The City Traffic Police Lahore has provided clarification on the age requirements for obtaining various driving licenses in Punjab. To secure a motorcycle or motor car/jeep license, applicants must be at least 18 years old. However, the threshold rises to 21 years for an LTV license. For obtaining an HTV license, the minimum age requirement is 22 years, or alternatively, applicants must possess a Motor Car or LTV license that has been held for a minimum of three years.
Moreover, HTV applicants must meet specific prerequisites, such as possessing a valid license for a minimum of three years prior to applying for a learner permit.
In addition to these requirements, Punjab has established a Juvenile Driving Permit for teenagers aged between 16 and 18 years old. This permit enables eligible teens to operate motorcycles or scooters with engine capacities of up to 125cc, provided they adhere to certain conditions. To obtain this permit, applicants are required to present a NADRA Smart Card or B-Form, obtain written consent from a parent or guardian, and successfully pass both traffic-sign and practical road tests.
The use of helmets is mandatory, while authorities reserve the right to revoke the permit for serious or repeated violations. It is important to note that the juvenile permit does not alter the minimum age requirement for obtaining a standard motorcycle, car, or jeep license, which remains at 18 years old. Nevertheless, LTV and HTV applicants must fulfill the more stringent age and experience prerequisites.
