NASHIK: The Nashik RTO has sent a proposal to its head office in Mumbai for setting up an intelligent driving test track on its premises. This automated track will bring transparency in issuing driving licenses to applicants of two-wheelers and four-wheelers.
Deputy RTO Vasudev Bhagat said that the proposed track would be on lines with the one that is under operation in Pune since the last few years.
“The automated driving test track will bring transparency in the process of issuing permanent driving license. Different agencies are involved in setting up the concerned track and our office is following up the issue with them,” said Bhagat.
Every day close to 100 applicants appear for the driving license test at the Nashik RTO on the regular eight-shaped track.
Officials, however, said that the automated track have sensors and cameras along it to catch the mistakes made by the applicants while giving the test. RTO inspectors would observe the driving of the applicant from a cabin to check the mistakes made by the applicant.
RTO officials said that it would not just be driving on the track and giving indicators during turns but, in fact, the new driving system will also check the driving skills of the applicant by making him/her drive in reverse, parking the vehicle properly and also stopping the vehicle on the slope and then driving it forward without letting the vehicle roll back.
Officials said that the Nashik RTO has a huge space for setting up the intelligent driving test track.
This will also do away with the practice of letting off applicants with minor mistakes for issuing them the driving license or letting the applicants take assistance of the driving teacher inside the vehicle.
Nashik RTO also has an automatic vehicle inspection and certification centre.
