Juvenile Driving Permit (ages 16–18, motorcycles)
Under the Punjab Motor Vehicles (Amendment) 2026 changes, teenagers aged 16 to 18 can apply for a special juvenile permit to ride motorcycles, scooters and e-bikes up to 125cc. It is not a full driving licence: a standard licence still requires age 18. Reports say the permit lapses at 18, requires a helmet, and can be cancelled for serious or repeated violations. Details below come from news reports; confirm age limit, fee and rules with the Punjab Traffic Police or e-Khidmat before applying.
