Why Link Aadhaar to Driving Licence?

To prevent the malpractices caused because of the possession of multiple driving licences, the Aadhaar number and the driver's licence are linked. Every individual is allowed to possess a single driving licence on his/her name, and if someone has more than that, it is illegal, as per the Indian road transportation legislation. Aadhar-linked driving licences help the permitted officials to access and confirm the licence information for every vehicle in the nation with the use of the Aadhar-based common framework. It helps monitor anti-corruption activities and fosters transparency.

Benefits of linking Aadhaar with DL

There are several benefits of linking your Aadhaar card to your driving licence. First off, linking your Aadhaar to your driving licence prevents fake licences being in circulation and consequently in use. Since your Aadhaar has your biometrics logged against your ID, you cannot have two licences for the same person, neither can you obtain one without an Aadhaar card anymore. As a result, you can be certain that the traffic moving around and about you has trained and licenced drivers behind the vehicle’s wheels and handlebars. Fake licences have also been behind a number of hit and run cases in addition to fake citizenship and identification at hotels and bars.

 

Secondly, linking your Aadhaar to your driving licence makes sure that you cannot just commit a hit and run on the go. At the same time, since any person can be tracked through their biometrics, there are very slim chances that someone will take traffic offences lightly.

 

What’s more, you cannot even run away from fines that you might have incurred due to violation of traffic rules. Earlier, people would just obtain a new licence in case their fines were long overdue or if the fine amount was too high. With all your IDs and PAN card linked to your Aadhaar, it is very improbable that you will be able to wipe off that speeding ticket off your driver alias.
