Gurgaon cops ask schools to get bus drivers trained
Taking a serious note of the poorly trained drivers running school buses in Gurgaon, the city traffic police has asked school authorities to get them trained from recognized driving schools.
THE SCHOOLS have been asked by the authorities to get their act in order by October 31. Recently, the Gurgaon Traffic police had launched a Road Safety Knowledge Centre in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki to train the drivers. The Commissioner of Police SS Deswal at the launch of this centre had urged the school authorities to ensure that drivers are trained and also receive certification after undergoing training on the simulator.
It is pertinent to mention that Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued strict instructions as far as plying of school buses is concerned. Allowing untrained drivers to run buses is a serious violation of rules, and according to the High Court directive, a bus driver must have five years of experience and a valid driving licence before being allowed to run a school bus. Drivers can obtain a proficiency certificate from the Road Safety Knowledge Centre as it accepted by the RTO, while issuing licenses.
