[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] A driving school in Dubai has attracted attention by opening a course where students practice driving with supercars.
On the 25th (local time), ABC News in the United States introduced a driving school in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) known for teaching driving with supercars such as Lamborghini and Bentley.
The driving school called 'Emirates Driving Institute' in Dubai has a lineup of luxury cars. The tuition fee for the 'Platinum Driving Course,' which uses these luxury vehicles for driving lessons, ranges from a minimum of $3,800 (approximately 4.3 million KRW) to $5,900 (approximately 6.68 million KRW).
Dubai is one of the countries with the highest consumption of supercars in the world. Accordingly, the school reportedly opened this course with the intention of teaching considering Dubai's actual road environment, where luxury cars are common. The released video attracted attention by showing people who have actually started learning to drive practicing by driving these vehicles themselves.
A school official stated, "There have been cases where customers who finished practicing with regular cars caused accidents when they drove their own supercars as beginner drivers," adding, "The idea was to help customers adapt more easily to the luxury vehicles they will actually purchase after obtaining their driver's license." One student said, "I am satisfied because I can drive a supercar with an instructor."
