<p>NTSA Driving License- Full Guide</p>
<p>A driving license is issued as an authority to allow a person to drive a motor vehicle of any class on a road. No person shall be allowed to drive a motor vehicle on road unless he is the holder of a valid driving license or a provisional license endorsed in respect of that class of vehicle. No person shall be entitled to more than one driving license, but a driving license may be endorsed to permit the holder to drive one or more classes of motor vehicle.</p>
<p>Driving licenses shall upon expiry be renewed on production and upon payment of the prescribed fee. The renewal period will either be valid for a period of twelve (12) months or three (3) years from the date of issue at the option of the holder.</p>
<h4 class="subtitle">NOTE:</h4>
<p>No driving license or provisional license shall be granted to any person</p>
<ol>
<li>Under the age of sixteen years;</li>
<li>Under the age of eighteen (18) years, except in respect of motor cycles; or</li>
<li>Endorsed in respect of matatus and motor-omnibuses, unless he
<ol>
<li>Is over the age of twenty four (24) years; and</li>
<li>Has for not less than four (4) years held a license endorsed in respect of motor-cars or commercial vehicles.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Any person driving a motor vehicle on a road shall carry his driving license or provisional license, and on being so required by a police officer, produce it for examination.</p>
<h4 class="subtitle">CONDITIONS FOR GRANTING OF DRIVING LICENSE</h4>
<p>A licensing officer shall not grant an applicant a driving license endorsed in respect of any class of motor vehicle unless the applicant &#8211;</p>
<ol>
<li>satisfies the licensing officer that
<ol>
<li>He has passed a test of competence to drive that class of motor vehicle and that he holds a certificate of competence</li>
<li>Is the holder of a valid driving license for that class of motor vehicle granted by a competent authority in a member country of the Commonwealth, or</li>
<li>Is the holder of an international driving permit</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Makes a declaration as to whether or not he is suffering from any such disease or physical disability which would be likely to cause the driving by him of a motor vehicle to be a source of danger to the public</li>
<li>Is able to read, with glasses if worn, a motor vehicle identification plate at a distance of twenty five (25) metres. A person who is totally blind or blind in one eye is not allowed to hold a driving license.</li>
</ol>
<p>If it appears to a licensing officer that there is reason to believe that the applicant for any driving license is suffering from disease or physical disability likely to cause the driving by him of a motor vehicle, of the class or classes in respect of which the application for a license is made, to be a source of danger to the public, such application may be disapproved unless the applicant –</p>
<ol>
<li>Produces a certificate from a medical practitioner stating that in the opinion of such medical practitioner the applicant is physically fit to drive the class or classes of motor vehicle in question; and</li>
<li>Undergoes and passes a driving test</li>
</ol>
