Kiran Bedi On Lucknow Hit-and-Run: 'India Must Fix Its Broken Driving Licence System'
Reacting to the Lucknow hit-and-run that killed a child, former IPS officer Kiran Bedi said the root of recurring accidents lies in India's outdated and easily bypassed driving-licence system. Speaking to NDTV, she questioned how underage or untrained drivers obtain licences, stressing that tests remain subjective, non-technical, and far from global standards. Bedi said modernising licence procedures and enforcing rigorous, technology-driven testing is essential to prevent such tragedies.
