query :Sir,
1) I believe the Licence Issued in New Delhi are in the from of Cards (like credit cards). These are very easy to carry unlike the booklet type issued in Bombay. Why is Bombay (or for that matter all over the country) not adopting this card type licence?
2) For the purpose of learning can't we have something like simulated driving schools which can help a person learn without fear. This can also help a person improve his/her driving? For getting a driving licence is it necessary for someone to drive on the roads? If we have simulated driving schools that can replicate the road and traffic conditions one can probably make a better driver out of even an average person? 3) Is such simulated driving schools available any where in the world?

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : The issue of laminated driving license is discontinued by Mumbai RTO since last about five years due to some administrative problems in finalising tenders. It is likely to be reintroduced shortly.
It is not mandatory for the applicant of non-transport vehicles to learn driving from a driving school. So long as he can pass the driving test successfully, it is sufficient for him to become eligible for the driving license.
The simulated driving schools are operating in most countries like USA, Europe, Japan etc.

query :My company has a Tata Sumo registered in Pune (Maharashtra). The One Time Tax (Triple Tax for company)has been paid in Pune RTO The vehicle is to be sent to Ankleshwar (Gujrath) for use by project engineers. The project period is uncertain. If everything goes well, the project could be completed within 3 to 4 weeks. However, if there is a change in scope or due to delays, it could increase upto 5 to 6 months. What RTO formalities do we have to complete? Can these formalities be completed after getting some indication of expected time frame, say a 7/8 weeks after the vehicle is sent there?

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Since you are going to use your car in Gujarat only for few months, less than a year, you need not register your vehicle in Gujarat. You may just inform the RTO in-charge of Ankleshwar (Gujarat) and pay some small amount as road tax for that period.
