Learners License in Assam

Driving is a highly useful skill. It's very important to learn how to drive a vehicle. An amateur driver may not be able to follow the strict traffic rules. A learner's license is for those who are learning to drive so that they are protected in case of minor mishaps. It also emphasizes the importance of road safety and teaches traffic rules to individuals even before they start driving independently. It is a strict traffic rule that a person who is learning to drive should have a valid Learner's License (LLR) in order to be able to drive on public roads. Such a learner should compulsorily have a trained instructor in the vehicle.
