Benefits of the new bill

Integrated approach: Liability is being fixed at every stage making everyone equally responsible to ensure road safety

Digitization: It will make it difficult to obtain bogus driving licenses as it will be linked with Adhaar and e-registration of vehicles will discourage theft and encourage portability in terms of transfer of vehicle registration from one state to another.

Rule bound: When implemented, obtaining a driving license without a test would be impossible for anyone, including politicians.

Road safety: Specifically targeting traffic offenders, stringent penal provisions and identifying priority areas would improve road safety.
