Learn safe driving only from authorised driving schools: Govt

With mushroom growth of illegal motor driving training schools in the national capital, Delhi government has come out with a list of 57 authorised centres and appealed to people to learn "safe driving" only from them.
At present, there are hundreds of such training schools which are illegally imparting driving training in different parts of the city, ignoring safety of learners and traffic rules, a senior official of transport department said.
"Keeping the safety of learners in mind, we have identified 57 authorised motor driving training schools across the capital and issued a list of such schools having valid licence," he said, and asked people to learn driving only from an authorised school.

There have been several cases in past in which vehicles belonging to illegal driving training schools have been involved in road accidents or have violated traffic rules, he said.
He also said such schools do not have proper safety arrangements and students can even hurt themselves and others while taking lessons in driving.
The transport department has asked people to inform them if driving training schools are found violating rules.
"We will soon approach the traffic police to tackle unauthorised driving training schools. We have requested people to inform us if they find any school violating traffic rules or other rules by dailling Helpline No. 42-400-400," he added.
