Overview
- Rawalpindi traffic police started issuing juvenile motorcycle permits on Saturday as part of a new program to regulate underage riders.
- Authorities require parental consent and proof of identity such as a smart card or B‑Form before applicants can sit sign and road tests.
- Permits allow riding motorcycles or scooters up to 125cc, mandate helmet use, and will be granted on the spot to those who pass the tests.
- The permit carries an annual fee set between Rs500 and Rs1,000 and can be cancelled for serious or repeated traffic violations.
- Coverage differs on age limits — some reports say the scheme covers 16‑year‑olds while the traffic chief’s statement describes eligibility as 16 to 18 — a discrepancy that has not yet been reconciled.
