The growing number of road accidents warrants a serious
introspection on the part of every road user on the ways of making driving a
relatively safe experience. It is upto each one of us to make driving a safe
affair.
Obtaining a valid driving license is the first step towards responsible
driving.
On our part, we give the steps to obtain a Learner's License, and later in the
section, a permanent license.

|
|
|
|

If the candidate passes the oral test on the Rules of
The Road Regulations, he is required to collect his Learner's License from the
office of the Regional Transport Officer(RTO).
The Learner's License allows you to drive the vehicle you have applied for, but
only with someone beside you, who is a license holder.
The sign 'L' should definitely be painted on the back and front of the vehicle
in red to alert other road users.
Period of Learner's License :
This learner's license is valid for a period of 6 months after which
another application would be needed. The permanent license can be obtained
after a period of 1 month of having acquired the learner's license, if the
applicant so wishes. |

|
|
|
|
The required Fees :
Rs.60 for one category of vehicle.
Rs.15 for additional categories.
Rs. 55 for additional endorsement in existing license.
The candidate must make sure he is well versed in driving by now and is ready
for a test drive.
Please contact the RTO Office for updated fee list.
The following documents are needed at this stage :

2. Original Driver's License
3. Three Stamp size photographs
At the time of getting the Permanent License, the applicant must bring along
with him/her the category of vehicle for which he has applied for license.
The next step is a driving test by an expert who is the final arbiter in this
respect. A pass here means that the form will be stamped "Test Passed" and
directed for Permanent Driving License to the License Issuing Authority. For
obtaining the laminated Driving License, the applicant will have to present
himself/herself at the concerned RTO's office on the day specified by the AASI
for the purpose. |
