Three major reasons why people choose agents:- 1. if you apply online for lisence RTO takes 3-4 months to call for Test(varies to diff. Location) 2. Very long queues waiting for their turn daily, If you go early morning then also no gaurantee your turn comes. 3. Corrupted rto officers, they have tie-ups with agent. Conclusion:-driving licence procedure should be as simple and fast as Fastag and Online
I am a resident of Uttar Pradesh and when I visited the RTO office to request for a license, they kept on giving reasons after reasons to delay my license issuing process because I didn't give any money to the Agents. They were very unhappy with me and kept on asking me to take help or contact any of the agents, I know they also got a paycut from those agents. I think RTO is among the most corrupt offices in our country.
Same thing happen with me in RTO Aligarh(U.P.), it took around 2 years for a learning licence due to multiple visits, they behave in such a manner that you'll feel ashamed of not subscribing an agent. At every step they'll make you feel like a criminal. Finally for Permanent Licence I get in touch with an agent sitting outside the RTO Office.
I can relate. A friend of mine got everything right until the last moment where the RTO's payment machine stopped working. What a complete joke! honest people are punished in India.
This is the reality of Double engine Govt. I also remember a year ago BJP made a fake news and shown Beijing airport as UP's Jewar airport and Chinese minister had to tweet on this saying Modi Govt was using Beijing starfish airport to advertise themselves. Hope people understand their game. How they spread fake news and hate and brag about their false achievements in ads.
@@crczr 🤦🏻♂️ BJP Government se pehle toh khullam-khulla paise lete they Government Officials, aab kam se kam dar toh lagta hai unhe paise lete huye, aur 1 saal pehle toh Jewar Airport bana bhi nhi tha ye baat sabko pta hai fir wo China ke Airport ki photo lagaake ye bolenge ki ye Jewar Airport hai ! Nasha karta hai kya bhai tu ? Tujhe khud hosh hai tu kya likh rha hai ?
My first license was made only through paying money. And it was “cool” at that point. But today, I can see the condition of the drivers in India and feel that there needs to be a delicensing exercise (similar to demonetisation) where each person has to renew their license through the right process. Today, I hold an Australia DL too and I can see the value of a strict driving test. I am ready to renew my license ligitematly! Government just needs to do it! Investing in world class highways and roads may not work if the usage is flawed.
I still remember the time when I was so excited to give my driving test at the RTO, because I genuinely have a passion for driving cars. But the inspector didn't even take my test, he just saw me sitting in the car and said okay you passed. Even though I got my license, which is definitely something I am grateful for, this isn't how it was supposed to be. India definitely needs to do something to get rid of these careless officers and set better standards for obtaining a license
I lived in this US for 15 years. And even today I heard my nephew got his license because my cousins just paid RTO for it. No test nothing. It’s really shameful to know that this still happens.
It will still continue because India don't take strict action against RTO officers which make them think they can do anything and get away with it I believe India should take strict action then they will learn a lesson and stop taking bribe
@@crczr no its never a solution it will create more problems India doesn't have enough public transport to transport millions of people each single day private vehicles are okay and bad at same time like in some places it's a absolute need and. In some areas it should be banned the real solution in my opinion is to make everyone from age of 18-60 for driving test which is harder like Japanese level shit it will improve most of the stuff but it's my opinion only
i paid to get the license, not because i dont know how to drive but because they won't pass you until you pay up, the testers have no training at all, no professionalism, they will shout at you and what not, and they are not permanent but on contract, the test for car include making a figure of 8 and breaking on a ramp, they will either say you did't gave indicator or will say you your car backed up on the ramp, which is not the case. I first failed the test first and then i had to pay.
In my state Andhrapradesh, the RTO examiners are so corrupt that knowingly fail geniune exam appearers stating stupid reasons and make u roam back and forth and finally break u to go to the agents so that they can get extra commission 😑😑 even if Louis Hamilton attends a driver's exam in our state they will fail him too 😂
@@Sikhar6542 sorry teliyaledu, btw I'm from Vizag, I also got a license but without Agent's help costed me around Rs.2100/- (LLR & DL) for both 2 ND 4 wheeler my age is 19
I agree with you completely. I was holding a driving licence in India but last year I moved to Sweden and I took lots of practice classes to pass the driving test. Here is a brief summary of whole procedure: 1. You need to do Risk 1 and Risk 2 sessions: Risk 1: 3 hour lecture on risky driving. e.g. Night driving, Risks of drunk driving, braking distance, reaction time etc. Risk 2: 3 hour practical session where they take you to a slippery/snow covered practice area and give you a feel of aqua-plaining, braking distance in wet and dry surface, car control with new and old tyres Theory test: You need to score 51 out of 65 Practical test: It involve dozens of rules like, following a traffic sign, entering and exiting highway, driving on country road, parking, environmental driving and lot more. I will try to make a video on this. Thanks.
