Why is it in news?
- The government will soon make it mandatory for linking Aadhaar with driving licences.
What are benefits?
- At presently what happens is that the guilty person who causes an accident flees the scene and gets a duplicate licence.
- This helps him go scot-free.
- With the Aadhaar linkage you can change your name but you cannot change your biometrics.
- So the moment you go in for a duplicate licence, the system will say this person already has a driving licence.
