Super announcement for driving license holders.. Do you know what?
A driving license is mandatory to drive every vehicle in India, starting with a two-wheeler. But recently the central government has simplified the process of obtaining a driving license. Apart from that, the central government has given good news to motorists who already have a driving license.
The old method of obtaining a driver's license was to visit the nearest regional office. There first a learner's license with 6 months validity will be issued.
Then go to the RTO office for a driving test. If you pass the test there..the original driving license will be issued in that office that evening.
Now you don't need to go to the RTO offices though the process is the same. Also, no need to pass the exam. But these new rules require passing an examination conducted by a recognized institution.
Licenses are available only to those qualified by the company. This way there is no need to go round the RTO office.. no need to stand in queues. Central and state road transport departments are starting driver training institutes. Applicants for driving licenses can register at the centers of authorized driving institutes.
Meanwhile, indian driving license holders do not need to obtain additional licenses to drive in other countries. An indian driving license is valid for up to four weeks in mauritius if it goes to the list of recognized countries.
Here you can drive on beaches with this driver's license. indian driving license is accepted even in Spain.
It can also be driven in Sweden, Singapore, Switzerland, and the USA. Form 1-94 must be filed in the United States. With this, the Center has also given exemptions to driving license holders.
