No Data Produced To Show Road Accidents Increase Due To LMV License Holders Driving Light Transport Vehicles : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that there is no data to support the claim that road accidents increase due to LMV license holders driving light transport vehicles. The case involved a challenge to the requirement for a separate endorsement for LMV license holders to drive transport vehicles. The court found that there was no empirical evidence to suggest that such drivers pose a higher risk of accidents. This decision supports the earlier ruling that LMV license holders can drive transport vehicles with an unladen weight of less than 7500 kg without additional endorsements. The ruling aims to simplify licensing requirements and support drivers’ livelihoods.
