Make sure your driving licence is valid and renewed on time! A long delay in renewal may require you to take a fresh driving test. Plus, don’t forget to carry all mandatory documents when on the road. Check out the post above for details.
After holding a learner’s licence for at least 30 days, you can apply for a permanent licence by passing the driving test at the RTO. Drive responsibly, follow the rules, and earn your licence to hit the road legally. #DrivingLicense #PermanentLicense #RoadSafety
Visiting a Regional Transport Office (RTO) after 2 decades, Sumana Narayanan concludes that the old adage, “the more things change, the more they remain the same”, is very apt.
When I took the driving test for my LMV licence I was quite nonchalant, having driven a two-wheeler for about two years before and schooled in road rules by the extended family, mostly in the form of asides when other road users behaved badly, “Idiot! Pulling into traffic without looking, without signalling! What is this country coming to?”. At the RTO, for the driving test, I remember being packed into a Maruti 800 with five other 18-year-old women and the Motor Vehicles Inspector. The test was simple.
