My designation in work permit is insurance adviser/executive.If I am not eligible, kindly let me know the reason and if it’s due to my designation, please explain which designations are allowed.Name withheld Answer: You meet all the requirements to apply for a driving licence but as to whether you get one will depend on your medical condition and passing the driving test. When it comes to acquiring a driving licence, designation only plays a role if the applicant doesn’t meet some of the requirements and hence seeks exemption which is granted by the Director-General of the Traffic Department.Kindly send your queries to [email protected] or [email protected]Kindly go through our archives and refrain from sending repeated questions
