Description

A driving licence is a card showing that you are qualified to drive because you have passed a driving test.

Driving licence in India is a permit to drive a specified category of the vehicle on the road, i.e a two-wheeler, four-wheeler or a commercial vehicle as well, within territorial boundaries. Your Driving licence is an official document issued by the Government of India to drive your car, truck, bus, bike, et all.

This is the first type of driving licence in India, that means you are learning the basic skills of driving/riding. This type of driver’s licence is valid up to six months. You can apply for a permanent licence after 30 days from the date of issuance of a learner’s licence. In other words, having a learner’s licence is a prerequisite for getting a permanent licence. You must, however, remember that this type of driver’s licence means that you have to follow certain stipulations. These are:

• You should be trained to drive/ride the vehicle by an individual having a permanent driving licence.
• You are required to display the sign ‘L’ in your vehicle in red colour. The sign should be clearly visible.
• In addition to learning the mechanism of the vehicle, you are also supposed to know about traffic rules and road signs.
• In the case of commercial vehicles, the holder of a learner’s licence has to undergo training from government motor driving institutes.
• In the case of riding a two-wheeler, no person except your trainer should ride as a pillion.
