LAHORE – Traffic police have launched a crackdown across the Punjab against those who are driving cars, motorcycles and other vehicles without holding a valid driving license.

The action has caused a massive inflow of citizens at traffic police offices and Police Khidmat Markaz in various cities of Punjab, including Lahore, to get learner driving license so they could save themselves from registration of FIR and challan.

However, the Lahore Traffic Police in a recent post shared on social media platform X clarified that cases will not be registered against those who hold learner driving license.

However, it added that traffic cops will continue to issue Rs2,000 challan to holders of the learning permit if they hit the major roads.

Police said drivers with learning permit are not allowed to drive vehicle on main arteries, adding that they have to get the permanent license after clearing the test.
