Noida Transport Commissioner Considers Extra Time For Women, Elderly In Driving Tests

In a move aimed at making driving tests more accessible, the newly appointed Transport Commissioner, Kinjal Singh, has assured that an administrative decision will be taken to allow women and elderly applicants extra time to complete their driving tests in Noida.

On her first visit to the district, Singh inspected the driving test and vehicle scrapping centres, observing the operations and discussing challenges faced by women and senior citizens. Currently, applicants must pass four driving tests in just three and a quarter minutes, a short duration that often proves difficult due to nervousness or time constraints.

She emphasised that women appearing for the driving test should not face any difficulties, and the centre in charge, Yograj Singh, assured that female applicants would be treated courteously.

Singh also visited the Transport Department’s stall at the UP International Trade Show 2025. She was accompanied by Additional Transport Commissioner Mayank Jyoti, RTO Pramod Kumar Singh, ARTO Dr Siyaram Verma, and other officials.
