India’s Driving Licence System Is a Joke — Anyone With ₹500 Can Become a ‘Driver.’

🔥THE TRUTH india KEEPS IGNORING


Everyone knows indian roads are deadly. Everyone knows accidents are rampant. But the bitter truth we pretend not to see is this: India doesn’t have a road problem. india has a driving licence problem. When a few hundred rupees can magically turn an unskilled driver into a “certified” one, no amount of road widening, traffic campaigns, or speed limits will save us.




1. “Pay and Pass”: India’s Open-Secret Shortcut to Death


In india, you don’t earn a driving licence.
You buy it.


A failed driver? No problem. Slip some cash. Smile. Sign. Congratulations — you’re now “qualified” to operate a vehicle capable of killing someone in seconds.


No proper evaluation.
No accountability.
Just another transaction at the RTO counter.




2. Meanwhile, USA & europe Treat Licensing Like a Life-Or-Death Skill


Across the Western world, getting a licence is tough.
Multiple tests.
Mandatory courses.
Instructor training.


Actual assessment of judgment, reflexes, awareness, and decision-making.
No shortcuts. No envelope under the table. No casual passes.


You fail? You train again.
In india, you fail? You pay again.




3. The Tests in india Are a comedy Show Masquerading as a Safety Process


Reverse in 30 seconds.
Park in a designated box.
Drive around a circle.
Congratulations, you’re a “driver”.


These tests are outdated, irrelevant, and barely mimic real-world driving.
90% of driving requires lane discipline, braking judgment, overtaking awareness, blind-spot control, and defensive instincts.


But we test NONE of those.
We test gimmicks — and then wonder why the roads look like demolition derbies.




4. This Isn’t Just Corruption — It’s Systematic Public Safety Negligence


Every time an untrained driver gets a licence, the system signs off on a potential accident.
Every bribe at an RTO is a bullet loaded into India’s traffic chamber.


And when 1.5 lakh indians die on the roads every year, we act shocked.


Why?
We literally allowed unqualified people to drive 1-tonne machines at high speed.




5. The ONLY Way Forward: Bring AI Into Driving Assessment


If humans can be bribed, biased, sloppy, or lazy — let machines judge.


AI can track:

  • reaction time

  • mirror checks

  • lane discipline

  • braking patterns

  • speeding tendencies

  • gap judgment

  • overtaking behavior

  • pedestrian awareness


It can analyze thousands of parameters in seconds — accurately, impartially, and with zero chance of corruption.
AI-based driving assessment is not a luxury anymore.


It’s a public safety necessity.




6. Verdict: india Isn’t Reckless — The System That Certifies Its drivers Is


india doesn’t lack good drivers.
India lacks a system that ensures only good drivers get on the road.


Until licensing becomes strict, scientific, and corruption-proof, indian roads will remain blood-soaked battlegrounds.
