  1. Former Kerala Transport Minister K B Ganesh Kumar is under the scanner over his driving licence. The Transport Department has decided to strip the legally incorrect 'MLA' title from his card.

  7. Traffic rules are getting much tougher in Kerala! The MVD has announced that riding without a helmet will now lead to a 3-month driving licence suspension and mandatory safety classes. Suspensions go up to a year for more serious offences. Read the full list of new penalties here. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/k #KeralaMVD #TrafficRules #RoadSafety #KeralaNews #DrivingLicence

  8. RE: chaos.social/@Zwiebeltuete/116

    #Germany wants to make getting a #drivingLicence cheaper and easier - currently DE has thorough #DriverEducation, with required classroom theory lessons, more complex theory exam than in UK and compulsory special drives in particular conditions (such as at night, on motorway)

    New plans are closer to how its done in #UK and other #European nations (they also allow private practice on L plates which was previously verboten) and claim to "reduce bureaucracy and costs" on #DrivingSchools - but it seems quite rushed and sudden, and ironically many folk in UK are lobbying for our #driver training to be closer to German practice! (such as introducing the drives in special conditions)

    BTW Cost of learning to drive in UK is reaching equivalent of 3000€ for todays learners

  10. A while back an #environment activist on here (alas, their toot disappeared in timeline) was trying to work out how many people in UK regularly #drive - it is hard to get accurate data!

    There are about 34 million private #cars in UK of 42 million #vehicles including #vans, #lorries, #buses, #motorcyles and anything else that needs registration mark from #DVLA GB or #DVA NI

    About 43 million people in GB (excluding NI) hold a full #DrivingLicence - but not reliable data for number of drivers as these records include people who have died or emigrated!

    And some folk own more than one #vehicle, others have a licence but don't drive - I'd guess at figure for private car drivers being around 25-30 million, but levels of #motoring will vary wildly between regions

  12. This is the resulting #Court case - appears #driver did pull over 100m away and return to the scene of the #collision but its not clear when or how the authorities were able to identify him or whether he later handed himself in (he's not being separately charged with failing to stop, which would have happened if they had to look for him)

    The #cyclist has recovered from his #injuries

    Seems that #driver was also a bit of an #oldtimer and his health and #eyesight wasn't the best, he has since handed in his #DrivingLicence to DVLA.

    His son and daughter own a #RollsRoyce dealership across the border in #Essex, which is likely how he acquired this unusual vehicle..
