The Bihar Road Safety Council has decided to make a certificate from a recognized driving training school mandatory for obtaining a Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) driving license. This change will be implemented through an amendment to the Bihar Motor Vehicle Rules.
In a significant move aimed at enhancing road safety, the Bihar government has mandated that applicants for a Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) driving license must now possess a certificate from an accredited driving training school. This new requirement was finalized during a meeting of the Bihar Road Safety Council.
The decision necessitates an amendment to the existing Bihar Motor Vehicle Rules to incorporate this new stipulation. The move is expected to ensure that all new drivers seeking an LMV license have undergone formal training, potentially leading to safer driving practices on the state's roads.
Further details regarding the specific types of training schools that will be recognized and the curriculum they must follow are anticipated as the rule amendment process progresses.
