If you wish to drive a vehicle overseas, then you must first acquire an International Driving Licence. Though the Driving Licence issued by the Indian Government is valid in many countries but is not approved by all. To get an IDL, you can visit the nearest RTO and submit the required information. The RTO will ask for some documents like:

  • Filled and signed application Form 4 for an IDL.

Getting a Driving Licence is as important as is getting an insurance policy for a vehicle. Driving a vehicle on the road without both these documents can lead to cancellation of driving licence. One should take care of some of these rules to avoid mistakes and hence fines.

  • Abide by traffic rules.
  • Wear seat belts.
  • Do not rush or break the signals.
  • Avoid drinking and driving.

 

If you are desperate to get a permanent driving licence as fast as possible, then keep the following things in mind:

  • You should be alert and confident. But avoid being over-confident while appearing for the driving test.
  • Abstain from alcohol while driving and giving the test. 
  • Be sure of the traffic signals carefully. 
  • Always use side mirrors and indicators.
  • Press the gears smoothly and make sure the vehicle does not turn off in the middle of the test when driving. 
  • Be equipped enough to make an imaginary ‘8’ with the tires.
