Lahore Launches New Scooty Driving School. The Lahore Traffic Police has officially launched a new scooty driving school for women at Liberty Market under the Punjab Government’s Women on Wheels Initiative. The new training center aims to help women become confident, independent, and skilled drivers while encouraging safer transportation across the city.
The initiative reflects the government’s ongoing efforts to empower women by providing them with free driving education in a secure and supportive environment.
Women-to-Women Training Model
According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi, the new driving school follows a women-to-women training model. Female instructors will provide practical lessons and guidance, ensuring learners feel comfortable throughout the training process.
This approach creates a friendly learning environment where women can develop their driving skills without hesitation.
More Than 7,000 Women Already Trained
The Lahore Traffic Police has already trained over 7,000 women in scooty riding and car driving through its existing training centers.
With the opening of the Liberty Market facility, the total number of women-focused driving schools in Lahore has increased to 12. This expansion will allow even more women to benefit from professional driving instruction.
Practical Driving Plus Vehicle Maintenance Skills
The training program offers much more than just riding a scooty or driving a car. Participants will also receive basic knowledge about vehicle maintenance, including:
- Basic electrical systems
- Routine vehicle inspection
- Minor mechanical troubleshooting
- Essential road safety practices

These additional skills help women handle everyday vehicle issues with confidence and improve their overall driving experience.
Modern Training Facilities

The Punjab Government and Lahore Traffic Police continue to invest in improved infrastructure to make driving education more accessible for women.
