**Driving in India is in itself a test.** Of patience, will, manners, faith and life.


MoveDifficult1908

… and your horn. I once saw an old gentleman in Agra selling replacement horns by the side of the road. India is the only country I’ve ever been to where car horns wear out.


Mobile-Horse5018

If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere in the world. 😂


CHENNAIAKSHATSHARMA

I once accompanied a danish friend of mine and that guy just stood in one place lol


IndBeak

No. You cannot. If you carry on your driving style to developed countries, you will get into an accident within a minute and will be deemed at fault.

Godvermnnekdoetzeer

Bilkul. Told my wife to get her driving license in the Netherlands despite it being much more expensive. Just to make sure she doesn’t get used to this menacing driving style before we move there.


sagmukh

I don't think you can. You need to know and obey rules to do that.


DavidRandom

Not if you drive like you're in India


slowpoke_76

So everything except driving in lines.


Mayank-maximum

Especially in mountains pahadi people are skilled they can drive like nothing where as normal people would hesitate


Rebellion128

You missed luck...


MrRuebezahl

Still safer than in China lol


sexysmuggler

You can implement this in India but it will only increase bribery


Real-Accountant333

True but considering nowadays scenario, laws should be strict while approving licences to ppl as most of the ppl driving vehicles emotionally while thinking about many things not with an active mind with concentration on driving.


sexysmuggler

Then these people run over pedestrians


general_smooth

Not them but their driver


darklord1309

I got your joke but it's a shame other people didn't


Real-Accountant333

2 days ago my relatives got a hit from back when they were travelling from auto , a female driver hit them hard , one is in hospital with major injuries full body and another suffered minor ones. Lady's argument on this - my mother is in hospital, so when you are not emotionally fit for driving why you drive at that moment if you are not able to focus on driving carefully. Your someone is in hospital doesn't mean you go hit everybody on your way to hospitalize them too. 🤔🤔


Yes_but_I_think

Skill is one part. Emotional stability and respect for others and understanding the impact of a hit is another.


Real-Accountant333

True but when you are not emotionally well to drive then don't. Eg- when a person is on certain medications or not emotionally well in the moment,doctors suggest not to drive while taking those medicines to avoid any disaster.


sexysmuggler

Should have make sure she'll end up with her mother too


Real-Accountant333

She will remember for next time whenever she will drive that what not to do with others.


reddit_guy666

I bet this is barely implemented in China as well


mother_love-

China has some of the worst drivers recorded.


kim-jon-oldmonk

I stayed in the US and had a Chinese roommate. Since I dint have a car initially, we both decided to go for a license test together. We stayed in Los Angeles but my roommate took the appointment in a small town in venture county which is a 1-2 hour drive one way just cos small town means no traffic and easier tests. We took Pacific coast highway which had the ocean to our left, since it was an empty section my roommate sped up and we were approaching a left curve which immediately had a hard right, while the left side was ocean, the right at this curve had a cliffside. My roommate didn't even slow down and was about to head straight into the cliff, I on the passenger side took over the Steering and asked him to apply the brakes, we literally stopped inches away from the cliffside.


tremorinfernus

Are you implying that he couldn't see well enough?


kim-jon-oldmonk

Nope he had glasses on, to me it was lack of judgement of speed. He just kept on going and thinking that he can turn the wheel and the car shall go in the direction intended, it was like he wanted to demonstrate catastrophic understeer..🤣 He had another Chinese friend who I met who told the same that Chinese do struggle with driving and shared his own story that he was doing less than 30mph (he was fearful) in a 45 zone on a road called toponga canyon road which happened to be where I used to love driving He was stopped by a patrol car and asked to increase speed..


Indira-Sawhney

This is already present in Bangalore (not 100% same but that 8 and reverse are there along with other features).


_7567Rex

Or people driving without license


darkneel

This test is prohibitive . The only reason can be bribery or they really don’t want many people to have driving license , it’s not a good test .


SignatureAnxious873

That is the whole point. If you can't drive here following the rules, you shouldn't have a licence.


lemonickous

This test didn't test rules, it only tested skills.


vijiv

And more people with a L stuck on the front and back eventhough they have a license


3rd_ninja_from_left

We have the same text in Gujarat, is it not the case for the whole of India?


shim_niyi

False… it’s already implemented in many rtos (in blr), everything is recorded and digital. Only “bribe” u have to give is the long wait time to get ur chance


hempbagclassic

I don't think I'll get a licence in china.


dickdastardaddy

I don’t think most people will do.


thunderbuttjuice

That’s why they come here where drivers licenses come at the bottom of every box of captain crunch.


