The Punjab government has taken a major step toward modernizing driver education by expanding driving simulator training to 28 districts across the province. The initiative is part of efforts to improve road safety and create more skilled and confident drivers.
According to Punjab DIG Traffic Muhammad Waqas Nazir, simulators were installed in driving schools across 20 districts this month, raising the total to 28 districts equipped with modern training technology. Just last month, only eight districts had access to the simulators.
By the end of this month, the program will cover all 38 districts of Punjab. The rollout began in Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad, before extending to Gujranwala, Multan, Sahiwal, Okara, Gujrat, and other areas.
The simulator-based training follows a two-stage system:
Officials emphasize that this blended approach ensures drivers are better prepared before hitting the roads, thereby reducing accidents and improving road discipline.
The initiative has been launched under the vision of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, who aims to build a “safe and modern Punjab.” By moving away from outdated training methods and introducing cutting-edge technology, the government hopes to set a new standard for driver education in Pakistan.
With the full rollout expected soon, the Punjab driving simulator training program is poised to transform how new drivers are trained. By combining innovation with practical skills, the project promises safer roads, disciplined traffic flow, and fewer accidents across the province.
