Driver's licence

Just because you know how to drive doesn't mean you can drive on the road legally. For that, you need a valid driver's licence.

You can't get a permanent licence or a commercial licence directly. With a permanent driver's licence, you can drive anywhere in the country except in commercial vehicles. You need to pass a written test to be able to get a learner's licence. Once you get a learner's licence, you can drive a vehicle with a person who has a permanent driver's licence. You can apply for a permanent licence after one month of receiving the learner's licence. This is a must for people who want to drive abroad. Make sure that you select the correct category of vehicle, i.e. LGV or MGV or HGV. This document is written in multiple languages so that authorities know that you are allowed to drive in their country. The learner's licence can be used anywhere in India for six months from the date of issue. Before getting a permanent driver's licence, you need a learner's licence. Make sure to make a big red 'L' sign on the front and back of the car. To get a learner's licence, you must score at least 60% in your written test.
