The first Driving Training Centre (DTC) of the Divisional Transport Department will start operating in the district from January 16. Here the driving test of the applicants will be conducted in a state-of-the-art manner. Every moment of driving activity will be recorded from 108 rooms.
The applicant will also have to pass the simulator test. The applicant will pass or fail the test only after observing the simulator and camera recordings. This will stop cheating in driving tests. It is claimed that this will also reduce road accidents.
What was the arrangement till now?
Till now, driving tests were conducted manually in the divisional transport office. In the name of taking the test, only a formality is done. Due to this, even those people who do not know how to drive, pass the test. This is leading to an increase in road accidents.
In Ghaziabad, on an average 225 people undergo manual driving test every day. The department has built a state-of-the-art DTC for driving tests. The work of the DTC has been completed. 108 cameras have been installed in the DTC. The responsibility of operating the centre has been given to a private agency.
Every activity of the driver will be monitored
The test will be conducted under the supervision of the agency. However, the officials will be responsible for passing or failing the test. Every activity of the driver while driving will be recorded on video.
The applicant should be aware of all the traffic rules along with driving. Only if he is aware of every rule along with driving, he will pass the test. This will completely stop the fraud in testing.
The army of brokers will be banned
A large number of brokers sit outside the divisional transport office to help applicants pass the driving test. The brokers claim to help applicants pass the test without even taking the test. In return, they demand money as per their wish.
After the start of DTC, the number of brokers outside the office will be reduced. The video record of 108 cameras will be kept safe at the center. It can be checked anytime in the future.
There will be 50 percent less tests
At present, more than 5000 people are tested every month but the number of people taking tests in DTC will be reduced by 50 percent. Because every person will be tested as per the rules.
This may increase the problem of waiting. People will get a long date for the test. However, officials claim that there will be no problem of waiting.
What is a simulator?
The simulator is a replica of a real car. It has a steering wheel, gears, brakes, pedals, indicators and switches and speed control. The simulator is operated by hardware and software. It can also be called a laboratory to study driving behavior. Eco-driving training can also be provided through this.
