The new driving licence rules are implemented to address the issues responsible for the rising number of road accidents. The government is endeavouring to streamline and introduce precise and effective methods of driving training. India has a lack of skilled drivers. This new rule aims to solve this problem as well. Not just the driving test in front of the RTO , but rather each day at training will ensure better performance of the trainee to become an expert driver.
