Issue of driving licences - timing.

Circular no. 14/2009 which is a reproduction of circular no.43/2007 regarding issue of new licences set forth certain new guidelines regarding the percentage of failing the candidates.

As per this circular a motor cycle driving licence should take 4 minutes, a car licence to ten minutes and a heavy licence to 15 minutes.

The percentage of fail must be 15 to motor cycle and 25 to car and 50 to heavy.

If the candidates are many but the testing authorities are less how to overcome this.

1. Start the testing early. we may even start at 9 a.m. we may plan in such a way that we cater to all driving schools and all candidates.

2. The services of RTO may also be utilized as he is most of the times available and not constrained by other works like FC or Registration.

3. While calculating the time factor we need not count the failed candidates timing as an inspector can easily find out whether the candidate can handle a heavy or light vehicle at the very first minute.

4. As there is no limit to issue of licences, we may allocate maximum berth to driving licence.

5. However the timing factor has to be calculated perfectly as it is easily avilable in the computer, how many tests we have conducted .
