Riding a bike on a traffic-less road can be fun. So can cruising along a picturesque route in your car. Some people love driving while some look at it as a means to an end: to commute to work. Whichever category you may belong to, one thing is clear—driving requires focus and skill. Not everyone can or is allowed to ride a bike or drive a car. You need a license for it. This Driving License (DL) is issued by a Regional Transport Office. For example, in Hajipur it is issued by the Hajipur RTO or the applicable designated license issuing authority of the region.