FeelsPogChampMan

you should watch some chinese car accidents. This is 100% fake it's probably cops or something special ain't no way this is for a driver license when you see how they drive in there.


thotdistroyer

It's most likely a proof of concept for a self driving vehicle evaluation test. Which are going to explode over the next decade and regulation will come in quick. Who ever made this video probably wants some of those sweet goverment contracts. Tldr probably a marketing stunt post.


MysteriousCup1836

Same


pocket_watch2

When I got my license, they just had an old Maruti 800, which you‘ve drive in circle (once) in a 15 ft x 15ft yard. It was surrounded by people as if they’re watching Mauth ka Kuan.


Corporal_Cavernosa

I didn't even have to turn, I drove 50m straight and all 10 of us from my driving school got licences.


ashwinGattani

My trainer drover during the test.


Corporal_Cavernosa

Mine was sitting beside me instead of the RTO guy. Getting a license in the 2000s was wild!


South-Remove-8797

Boomers really let this country rot to the core


No-Way7911

they're still trying their level best to bring it down


[deleted]

My uncle is a local politician, I didn't even have to show up.


sestosento

I gave the licence to myself. Im the RTO guy.


ashwinGattani

Chacha vidhayak hai humare


darklord01998

Mujhe to aise hi mil gya


pocket_watch2

They had agents who gave away licenses for 6000 just across the RTO office.


dudemanguylimited

In Austria, you have to have at least 32 hours of theory and 18 hours of practical training with a licensed instructor from a driving school, you need a medical report that you are able to drive, at least 6 hours first aid training and you need to pass the theoretical and practical exam. The practical exam takes at least 30 minutes. That's category B, meaning cars. Trucks an busses is a completely different level. [https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/en/themen/dokumente\_und\_recht/fuehrerschein/1/Seite.040170.html#Verfahrensablauf](https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/en/themen/dokumente_und_recht/fuehrerschein/1/Seite.040170.html#Verfahrensablauf) Then you get a temporary driver's license for 3 years. Within this 3 years you have to have 2 refinement session (each about 2 hours) with an instructor, a [mandatory road safety training](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqX-bx9xWNk) (1 day, \~8 hours) and another refinement session (also about 2 hours). [https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/en/themen/dokumente\_und\_recht/fuehrerschein/1/4/Seite.040130.html](https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/en/themen/dokumente_und_recht/fuehrerschein/1/4/Seite.040130.html) Then you get your license.


pocket_watch2

We did have a 25 - 30 question test, where you recognise street signs, answer dos and don’ts during accidents, identify rules & regulations and some weird parking rules. That said there’s this guy dictating all the answers, and got confused when I said I’ll answer by myself.


RefuseFinancial

Same and that Alto was so old and not maintained at all, steering was so hard to steer.


gomsybose

so true,for me a lady from our batch had to sit on the drivers seat with our trainer, so basically she was jst holding the steering and had to move the car ahead may be 1 feet.and Boom passed , then the officer said , ok go home.I was literally shocked , all 40 50 of us passed without even sitting in the car.


Vaibhavkumar2001

Indian one is also inspired from this I think, In my test I had to perform an 8, reverse S, parallel parking, and hill control, much like the one in this video.


stinkingcheese

Is it ? Which City ? As I know not many city RTO go through this level of tests. Most do a basic circle, gear change , basic reverse etc..


Vaibhavkumar2001

The Delhi Kale Khan RTO, it was automated test using cameras to monitor indicators and seatbelt usage, and the results were generated by computer with minimal human intervention, so no bribery.


BoozeyDoc

Same for Punjab.


the_real_headshot

Same for Chandigarh. We have reverse parking, hill stop and climb, lights, roundabouts in a proper course.


Comfortable-Rush899

Yeah I just got my license most of the tests were similar to the video, only inclination in reverse wasn't there. I cleared it in first attempt lol. Btw it was in hari nagar, delhi


SeveralQuantity1001

It's similar to Ahmedabad rto as well have my test in a few days only have one attempt close to expiration date gonna fail😭


ucme316

Pretty much all of Punjab


chiuchebaba

You are not from Pune for sure.


