Getting a drivers license in India
Getting a drivers license in India
Don’t know what your experience has been and if things have changed now but this incident I would like you all to know about is from back in 1996 and my friend who was 16 at that time who was one year younger then me and we were both in the same school. My friend was very eager to get a drivers license coz his dad got him a 100cc Yamaha bike and he was only allowed to ride it inside the township as he didn’t have a drivers licence and was under 18 and one has to be 18 to get a licence. But where there is a will there is a way. My friend decided to get a drivers licence and went to the licensing authority office the next day and got in touch with a tout there who promised a licence for 400 rupees in one day so it was time for saving up some money from our pocket money, he borrowed rs250 from me and he had the rest with him and went to the dalla and got his new drivers licence the same day without having to make a learners licence even. Took about 3 hours and total cost rs400 and he was 16 at that time and it was a licence issued by the authority itself and we even got it checked by other sources that yes it was a genuine licence and not a home made one. My friend started using it from that day and still has it as a memory.
Don’t know if it’s the same now but if it is the same I am sure the prices must have gone up by a bit.
