After an initiative to make roads safe for motorists in the province, the incumbent Punjab government has come up with a plan to empower women with self-reliance by allowing them to learn to drive a motorcycle and a car under one roof.

For this purpose, the Punjab Chief Minister has established four driving schools in the capital city, including:

  • Abshar Driving School – Jail Road
  • Women On Wheels School – Ferozepur Road
  • Liberty Service Center Driving School
  • Manawan Traffic Lines Driving School

The Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) of Lahore stated that classes are held from 8 am to 4 pm to accommodate women, with driving schools offering a women-to-women service where female instructors teach and assist women learners. 

This initiative aims to promote women’s independence and mobility, enabling them to become self-sufficient and confident individuals.

Earlier this month, the provincial government brought good news for those who previously had to endure a 42-day wait after failing their road driving test. According to a tweet from the official government of Punjab and Lahore Traffic, candidates who fail the road driving test will now be permitted to retake it after just 15 days. Previously, the waiting period for the road driving test was 42 days.

The Punjab government also took many other steps to make license issuance process digital across the province including online registration and renewal of driving license.

Online Registration

To facilitate the people, traffic police launched an online service for the people. The groundbreaking decision aims to simplify and streamline the licensing process, considering the surge in the number of people applying for licenses in the region.

Renew Driving License Online

People can renew their licenses through the online system. The candidates can renew their licenses for one, three, five, and ten years. Meanwhile, an international driving license will remain valid for three years.

The masses can download their local and international e-licenses easily, the announcement said, adding that these candidates would no longer have to take physical driving tests.