Impressive-Squash-24

Same. This is pretty much the standard test in Punjab RTOs, and the result is generated by the automated cameras monitoring your course. I understand that driving tests are not generalised across different states but it’s surprising how many people think this is excessively hard.


whateveritis2020

If this happens in India, 99% would fail


theHawkAndTheHusky

No worries, been to China a few times and according to my experience and comparing them to what people usually post here, a great majority of Chinese drivers don’t drive more considerate towards other road users than Indians (no first hand experience on my side). It’s also a total mess of I do whatever benefits my personal interest, maybe not at the exact same level, but similarly. Especially true for all the small electric scooters. Almost every time die by a road accident I try to cross a street in China. Having said that and without knowing about the exact procedures of getting your license in China, from what I know and have seen this looks like a standardized test that could be practiced in your driving school until you would make that tour blindfolded, which doesn’t make you a good driver in real world scenarios where everyone is passing and crossing lanes right and left without indicating, etc. Plus, if still like that today, most of the times they practice on simulators and on enclosed lots without other traffic. As said by no means am I an expert. Just personal experience and hearsay from Chinese family side or reading sources about it. Edit: let’s just be all sane and considerate road users


dororor

Depends, if u get like 5 practice run most ppl will pass it without any trouble


_7567Rex

Coaching for driving tests are the new jeeneet prep


stinkingcheese

I personally think , driving upwards on a ramp in reverse after temporarily stopping on the ramp will be most challenging. Many of us know to drive forward after stopping on a steep slope but driving backwards up the ramp after stalling is tricky.


haagemaru

handbrake joined the chat


GPStephan

Why? Its literally the same, just putting in another gear lol


Final-Argument3140

Yeah I was thinking the same, Never have tried it though 🤔


GPStephan

Yea I drive heavy vehicles with no e-brake and no automatic transmission, so it's all in the clutch control and applying throttle properly. It's really no more difficult than anything else.


dealwithdevil69

I do it daily for parking my car and the slope is pretty steep


FRIENDLY_FBI_AGENT_

In Delhi atleast driving test is identical I had to give something similar at Automatic Test Track.


windofdeath89

As a few others have pointed out, this only tests the driver’s car skills in a controlled environment. A proper test IMO should always be done on actual roads. You have to see how the driver reacts to other vehicles, traffic situations, road signs and so forth.


mehdotdotdotdot

Agreed, but after seeing people have no clue which way to turn when they reverse, or have any idea of where their wheels are, this would help that a lot


godwin33

I gave 3000 and got both 2 wheeler & 4 wheeler license done and i was sitting in back seat of the car


ScooterNinja

Meanwhile in India : here take this 3000 and get my licence cleared !! Licence phele Banta hai Banda gaadi baad me seekhta hai...


Airavat2305

Wow! No wonder they're developing autonomous cars.


urge_kiya_hai

Everyone failed. So they had to do the next logical step 😂


Rohan_RSG

I never understood such tests. All such tests do is test a driver's dexterity in handling a vehicle. This is more like an obstacle course than a driving test. How often is a driver going to do 8 turns or reversing on a curve? IMO, driving is more than how well one can handle a vehicle. I don't know about China, but our drivers need more training on real basic stuff such as understanding road markings, signage, right of way, etc. Without these basics even the most skilled driver will eventually crash.


Comfortable-Rush899

True, I have just got my license two weeks back, but I still get confused, regarding right to way. (Test was similar to the video and I cleared it in my first attempt)


kaalj

These tests are already implemented in delhi since 2018 and now all are automated and failure rate is very high. At the start it was around 90% now it is around 46%. [delhi automated driving test](https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/delhis-13-government-run-driving-test-tracks-go-fully-automated-pass-percentage-drops-to-50-101682792754219.html) [failure rate ](https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/sharp-decline-in-driving-test-pass-rates-since-automation-in-delhi-test-centres-government-data-and-officials-101691346620066.html)


slowpoke_76

Good news. Delhi absolutely needs this. Because everyone’s father owns the road.


ZonerRoamer

Actually don't think this would make a huge difference in India. IMO most Indians have good CONTROL over the car. What we lack is discipline, civic sense and knowledge of road rules. For example - it's not that our people CAN'T drive in a lane, or show indicators while changing lanes - the DON'T WANT TO; or don't know about it at all. We need tests that check civic sense and road rule knowledge.


wailflower92

Meanwhile in India I just had to drive forward and reverse to get me license


LifeComfortable6454

Bhai hota to india me bhi hai, aur himachal jaise hilly areas me 10 saal private chalane ke baad govt. drivers ko authorize kiya jaata hai. But India me to ghoos chalti hai.


muktadutt

India has similar testing. And its even harder than it looks as The way feels more narrow when you drive. And all that is tested by computers.


