The traffic police will use technology to take action against the person driving the vehicle with a fake license.
During a program on Monday, the Department of Transport Management developed a mobile app to control the use of fake driver's licenses and handed it over to the Metropolitan Traffic Police.
Director-General of the Transport Management Department Namaraj Ghimire handed over the license verification mobile app to Chief of the Division Senior Superintendent of Police Umesh Raj Joshi.
Speaking on the occasion, Director General Ghimire said that the special QR code in the license, which is in a one-year probationary period, can be easily detected by the traffic police by scanning it through a mobile app.
He also said that there is a provision to revoke the license if there is a record of violating traffic rules more than five times during the one-year trial period.
Chief of the Division, SSP Joshi, said that the traffic police can immediately verify the license through the on-the-spot mobile app as there is no technology for license verification.
He emphasized the need to make the license check system easy, simple and effective by using advanced technology as the risk of accidents would also increase while driving with fake licenses.
He expressed the belief that if some people drive with fake licenses, such persons will not be able to escape from the legal scope and the use of fake licenses will also be controlled.
How does App work?
The trial license issued by the Department of Transportation Management is verified through a special type of mobile app. The QR in the license is scanned through this app and the license is verified.
They will be able to verify the on-the-spot license during the check by installing it on the mobiles of the traffic police working in the valley. The full details of the license can be obtained by scanning the QR in this app.