I think the society lacks patience in general, we seem to be in a rush to get any documentation as quickly as we can instead of understanding the time one needs to devote towards learning something, such as driving. This herd mentality of trying to acquire anything and everything in the quickest way possible is probably what's stoping us from becoming truly developed and I hope it changes!
Boss, my brother had been trying to make his licence directly through RTO and without any agents. His learner's licence expired twice due to delays in document verification and always some document being wrong according to them. And they don't even inform about it, just reject and stay silent until we go after weeks to find the status at the RTO. They literally don't move your application until you pay them through the agents.
Now this is the video I waiting for. Perfectly summarized my thoughts on the state of driving in India. Id also add that half of the traffic jams we have are due to the shitty driving we do on the roads.
It's terrifying how accurate this is. I can cite examples of reckless driving, especially from brats with muscle bikes whizzing through traffic with reckless abandon, as recent as yesterday.
Privatize all RTO’s and also bring in performance based appraisals for the agents. Immediately suspend licenses of every single reckless driver so that they have to retake the test again. Harden the difficulty level during the tests. If anyone in RTO found taking bribes, break the tenure with the private company. It will take an year to get things on track
Indian Driving Licence Test only focuses on how the person operates and control the vehicle and overall movement but it don't focus on the traffic awareness, decision making in such hazardous situations, the path of travel and other necessary things
So true, most people don't even know how to follow lanes. My dad keeps changing lanes without indicator, and he drives in two lanes all the time and he doesn't even care when I tell him to drive properly.
Bhai, you are absolutely right about the auto drivers in Bengaluru! I'm a resident of Bengaluru & the auto drivers are one of the most reckless drivers in the city. One of the main reason for this, in my opinion is the rising demand for bike taxies. Because the bike taxi thing is eating into their business, they become naturally careless & jealous towards other riders. I've personally heard people talking about how they get ignored by every auto driver when they wanna go to a particular route so naturally people choose Uber, Rapido etc. This is how the auto drivers have become so reckless. Super informative video bhai!😊😊
True, the auto drivers and frustrated IT employees leaving the offices in the evening. Don't forget the cab drivers. Reckless driving to the Max. Also the horn sounds. Unnecessarily they will honk. I get frustrated driving in Bangalore. Only on Sundays few will follow traffic rules.
I am from Bangalore.. you're 1000% right. Hardly people know the basic rules. 🙄. Apart from the Autorickshaw drivers, they're God, they're allowing, us common people to use their roads to commute.
You are absolutely correct. I failed my UK driving test because I didn't see a van coming behind me while joining the road, though it was far. Even hesitation is counted as a fault so u just cant driving too slowly through the test, it literallyneeds to be perfect. Standards are so high here. But now I see how organized the traffic is here. India needs good driving instructors and definitely a hard driving test like Europe/Japan.
Constructive Criticism: The list at 2:15 has typos (Thailand, United States). Then again at 2:37 (Traffic DEATH, Social Media SENTIMENT) I love your videos. keep them coming 😍
Yes quite surprising given the quality of this channel.. I have been a regular visitor of this channel.. Pls be careful next time.. Sometimes it's really annoying
It's something to increase viewer's engagement. 10 me se 3 log bhi ye point out karne aayenge. Toh comments badhenge. Comments badhenge toh video ki reach bhi. 🤷
One of the most important videos we need to bug our government with. Thanks for producing and sharing it. Our RTOs are so corrupt that they think it's their right to take bribe: My story of Yashwanthour Bengaluru RTO: when I had to sell of my car after 3 years of use it couldn't be sold immediately due to some kind of penalty which I had to pay. I could clearly see it online and the amount was also shown after putting my car's details in the portal. I took the receipt of it to the Yashwanthpur RTO where the car was registered. Aur bhaisahab, in logo ne muze ek window se dusre window din bhar ghuma diya. Mai unse bol rha ki online Dikha rha ye case number hai utne ka chalaan hai pese lelo lekin NAHI in home register me case number match krna hai. Aur ye karate krte inhone 5 Baja diye aur bole ab payment nhi hoga Kal ana aur Kal phir se register check hoga aur officer ke sign honge. Phir Inka hi ek adami bola 500 Rs do me abhi payment krwa Dunga. Next thing you might have guessed which I had to do. My fine was only around 250 rupees.
