The government of Telangana, India, has introduced new regulations for obtaining a driving licence, effective from April 1. These changes are part of a broader initiative to enhance road safety due to the alarming number of road accidents in the state, which claim over 7,000 lives each year. The revised process now requires applicants to complete an online road safety training module consisting of six segments, each lasting 30 minutes, for a total of three hours. This programme covers essential traffic rules, safe driving practices, and real-life scenarios to educate new drivers about the consequences of reckless driving. Candidates must pass assessments after each module to receive a certificate number, which is necessary for taking the learner’s licence test. The transport department believes these measures will significantly contribute to reducing accident rates and improving overall road safety in Telangana.
