The traffic police have reinstated the mandatory 42-day waiting period for motorcyclists to apply for a valid driving license after obtaining a learner’s permit.
Earlier in September, the government temporarily removed this requirement, allowing citizens to take the motorcycle driving test immediately after acquiring a learner’s permit.
However, in the latest update, Additional IG Traffic Mirza Faran Baig announced that the 42-day waiting period for the driving license test has been reintroduced. Motorcyclists must now wait for this specified time before appearing for the test after securing their learner’s permit.
Learner’s License Fee
The provincial government has set the fee for a learner’s driving license at Rs 500, a significant increase from the previous cost of Rs 60.
Motorcycle Driver’s License Fee
For a motorcycle driver’s license, the fee structure has changed as well. Previously, a five-year license cost Rs 550. Now, motorcyclists are charged Rs 500 annually.
Car or SUV Driver’s License Fee
The annual fee for a driving license for cars or SUVs is now Rs 1,800. In the past, a five-year license for these vehicles cost Rs 950.