You're bang on! The responsibility lies with the state, and they have conveniently passed the buck on to the drivers. Another major problem in India is the lack of road markings and signs. And no one knows the rules of a roundabout (known as 'circle' in India). When I did my driving test in Australia, I really understood the responsibility that goes with being at the wheel of a one tonne killing machine.
@@Rosilelilele completely agree bro i am pointing out the same errors as in this video poor bridge infrastructure. speeding on the road which is not meant to be for speeding. people gathered and none of gave attention to the incoming traffic all the things came together for a perfect mishap.
0:50 That's why i respect My father a lot Because he always tells me how to be safe on road and how to achieve maximum safety while driving on road He taught me that even if distance is short never break traffic signals and use helmet for everytime i ride on road and also keep a regular check on indicators and instrument cluster And even though i use helmet on my non registeration speed limited ev (top speed 30 kmph) i see my friends using their scooties without helmets
How many are here because Abhijit Mitra Iyer talked about this channel and this video in The Jaipul Dialogue channel today ? Excellent video. Thank you.
I remember during my car driving test, my driving school trainer had brought their car where we have two sets of clutch, break and accelerator on each side. I was just controlling the steering wheel while he was controlling the gear, accelerator and breaks. I was shocked to see that this is how they take test.
Things govt must do for 99.99% road safety. 1. License only after 3 months mandatory tough drive training. 2. Only low beam mandatory with 180⁰ horizontal visibility. 3. 360⁰ dash cam in every vehicles mandatory. 4. 4+ start with airbags and auto braking & ABS mandatory. 5. Strict speed limit with distance between vehicles mandatory.
I made my 2 wheeler license myself, without any agent's help. Believe me, I never had faced such humiliation in my life. The RTO officers were not at all interested to see my form or answer my questions without the name of any agent on top of it. Agents were going in and out of the que and their works were done easily but I was standing there like qutub minar. Luckily when I pushed through and one officer saw my form and noticed my "Background" he helped me with the process. Still it was not easy. One officer even said to me "Khud se karoge to aysa hi hoga. Khudse kyun karte ho?"
i must say, your RU-vid channel is truly outstanding! The content you create is both informative and engaging. I love how you explain complex topics in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Your videos are well-produced and visually appealing. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see more from your channel!" "Believe me, you are the first RU-vidr whose channel I am subscribing to"
I gave LL test, but not driving. I paid in total of 2000 to get my license. Mera both 2 and 4 wheeler ka hai😅 But I do care about the rules for road safety!
@@tapoprasadjena3139line lagi rehti hai bhai lambi aur liscene ka waiting period bhi kaafi bada dete hai RTO wale if you are applying for free, that's how corrupt RTO employees are, and most of those employees are even connected with agents (dalaals) sitting just outside their own RTO offices.
@@warmfishsalad jhuth hain line hoti hain agreed it takes half a day and you can find that much time no one is that busy who cant give that bare minimum to get a learner license on the same day
All are corrupted, they don't want you to drive and even if you drive they would point out few mistakes and ask to re do it. Their main motive is to earn some extra money sideways... I accept even I was involved in this small corruption, it's easy because they allow dallas in the office 🙂
Bhai...Maine Bina test diye licence mil Gaya mujhe...woh b kaal 1700 rupaiya mein😂 I have almost zero idea about driving a 4wheeler...still got the licence for 2w n 4w😂😂😂😂
Alhamdulillah i made my license on my very first try.. Both 2 wheeler and car together.. First because of my mothers prayers and second because I used to be a delivery boy for 3/4 years and that enhanced my driving abilities greatly
As a bike rider and car driver who drives regularly, I can say that it really is a frustrating experience to drive, especially in metro cities like Kolkata and mostly Bengaluru. Using high beams at night improperly is a major issue. Also, pedestrians need to be disciplined as well, because if anything happens to them, its always the driver's fault, regardless what actually happens.
Nice video! In some RTOs it is practically impossible to get a DL, without bribing. No matter whether you are a responsible citizen or not and want to appear for a test. I have my personal experience. I tried all the way to get a two wheeler license without having any agent. But it is impossible. The don't do anything until you provide a bribe. I used to go to RTO everyday, taking leave from office. Used to stand in the queue for hours. But they don't even look into your file. The office is full of agents. The agents literally sit in the chair of the officers. It's a mess! Now when I drive in USA, getting license here was pretty much straight forward. Most of the people follow traffic rules. I always wish if we could implement something like this in my country.
