Supreme Court Ruling Clears Path for LMV Drivers to Operate Vehicles Weighing Up to 7,500 kg

The Supreme Court recently made a significant ruling that allows individuals with a Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) license to drive transport vehicles weighing up to 7,500 kg. This decision aims to provide clarity on licensing regulations and prevent insurance companies from rejecting claims based on the type of license held by drivers involved in accidents. The court also emphasized the importance of road safety and highlighted that there is no empirical evidence linking LMV-licensed drivers to an increase in accidents. Overall, the ruling addresses longstanding issues in the Motor Vehicle Act and aims to prevent future litigation on this matter.
