I think, Modi’s Ministry of Transport should revise the rules (Even though there are rules in place) but important to make sure that they literally impose on every citizen of gujarat. They have to be tough even though people dont like it. ultimately it is good for everybody. this is very much required if we want to prompte gujarat as tourism becos foreigners are afraid of coming there & driving there as they dont know how to drive. If any american wants to go to europe he doesn’t need to learn driving and vice versa. only Govt can do this. they have to impose the strict rules..
