The closure of the driving track used to test the skills of aspirants for driving licences at Trimulgherry is forcing the applicants to go all the way to Nagole to take the test. The Trimulgherry track was damaged during the last monsoon. With the authorities not planning to restore the track the licence applicants at Khairatabad and Secunderabad too are forced to travel all the way to Nagole.

"It's been about a year that the track is left unused and there is nothing to show that a track existed here. Things became worse last year, when two women were injured taking a test," says a senior official.

On an average, 80 learning licence applications are received daily at the Trimulghery office.

Applicants point out that it would be easier if the track was revived, as it reduces time and distance.

Hello.

If you are planning to take a driving test why not read my book first.

It is the first one of its kind to be relaeased in Inida.

It can save your life if you follow its principles.

I agree that we need a driving track. However, I do believe the authorities must conduct the driving test on a normal road. The idea is to issue a licence after checking the drivers competency.

On a track you can check gear changes/braking and may be signals, but remember, it is only you on the track. Drivers need to drive competently under normal conditions on a road and that is the real test.

You wonder why most people do not have a clue on how to use a road?

Because they have been driving on open fields to learn and the test was also not "all reals".
