Ujung Menteng UP PKB Information Service Staff, Sari Wariastuti admitted that she was surprised by the arrival of Mr. Governor and his staff. She even experienced nervous feelings when answering his questions regarding the technique and mechanics of driving a vehicle at this location.
"Surely, nervous when he asked me but I can answer it considering the questions are common and are usually asked by people every day," she admitted.
She explained that in this kir test, the applicant must first register via the e-kir Jakarta booking application.
"Then the applicant pays directly to the Bank DKI teller or can via the ATM," she explained.

"Except for Saturday, the number of vehicles undergoing road tests is only 264 vehicles," he added.