Recently one of my dumb friend got his license 😂 my brother's dad has contacts in RTO so my friend first asked me to help him in answering the questions in the live online exam but i denied and my brother helped him achieve passing marks and we told him to atleast attempt one question by himself and he couldn't even get that right😂 after all he got license without knowing why traffic signs and even after two months he doesn't understand what is left right what is U-turn 😂 this fact irritates me but i still have him as a friend because of the respect he gives me!
The same has happened with me as well. I hired an agent to fill my application form, NOT for the licence because I wanted to EARN the licence and not to GET it by money. I live in Gujarat and for the learning licence in 2018, you need to score 11 out of 15 questions at the RTO office. I got all of them correct as I was well aware and curious to know about all the traffic signs and rules. I got trained by my father for the "ROAD TEST" before going for the learning test. I'm quoting "ROAD TEST" because there will be 0% of the road/highway included in the name of the "ROAD TEST". Name it DRIVING TEST IN CLOSED ENVIRONMENT. So, after a month, I went to the RTO by my car with the agent who filled my form and there were some other guys with me too. I was in the queue and the agent asked me if I want to skip the test and get a licence by giving 500 rupees. I didn't even think twice to reject that offer. But, the RTO office at that time was an abandoned govt. office and I was told to complete the perimeter for the "ROAD TEST". That course had a steep uphill and a downhill as the office building was a bit lower into the ground (I hope I could explain the scenario). Firstly, I asked some local guys for their bike and passed the 2 wheeler test by just driving the perimeter of the building. Honestly, at that time, I had 3 years of 2 wheeler experience so I passed it. After some time, my name got called out for the 4 wheeler test, an inspector with some papers opened the car door and sat in the co-driver seat and told me to go for the "ROAD TEST". I obeyed all the orders and later that day, I got an SMS that I have passed the driving test and my licence number will be so and so. But honestly, I wasn't satisfied with the test. Now, our district has a new RTO office with all kinds of testing facilities for both 2 and 4 wheeler cars. The tests are a bit stricter as the drivers are trained for city and highways and the tests are for the slow speed precision. I am a 5 year experienced driver so I'm legally allowed to train anyone. So I trained a guy. I trained him with all of my experience and gave him all the basic training with some advanced training like hill hold, heel-toe downshifting, peddle training and much more. He told me about his test experience that the test was too tough and couldn't pass the test in the first attempt. In short, the standards are getting stricter but there's a long way to go.
Well said, I have appeared driving test for the first time, I have expected the test is harder but completed the track in 5min in first gear 😂😂😂 . I have expected a challenging one but the RTO test mechanism must be revised to challenge our drivers
I recently acquired my 4 wheelers licence in Bengaluru and I could see more than 50% people who couldn't clear at the first attempt. I was happy to get a good trainer so I could pass it with flying numbers. One thing which needs to be implemented that, there should be compulsory theoretical class to educated them about the lane markings, proper use of sign signals and sign boards even in regional language. Then people can bring discipline in their driving. Otherwise this loophole can never be filled.
At the age of 18 I have applied for the DL on my own and few years ago I had to go to the RTO to get a duplicate licence as I had lost it. (This was in Thane RTO) Both experiences were very bad. I had to wait in line to submit my forms, whereas the agents walk right inside the office and submit their papers to the officer, which increases the wait time for people like me. Honestly, not worth the hassle. I was a student so didn't want to spend any extra money.
Agree with almost all the points discussed in this video. I am staying abroad for more than a decade and got my licence after rigorous test. I failed only once when I could not manoeuvre the car properly while being tested for reverse parking. In the second attempt I was through. There after no traffic offences or accidents. Thank God. Come to India. I tried getting my licence legally (although I can drive flawlessly) but was made to run endlessly to RTO. Then finally chose plan B and got through with legal and valid licence. Well you must have guessed right.
You can hire someone to drive the car on the day of test in my local RTO😂 and it's like only ₹200 they will provide the car and they will also drive for you, you just gotta sit in the car for 3 mints
Really...!!! like they'll drive for you and you just have to sit in the passenger seat.😆😆...What are you getting the licence for? Licensed Passenger? 😆
Excellent Video. I want to tell my story with RTO Gwalior ( MP ). Recently I turned 18 and got my own 2 wheeler. I'm idealist in terms of traffic perception. As you said, I applied for Learner Lc. online and after a month of learning and practicing I applied for Full License. I was shocked when I was not even called for Driving Test (Which I prepared for a lot by watching YT videos). After 15 days of application I collected my DL from office & no Driving test happened. I was kind of offended how openly RTO is breaking basic laws. I called for this on Twitter & CM helpline reported this corruption, it's been 8 month, seems no action taken yet. 😭 That's why I stopped wondering why my City is filled with imbecile drivers.
