Getting a driver’s license has become a basic need in urban households especially among upper class and upper middle class. This is because they already own a car. New graduates or high school leavers would rather go to a driving school rather than stay at home. Having attended a driving school is no longer as important as some of these ‘students’ actually drive on their way to the driving school. All you need to do is have a L sticker on your car or a driving manual in your defense in case you are pulled over. It has actually become worse because people even buy these licenses from the officials in driving schools. To add salt to the injury, the level of corruption on our roads is so high that it’s actually normal to get pulled over by the police so they can collect their ‘daily bread’ and move on. All these have necessitated the need to upskill and reskill drivers and fleet operators. While having a driver’s license is essential, it is not enough. Some license holders have not even had enough experience on the road to be trusted with the lives of other road users. It is important to retrain drivers and fleet operators to impart special skills and knowledge on how to ensure road safety, wellness and customer experience.
