Following a crackdown by traffic police in Punjab targeting individuals driving without valid licenses, passing a driving test on the first attempt has become a priority for motorists.
Taking this initiative further, Lahore Traffic Police (LTP) has released a video offering tips for passing the driving license test to the public. In the video, a police official shares key insights on what to avoid during the test through simple steps.
The Guide
Before starting the test, ensure:
- Proper seat adjustment
- Fastening of seat belt
- Setting of side view mirrors
The most challenging aspect of the driving test is reversing, and to succeed in this, the official advises keeping the car on the passenger side. The officer explains, “If you reverse the car with it positioned on the driver’s side, it will collide with the cones.”

An advantage is given to candidates who make mistakes during the test. “If you encounter difficulty while reversing, you will be granted one opportunity to drive forward and then reverse again, positioning the car on the left side of the track,” the officer assures.
By adhering to these simple guidelines, passing the driving test in Punjab becomes achievable. Hence, it’s advisable to apply for your driving license, obtain it, and avoid hefty fines and legal consequences.
Online Registration
To facilitate the people, traffic police launched an online service for the people. The groundbreaking decision aims to simplify and streamline the licensing process, considering the surge in the number of people applying for licenses in the region.

People can renew their licenses through the online system. The candidates can renew their licenses for one, three, five, and ten years. Meanwhile, an international driving license will remain valid for three years.
The masses can download their local and international e-licenses easily, the announcement said, adding that these candidates would no longer have to take physical driving tests.
