The Public Servants Association has endorsed a government proposal to extend the validity period for standard driving licences from five to eight years. The union views the change as a practical measure that would reduce administrative burdens for motorists and alleviate chronic backlogs at licensing centers.
While the union had advocated for a ten-year validity period, it considers the proposed eight-year extension a positive step. The initiative is intended to save drivers time and money while allowing the transport system to focus on other priorities. The proposal maintains the existing two-year renewal cycle for professional driving permits to ensure regular safety checks for commercial vehicle operators.
