No Case Can Be Filed If Driver Shows Acknowledgment Receipt from BRTA

DMP Commissioner Mohammad Shafiqul Islam said, "No case can be filed against the driver if he has an acknowledging receipt before getting the smart card license from BRTA."

He was responding to reporters' questions when he came to the BRTA office in the capital's Mirpur on Monday (November 1) at noon to apply for his license.

He said no traffic sergeant could sue on the basis of an acknowledging receipt for a license. DMP has been instructed in this regard. Even then, if a traffic member fines or sues someone, action will be taken against him on the basis of evidence.

The DMP commissioner said, "This is a complication of the licensing authority, not the driver’s liability. So he (the driver) is being exempted. And if anyone has fined him on this occasion, it is unfair."
