Attention all aspiring drivers in Punjab! There’s some fantastic piece of news coming your way that will surely make your journey towards obtaining a drivering license smoother and more convenient. The Motor Vehicles Rules 1969 have come up with a major change, particularly concerning the driving test process.

In a recent tweet, Lahore traffic police has made an announcement that the e-sign test, a part of the driving test process, will now take place two weeks later. However, remember, passing the on-road test is still crucial. Failing it will result in a 42-day wait before retaking both tests.

On-road test comes a usual thing where you have to showcase your driving skills on the designated course. Failed? Take a deep breath and relax for 42 days!  Whereas e-sign test tests your theoretical knowledge at your convenience within the two-week window. Pass both tests, and your driver’s license is yours!

Overall, this adjustment in the Motor Vehicle Rules represents a positive step towards facilitating the licensing process for aspiring drivers in Punjab. It reflects a commitment to promoting road safety and ensuring that licensed drivers are proficient and responsible.

Online Registration

To facilitate the people, traffic police launched an online service for the people. The groundbreaking decision aims to simplify and streamline the licensing process, considering the surge in the number of people applying for licenses in the region.

Renew Driving License Online

People can renew their licenses through the online system. The candidates can renew their licenses for one, three, five, and ten years. Meanwhile, an international driving license will remain valid for three years.

The masses can download their local and international e-licenses easily, the announcement said, adding that these candidates would no longer have to take physical driving tests.