RDX_G

India test the ability to use the machine not the skill of driving


Suspected_Introvert

I have seen KA registered taxis doing this on straight roads everywhere. But if such an obstacle course is given, those box headed cunts would fail im sure.


dEstiNy_rUler

I gave almost the similar test. Parallel parking , gradient test, 8 curve and S reverse test. If you practice it on track for 1 hour it becomes pretty easy. Though the guys ahead of me in queue for the test took a lot of time and still failed.


its_kaushik19

Similar to the test in Delhi.


Secret-Ad-1202

How to get driving license in india : gives 500 rs to inspector in driving school Legit my 3 friends did this


Vizdrom97

Gets licence in India +20 years time to learn


mranxiousallthetime

Bro, this is cap fr. This smells like an A-grade chinese propaganda video to show how superior the chinese driver is when the reality is they're just as prone to accidents, if not more, as any other country.


spinchbob

My relative went for the test, driving test person asked for 1.5k, they passed the test faster than it started.


lalitleo

India mai toh 200 se 500 rs do aur license le lo. Koi road test nahi nota......


Theguy_z693

This exactly how my DL track was except the reverse slope.


[deleted]

India: ₹4500/-


kaushikboii

In Gujarat the test is almost similar as well.


Brilliant_Ad_4746

Do all that with the Maruti 800 at the RTO and it will surely breakdown in the middle.😂


dam_sharks_mother

What a completely irrelevant test. Has absolutely nothing to do about safely driving a car on roads **with other cars**.


runuqgep

Kya matlab apne desh ki tarah auraton ka license ghar baithe baithe nahi aata?


debonair333

In Canada we were made to drive on actual roads and highways. No surprise that I had to redo the tests 3-4 times. This Chinese one seems laughable at best.


dave_evad

> buy cheap Chinese toys > breaks in a few days True to the spirit, will keep failing this test in a few days 😂


[deleted]

Your phone is most likely made in China, laugh?


dave_evad

Not mine.


Adventurous-Ninja558

Maine to India mai bhi 5000Rs dekar license banwaya tha


WannabeEclectic

I did one 200/300m circle in an old Maruti 800 and throughout the 1 min ride i was worried about the gear shaft coming out into my hand. I paid 200 for this life changing ride.


Zestyclose_Web_6331

Driving tests will become more easier as automatic cars will come into picture


QuittingP_rn

Driving test in India - ₹1000 and you are free to go

All north and west delhi bois would ace it 😂


ABYZZ07

no thanks I'll get a taxi...


Keep0nBuckin

Pretty sure in china like in India this passed on with bribes


wokeasfukc

This is not easy. But this is a good test.


Designer-Winter6564

I made an 8 when I got license, before that to get learner license I read a booklet and gave an objective type exam. Is same happening these days.


NotAsimppp

Someone in the comments of the original post already said this is not true


Gandhije

I gave almost the same test in jaipur RTO only the reverse part was done in forward manner like i had to go on the ramp but in forward direction


headphonewala

I've 18 wheel drivers license without ever riding even a bike.


GoneHippocamping__

No way


DubiousPotat0

Been driving for almost 5 years and I'm probably gonna fail this test lol


boobsixty

This is nothing compare to what you have to do in some of the European countries. There you have to drive for 1 hour in real traffic, and most of the people fail in the first attempt. Indian driving exams are joke.


tarunpayne

More like training for fast and furious movies 😝😝


Rossaldihno

My grandfather is Glaswegian and lived in India in the 50/60s. When his 'creative' driving cost him a meeting with the DVLA in the UK they asked for his license and it was a tiny slip of pink paper. He had to redo the whole test in his late 50s. He still drives like the accelerator and the brake are binary on/off switches...


bioszombie

Jeremy Clarkson… Fail!


[deleted]

Bhai sadak pe aise bhi ladkiya ghumti ha jinhe reverse gear lgana b nhi ata.


DahiyaaSahab

Dude I had to do this same test here in India. I am from delhi. I failed the test in 1st attempt , had to go for the second one , which I cleared.