Much needed video. Kudos. We Indians absolutely need to solve our driving. The way to becoming a developed country is to have world class, efficient transit. In order for that to happen, driving has to meet international standards. my two cents : 1. Currently if you can manuever a car, you get a license. 2. There is a serious dearth of marking and road signs in India, and the existing ones are casually broken by drivers. That creates a death spiral, the municipal corporations don't take liabilities for road markings seriously and when they do drivers violate them without consequence.
For past 2 years 4 wheeler driving tests has become very difficult, because most of the transport authority have changed their test course, by including different sensors and cameras, most of my friends failed their test for making very negligible mistakes ( by the i am from Delhi, i don't know about other cities test course)
I'm glad to say I've gotten my license fully legally, but the tests were really a joke. I went forward on a slope, reversed back and then did the "8". That's it. And for a bike, I just had to do a loop. This was in Pune, Maharashtra. And yes, I am in the mere 8% of the idealist drivers and riders.
I did a tight 8 through a very narrow pathway for bike. Then a reverse circle for car. Both were hard. For car reverse 8 was the norm but the master was satisfied with reverse 0 itself. Also, yea I was among the minority who got the test done fully legally
Same for me and it's the same RTO whose photo has been shown in this video. (Rourkela RTO). For me I had to give a 20 Question CBT to get my learner's licence. After that for the test, I had to climb a 20ish degree ramp, stop in between and again climb without tumbling down. After that the same 8 shaped track but we also need to drive backward to the starting position within 180 seconds. If we bump the boundaries..we are immediately disqualified. I successfully passed the test on the first try. What's funny and concerning at the same time was that very experienced drivers who professionally drive on these roads are falling for their test because they easily bump into boundaries. Mostly because these people open doors, look outside and reverse instead of actually looking back from the driver's seat .When I passed the test, everyone was looking at me like I was some prodigy and it was one of the rarest moments when my Dad was proud of me. So yeah...😆
Also I later came to know that, that day was one of the rarest days when full protocol of driving test was followed because some very senior management person came to check how the test was being conducted. The person who was evaluating my test was that "Senior management person (Some RTO Inspector)" herself. Fortunately or unfortunately idk, She was the one who gave me a pass. So I got my validation in the most authentic way possible.
I am from Himachal and I remember taking my driving test 13 years ago. I was supposed to take a reverse U turn on a steep inclination, brake in the middle and resume again. If the engine turns off, you are disqualified. I passed in the first attempt thankfully. Now when I see other stupid drivers around me, I feel the difficulty level was not at all worth it. Whats the point of all the effort when everyone around gets a license just by paying 2k.
I got my license through a bribe. But I was always a car enthusiast so took keen interest in learning to drive the proper way. I still have a car with no back camera and learnt parallel parking etc on my own. But I agree most people don’t make an effort to become better drivers.
In my life, I have NEVER met a person who made the license the correct way, Only i was the only who made the learner license after passing test of only 10 questions, then gave the car test in the RTO
In kanpur there was alot of agent... But now everyone has gone... Due to new dm ... I got my licence without paying any money and gave all the test ... And in kanpur there is very narrow circle that is very hard for new driver to drive... I hope everyone should follow these steps... And they also do MCQ test before pratical test...
A very well made video of a very shameful situation. I took the license test the "long and hard" way. Written test first. Upon passing , a Learners for 6mos. Then a full fledged "H" driving test with a road test, and the 8 test for the two wheeler. Didn't bribe ANYONE!!! It's sad that things have deteriorated.
You raised a valid point, instead of improving drivers behaviours on road through strict licence process, government wants to increase cars safety which is making many cars out of budget for common people. Government wants a quick and easy fix rather than taking onus.
You are absolutely right. My friend doesn't know the car driving, but he got his licence. After getting the licence, he learnt how to drive. This is the situation in India.
Since I am following you very closely, thank you for re-embracing this issue. I am from Ahmedabad and but lives in pune.. what I have observed is that that the behaviourial of mine changes with the change in city for driving.. I will be honest, in pune I drive with calm and driving efficiency of 95%. While being back in Ahmedabad makes me angry a lot initially then me also starts driving with lack of efficiency. Here efficiency means my driving obedience.Because in Pune roughly i guess 85% people drives decently while in Ahmedabad barely like 6-8 % drives decently.
