New rules for driving licence: From June 1, the entire process of getting a driving license (DL) in the country is going to change. Now those who want to get a driving license will not have to visit the RTO. Actually, the government is going to simplify the process of getting a DL. At present, the DL applicant has to go to the RTO and give the driving test. Sometimes one has to wait for months for the driving test. But now this problem of the people is going to be solved soon.
Work is underway to hand over the responsibility of conducting driving tests to private RTO centres instead of government driving test centres. According to the report, private driving centres will be given licence to conduct driving tests. This will increase the number of test centres in major areas, which will speed up the process of obtaining a driving licence.
Test centers will issue licenses
The government is considering giving license to these private test centers to issue driving license and many other certificates. Apart from this, the paperwork required while applying for driving license will also be reduced. The documents required to obtain a driving license will depend on whether the application is for a two-wheeler or a four-wheeler.
New rules will be applicable for training centers
Under the new rule, it will be mandatory for the driving training center to have at least 1 acre of vacant land for two-wheelers and 2 acres of vacant land for four-wheelers. Apart from this, these centers will also have to provide adequate training facilities. The trainer must have a high school diploma or equivalent degree, at least five years of driving experience and knowledge of biometrics and IT systems.
With regard to training, these centres will be required to provide 29 hours of training over 4 weeks for light motor vehicles (LMVs), which includes 8 hours of theory and 21 hours of practical training. For heavy motor vehicles (HMVs), 38 hours of training over 6 weeks will be mandatory which includes 8 hours of theory and 31 hours of practical training.
