But here’s the catch: it’s not for everyone. Heavy vehicle drivers and professional drivers (think buses, trucks, taxis) still have to renew every 2 or 5 years. Why the difference? Because safety on the road matters more than convenience; especially when you’re hauling goods or passengers. The government says this isn’t official yet; they still need to change the law. So don’t stop renewing your licence just yet. But if you drive a regular car or two-wheeler, this could mean one less chore every five years. Smart move? Maybe. But don’t forget; your licence isn’t just a card. It’s proof you’re still road-safe. And that’s something no extension can replace.