I have honestly earned my driving licence abiding to the rules and giving proper tests, thanks to bhubaneswar RTO. Honestly on the day that I gave exam ,(4 wheeler), a lot of people were marked as fail as they were not able to complete the required round/cuts.
My first car driving licence was with proper learning and giving the test. Even though I passed the test, I had to go again because my uncle did not lend the car to the RTO for another person to give the test. I have a driving licence from the UK also. I had a very tough time giving the test. I had to drive for 45 min on the road every time and I passed out only after the 4th time. But trust me, I learnt a lot and could drive in the entire UK confidently. When I returned back to India, I understood how bad driving is in India. People here don't care about other road users and will engage in a fight even when they are at fault.
We want more people like you to take stand for real life problems and spread awareness among people. Honestly, I've completely no hopes from our extremely terrible government employees, I think more people like you should use platforms like RU-vid and pressurise government to replace these fu*kin rascals with men qho actually work.
In our city it is not possible to get a licence without going through an agent because if you don't pay these people money they will directly fail you, it was a real shame when the RTO forced me to donate blood if I want to pass the test because they wanted to show the numbers to the government
I just got my license and I hadnt realized how many people dont know when and where to use high beams. Im constanly blinded while going through city traffic man.
I pay 4000 thousand, but I gave online test, not driving test, but after some time a learn most of the rules of the road .....now I became a smart driver.
It was a different experiance for me,I failed the road driving test for 4 wheeler as I had forgotten to wear seat belt the first time🙄,I had to appear again the test was straightforward tho,give proper signals start the car,change gears till 5 and drive till officers asks you to stop,give proper stopping signal before hand and bring the vehicle to halt🙂(Trivandrum RTO)
👍👍 99.99% drivers i met daily on roads do not use indicators to turn. So one can understand how unsafe the roads are. Lane change no one even care. This is a very basic thing but very crucial. I think the car dealership should also play important role in these basic rules knowledge to car buyers as licence system will take time to improve.
my cousins and sister got the DL without even reaching the RTO. They still don't know how to drive properly. That explains corruption of our RTO's and negligence and ignorance of my family.
The problem is also that RTO test are actually not good at all. They dont really test you at all. The test and the long procedure also make people take the shortcut by paying bribery.
Thing is, even if you want to get it done legally, they keep ignoring and delaying and giving excuses until you become frustrated and force you to pay them eventually. Without that, they won’t give you the license. They simply keep harassing you. This is my first hand experience that I’m sharing.
I went through a driving school and all the driving schools in my area had an "understanding " with the RTO so we just had to loop once around the office. Atleast our driving school was quite strict they took us to the test only after we learned properly. My friend went to a different driving class and they would take you on the first day itself if you paid 2000 extra.
I am from a small town in Odisha and what annoys me the most is people just don't use indicator here. Lot of accidents happen for this reason but no one seems to realise the cause.
I think not being expert in driving is not a major cause of accidents, but being a seasoned driver and driving recklessly or in an overconfident manner is more likely to lead to accidents.
I had tried to get the license without paying, but I don't get much respect from RTO, their behavior is very bad, then I paid ₹ 5000 to a broker and got my license done there at the RTO.
We need to spread more awareness on this issue. It is very unfortunate that many so called social medai influencers and RU-vidrs with high Subscriber don't make content on this issue or such other issues. This issue is directly related to lives of people. But who care.
As someone who's lived in India for 33 years, and recently moved to the UK to clear their driving test, I can tell how vastly different the quality of driving is between these two countries. In the UK the traffic rules system is extremely well thought out and superbly implemented with their almost homogeneous road network. No matter which part of the UK you drive in, you will see road signs and road markings looking identical. That's where India's primary problem is. Even if you manage to ensure very high standards of driving tests and manage to eliminate corruption and a lack of knowledge among the drivers, you still need the aforementioned homogenised infrastructure and road system to be able to bring the rules into practice. And unfortunately I don't see that changing overnight.
Biggest reason for being 4th worst in driving is corruption. I couldn't get my license renewed after being a driver (zero accidents) for 20 years. They simply couldn't find my driver record. I had to get an agent and then also it took them 2 months to get it done.
The video title is bang on! I don't even have to watch the full video but I am going to anyways. It's the hard truth that the government wants to keep a blind eye as the money chain help them too.
