Lahore Police to Impose Heavy Fines on Drivers with No License

If you drive or ride your way to the office, school or college and don’t have a driving license, it is the right time to get one now, because the new government is taking the issue seriously.

Lahore Traffic Police has made another announcement related to the traffic rules; they are going to impose hefty fines on people who either don’t carry their driving license or haven’t got one yet.

LTP has set a deadline until the end of December 2018. From the next year, drivers found without a driving license will face huge fines, said a public service message from the city’s traffic police.

The authority has urged the public to acquire their licenses, if they don’t have one, from the nearest center to avoid any trouble.

In light of the Lahore High Court’s order, the city traffic police has been on heels. They are clamping down on traffic violations in the city.

First, it started an effective awareness campaign on helmets followed by a crackdown and hefty fines which resultantly lessened the number of head injuries in case of accidents. Then, it banned the underage drivers roaming about the roads.

Moreover, the traffic police on Thursday kicked off a campaign against bikes without side mirrors. As per an announcement, from the November 1st, the police will strictly go after the people who don’t comply with the orders.
