Know-It-All-In 30 Seconds
NCT of Delhi on December 27, 2017, Maruti Suzuki today opened fully Automated Driving Test Centres (ADTCs) at four locations in Delhi. The move is a part of the company’s CSR initiative to improve road safety, which will see eight more ADTCs coming up in the city at a total cost of Rs 20 crore. The Delhi government, in association with Maruti Suzuki, aims to make driving license issuance “more efficient, transparent, convenient and stringent” with the use of technology at these centres.
Where Are The Centres?
The centres at Mayur Vihar, Vishwas Nagar, Sarai Kale Khan and Shakur Basti are operational. The remaining facilities at Lado Sarai, Raja Garden, Hari Nagar, Burari, Loni, Rohini, Jharoda Kalan and Dwarka will be up and running by the end of the year.
So, How Does This Work?
The whole system is a first of its kind in the country and requires no manual intervention. People can book a time slot online for their test at the RTO, where they will be required to drive through a scientifically designed test track. The track for four-wheelers includes tests like parallel parking, upward gradient, forward-8, reverse-S and overtaking maneuvers.
