The decision will go into effect from September, according to a notice of the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority or BRTA. The driving licence has also been made mandatory for the registration of the motorcycle. “A seller must ensure that a customer has a minimum trainee driving licence during motorcycle sale for road safety,” the BRTA said. But the process usually takes a long time, sometimes a year, to complete, creating scope for brokers to take advantage of the situation. The process is not hassle-free and the brokers in league with some dishonest BRTA officials provide the driving licence faster in return for money.
