The rise in fuel prices has put driving schools in great difficulty. As if the increased taxes and other services required for vehicles were not enough, the price of fuel has dealt the final blow to a service that has survived with the same prices for 15 years. Driving school administrators are considering raising the price of their services if fuel continues to remain at such levels. According to Mr. Lulaj, who has been running a driving school business for 36 years, the number of trainees has dropped by more than 50%, and this is due to the ever-declining economy.
