Why Is There A Necessity for a Driving Licence
Section 3 states that no person can drive a motor vehicle in a public place without a valid driving licence. The licence must specifically authorize the person to drive that type of vehicle. Driving a transport vehicle requires specific authorisation on the licence, except for certain exemptions like motor cabs or motorcycles hired for personal use. The Central Government can set conditions allowing learners to drive under supervision without holding a full licence.
What Is The Punishment for Driving
Driving without a licence or below legal age under Section 181 penalizes anyone driving without a valid licence or not meeting the legal age requirements under Section 4. Offenders may face imprisonment of up to three months, a fine of up to ₹5,000, or both. This section ensures strict compliance with licensing and age restrictions.
Conclusion
Sections 3 and 181 work together to maintain road safety by ensuring that only qualified and authorized drivers operate vehicles. These rules protect the public and hold violators accountable with strict penalties.
