Reached the legal age to drive a two or four-wheeler and want to get a license? Well, you will need a learner’s license first to learn how to drive while protecting yourself and avoiding fines on the roads. You can get a license by visiting the RTO (Regional Transport Office) and filing for one. Along with that, the government of India has also digitized the process to make it more hassle-free and convenient.
The government of India allows citizens to obtain a Learner’s Licence under Section 4, which provides that a person who has completed 16 years of age may obtain a driving license to drive a two-wheeler without gear whose engine capacity does not exceed 50 cc with the consent of parent/guardian.
