licenses get a much-needed upgrade at last. On another note, what needs to be changed as well is the process to receive a driving license. Chip-enabled driving licenses may prevent terrorists from copying them but they won’t prevent stupid drivers, who got their licenses without taking any lessons or going through a driving exam, from causing deadly accidents.
