Manual driving testing to be started soon for drivers in three cities of the state

Accidents on state routes will be reduced, facility of driving testing and training will be available at one place

Lucknow, April 22, 2022

In a bid to make the roads of Uttar Pradesh even safer, the Yogi Government, in its second innings at the helm of the state, has instructed the Transport Department to open Driving Testing and Driving Training Institutes (DTTIs) in Bareilly, Jhansi, and Aligarh districts. Driving licenses will be issued only to the candidates who pass the test at these centres.

During the training of driving vehicles in the institute, complete information about traffic rules will be given. Those who do not pass the test will be stopped midway. With the initiative of systematic and effective training, accidents on state roads will be reduced significantly.

For the first time, these Driving Testing and Driving Training Institutes, which are going to be opened in three major cities of the state, will prepare manual driving testing as well as sensored automatic driving test techniques. The sensors on this track will immediately catch the mistake of the examinee while giving the test.

People will get opportunities to correct mistakes and learn the tricks of efficient driving. Road safety will also become effective if the vehicle drivers are fully aware of the traffic rules. Along with bringing unprecedented improvement in the services of transport in the state, for the first time, the state government is going to make arrangements for driving, testing, and training in one place.

With this, people who have got driving licenses will also get convenience. They will not have to race from one place to another for the test and get the license. It is worth mentioning that the Yogi government is constantly making efforts to increase road safety.

During its last tenure, the government started Road Safety Month to prevent deaths due to road accidents and conducted many awareness programmes. These included transport, health, schools, colleges, and social institutions.
