The Road Transport and Highways Ministry has mulled a draft proposal to make new driving licences out of polycarbonate cards with high-security QR codes instead to laminated cards that are currently in use, reports New Indian Express.
When implemented, this would make proving authenticity easier for motorists as well as traffic police for apprehending offenders. Police could access the details of the commuters stored in the central database just by scanning the QR code.
It is also reported that the Motor Vehicles department is going to offer a centralised system for printing licences, in a bid to make driving licences more modern as well as secure. This was decided after making necessary changes to the Motor Vehicles Act.
The states are believed to be in agreement with the proposals, and the modern licences will be unveiled soon, says Delhi Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
