Surat: After a long wait, the advanced AI-powered driving test track at Surat RTO is set to become operational from Monday, June 15.

Before the launch, around 500 two-wheeler and car driving tests have been conducted on the track as part of trial runs. However, in the initial phase, only a limited number of tests will be carried out each day to ensure that applicants do not face delays due to any technical glitches.

Initially, 25 two-wheeler tests and 20 car tests will be conducted daily on the new track. Appointments already booked by other applicants will be rescheduled to the following week. The number of appointments will be increased gradually in a phased manner.

The new AI-enabled track is expected to provide significant relief to two-wheeler licence applicants. Currently, only one track is available for two-wheeler driving tests, resulting in a waiting period of nearly two months. The new facility has two separate tracks for two-wheelers, which is expected to reduce waiting times considerably.

Another key feature of the new system is that driving tests will be conducted strictly on the date of the applicant’s appointment. Tests will not be allowed a day before or after the scheduled date. If an applicant misses the allotted date, a fresh appointment will have to be booked.

Digital display boards have also been installed along the track to provide instant results. As soon as the test is completed, applicants will be able to see whether they have passed or failed.

Applicants can watch driving test videos by scanning a QR code

Applicants appearing for two-wheeler or car driving tests will be required to watch videos demonstrating the complete driving test procedure by scanning a QR code installed at the RTO driving test track.

The initiative is aimed at helping applicants understand the test process in advance and prepare themselves better before taking the driving test. DeshGujarat
