In a recent video message, the traffic official explained that driving without a license can have serious legal consequences if a road accident occurs. He stated that if a driver without a valid license is involved in an accident that results in the death of another person, strict legal provisions may be applied, potentially leading to a case being treated as a serious criminal offense.
According to DSP Marri, possessing a valid driving license can make a significant difference in how an accident is legally viewed. He explained that a licensed driver is generally recognized as someone who has undergone the required training and has been authorized to operate a vehicle. In such situations, the incident may be treated as an accident rather than an intentional act, subject to the relevant provisions of the law and the circumstances of the case.
