DRIVING SKILLS ASSESSMENT
(M-2 North Sector)
Motorways Police was established with prime mandate to ensure the
safety and protection of the road users. This new police organization was added as
a specialized police service. I firmly believe that the members of NH&MP shall at
least have excellent driving skills knowledge of traffic rules. No doubt this creation
shall be more than an ordinary traffic police.
Throughout the world in civilized societies all police officers are expected
to be well versed with the driving skills. Driving is not merely playing with the
steering wheel or just pushing the foot pedals. If I express it not the job of an illiterate
persons.
An exercise was planned to check the driving skills of the officers of M-2
(North) Sector.
TESTING TEAM: A team of ----------- officers was constructed headed by the undersigned
who tested the driving skills.
VENUE: Test was conducted at the premises of Line (HQ) M-2 and road test was
carried out on Motorways.
CONTENT TESTS: DRIVING COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT: The objective of the Driving competency assessment is to evaluate the
driving ability and skills of the officers. The candidate was expected to produce
his/her valid driving license.
COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT INTAKE: According to the results the directly
DRIVING LICENSE: Total 168 officers were tested prior to the test their Driving Licenses were
checked. 66 officers produced valid. 17 officers produced expired licenses while 85
officers failed to produce Driving License (almost 50 %).
It’s worth mentioning that following a schedule these officers were daily
called for the test, but these 85 officers expressed casual attitude. These officers
are daily issuing tickets for different violations. In case of non-production of Driving
License, they proceed under B-50 and impose a fine of Rs.750. But question arises
that who will check these officers who consider themselves above of law.
ASSESMENT: The candidates were tested into two phases. They were given a series of
two driving exercises.
PHASE-I – HANDLING EXERCISE: The exercise was carried out over a short period of time. Within 03
minutes, the officers should drive the vehicle forward avoiding an obstacle. Finally,
the officers must bring the vehicle into the parking place.
PHASE-II – ROAD EXERCISE: This exercise was carried out to test the driving maneuvers of the officers. SUGGESTIONS: 1) A Board at Central level be constituted to test those who apply for jobs in
NH&MP.
2) A testing procedure be notified. 3) For those who wants to join as deputationists teams shall be constituted at Zonal
level.
4) After 3 years annual refresher comes be arranged at Training Centre.
