The Pune City Motor Driving School Association has urged the state
transport department to make professional training compulsory for those
learning to drive cars and two-wheelers before they get permanent
driving licences.
The association claims that professional training sessions will help people, particularly those learning to ride two-wheelers, understand rules of safe driving better, thereby curbing accidents caused by rash driving and violation of basic traffic rules. "Many people learn driving from friends and relatives. We are not against it, but we want them to be thorough with rules and regulations so that they become responsible drivers," said Raju Ghatole, the association's president.
"Various surveys have highlighted why two-wheeler riders are at a higher risk of dying in accidents. Pune records a high number of such accidents. Incidents of rash driving are on the rise. Drivers need proper training at the initial stage. Motor driving schools can play a vital role in providing basic information of laws and safety measures to riders, who are otherwise unaware of such laws," Ghatole said.
