Apropos the letter (Nov 28). I fully endorse the views. The driving licence is issued for a maximum period of five years and one has to face many difficulties in its renewal.

As the interior ministry has extended the passport validity from five years to ten years and made the procedure easy, the district licensing authorities, too should extend the validity of licence 10 years.

This will reduce the workload and give the public relief.