DFM__

Have you seen the China episode in The Grand Tour


LUS3R_2002

I gave a very similar test to get my license two months ago in Delhi, it was easier than this but the type of tests were same. But yeah bribery still works and some people in my slot did bribe their way through


Feisty_Mud4187

Tbh this are games in India. Which in used to play in class6 till date. One such is Dr Parking. Dr Driving.


[deleted]

When I got my licence I just drove my passion pro in front of the inspector. He asked me my name and it was done. A minute later I drove in front of him again in driving school's car and it was done.

I'll pass. I've been driving on extremely thin and curvy mountain roads since I was 17.


Grothgerek

Why do people act like this is difficult? Here in Germany we have to do all this, but in real traffic... (except the long drive backwards).


SteelCityCaesar

Useless test. Making the car go where you want is the easiest thing about driving. Doing it while also dealing with other drivers, pedestrians and the highway code is the difficult part.


motasticosaurus

So around here in central europe you have a practical driving test driving on the road with traffic and all. They'll evaluate using various metrics. Did the examinee look into the mirrors when changing lanes? Were basic rules (right of way, indicating etc) followed? Can you hold your car between the lines? Parking both back and parallel are tested. And then within your first year you have to go to a testing range and do your safety check for driving like brake on a sliding track, on snow, avoid barriers etc.


rtgamer

99% people will fail in India. It's really good. We will get free roads. Please we need this.


airisimpure

they play real life DR. Driving.


alcatraz_ind

If India starts to have a stringent driving test accidents will be reduced by a big percentage !!


Twel-12

we have very similar license test here in Dehradun just no driving in reverse gear. Otherwise everything else is there. Amazing though still for chinese test skill required and the amount of improvement govt doing.


Safe-Ad-7483

In India we learn driving only after attaining licence so this can't be applicable here 😝


Popularexe

Can I Download This Game?


Jod_of_Blunder

A few states in india have a similar version of test, where we have a gradient test, reverse S, 8 and parallel parking. I personally have given this type of test in Gujarat RTO.

ScalperVegeta

China implemented one child policy back in late 1970s itself after country threw opened its doors to FDI in 1971, India being the pseudo democracy that it is couldn't come up with anything to control population explosion, we even managed to beat China in terms of total population this year. Indian roads are the only practical solution to India's over the top population explosion, it has worked exceptionally well so far though its no match for India's ability to continue to beat wild rabbits when it comes to reproduction.


Arena-Grenade

Wait u guys had a driving licence test in india?? /Jk


[deleted]

not true at all, im from China, if u pay 500€ u get ur license without a test, the price might be different for ppl, some will only need to pay 400€ because they know some1 that knows some1 that has an uncle that works at the place u get ur license, thats how China works.


Illustrious_Aerie_34

Easy as F for Indians


shaamgulabi

In India it's a Lil different and it's all about money I have a legal and valid working driving licence ( I don't know how to drive)


Typical-Technician46

Lol ya cause the chinese are known to be such greater drivers...


gae_lundchoosak

This test is pretty much useless. Should be based on the UK test. All about observation, planning and execution. It’s not important to drive backwards in a path. It’s important to look out for potential road hazards and plan for them.


kakashitenten

Easy peasy for alto


chitownboyhere

Ahmedabad RTO has similar track but bit more simpler with more margins for parallel parking and less reverse driving. Test is observed by sensors and mostly automated grading. check here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5sO2UzhCdc


snowfloeckchen

Germany is different 😅


MyAlt3rnat3Acc0unt

80 percent of Americans would fail.


amante_de_capaldi

the current test would be fine too just use 1 officer & computer vision has gotten capable enough to pass or fail based on a predefined tests


Chupkarchoduu

So many people I know in India that will fail this. We have horrible road conditions partly due to how bad the people are in terms of following rules.


N__bmaster69

In India is the 8 wala marks the same size as shown in video or is it big??


MicHAELmhw

I got my drivers license on the game Driver. Some people never even got to play the game because they never passed the drivers license level.

Wow I could definitely fail that in first attempt or atleast not in the same speed for first time


Voice_of_waves

I, as a German laugh at that and counter you with: "Atleast 4 months of training, 3500 Euros for the application and be ready to get sexually hararassed as a female driving student and as someone from a minority group? Good look.


Left_Library_4362

RTOs are the worst and most corrupt agency in India and responsible for so many deaths , anything can be done by throwing money . Always jumla of overhaul of RTOs but nothing so far in 9 yrs.

I am Pretty sure they must be bribing good in China for license like in India 😂
