The Lahore Traffic Police have announced significant reforms to ensure transparency in the issuance of driving licenses. According to DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir, new measures will ensure that licenses are granted only to skilled and qualified applicants, eliminating irregularities and malpractice.

Video Recording Made Compulsory for All Tests

Under the updated policy, no driving license will be issued without video evidence of the driving test. Cameras installed at testing centers will remain operational at all times and cannot be turned off. This ensures accountability and removes the possibility of manipulation during the process.

Permanent Storage of Driving Test Recordings

In the past, driving test videos were stored for only 15 days, limiting the ability to verify complaints. Now, all test recordings will be permanently stored and secured through the Safe City Authority’s data center. This measure guarantees long-term access to evidence for greater transparency.

Automated Monitoring With Cameras and Sensors

To enhance the credibility of the process, the system now uses cameras and vehicle sensors that automatically detect errors during driving tests. This technology-based evaluation ensures only competent drivers are able to qualify for a license.

Ending Malpractice in License Issuance

DIG Waqas Nazir stated that the new system will eliminate the practice of issuing licenses to untrained or recommended applicants. By relying on transparent monitoring and permanent video evidence, the Lahore Traffic Police aim to establish a merit-based licensing system that prioritizes road safety.
