LAHORE – Punjab traffic police have withdrawn a major relief extended to motorcyclists across Punjab to obtain the driving license after more than three months.
Bank in September this year, authorities eliminated the 42-day waiting period for learner permits’ holder bikers to apply for the permanent license. Previously, the motorcyclists were required to wait for 42 days after getting the learner permit to appear in the Test for permanent license.
The authorities had temporarily revoked the condition, allowing the citizens to apply for the driving license soon after getting the learner permit.
What’s Latest Development?
The traffic police said the relief has been abolished, adding that from now on the learner permit holders will have to wait for 42 days to appear in test for the valid driving license.
Additional IG Traffic Mirza Faran Baig said driving without a license will not be allowed, and strict enforcement will be ensured to ensure road safety.
The Punjab Traffic Police issued more than 841,000 driving licenses in November 2024, including over 243,000 citizens who obtained learner’s driving licenses.
A spokesperson for the Punjab Traffic Police further said during the same period, 308,000 new driving licenses were issued, and nearly 284,000 licenses were renewed, including both learner and regular categories.
