The Karachi Traffic Police have initiated a strict enforcement campaign targeting drivers without valid licenses. This effort aims to enhance road safety and reduce accidents. Under the new policy, vehicles being driven without a proper license will be impounded, and drivers will be fined.
The fines are as follows:
- Motorcycles: Rs. 1,000
- Public service vehicles (PSVs) and light transport vehicles (LTVs): Rs. 2,000
- Cars and Jeeps: Rs. 1,500
- Heavy transport vehicles: Rs. 2,500
The traffic police have made it clear that vehicles can only be released after being impounded if the driver possesses a valid learner’s or full driving license. These measures are designed to increase road safety and reduce incidents involving unlicensed drivers in Karachi.
The public is being urged to ensure they have the appropriate driving license before operating any vehicle, as the authorities will rigorously enforce these regulations.
Additionally, the Sindh government has announced a new policy regarding vehicle number plates. Starting April 3, 2025, private vehicles will be required to display white number plates featuring the Sindh Ajrak design, while commercial vehicles will use yellow number plates. This change is part of an effort to improve vehicle identification and safety.
