Measures against foreign tourists driving tuk-tuks in SL sans license
Sri Lanka Police has issued a statement over the increase number of foreigner tourists to Sri Lanka driving three-wheelers.
In a statement, police say that the number of road accidents reported in this regard has also increased. Noting that many foreigners do not possess valid licenses or proper training to drive the three-wheelers in Sri Lanka, police have clarified the necessary documentation they require to legally do so.
To prevent and control this situation, Sri Lanka Police announced that if a foreigner is found driving a three-wheeler without a valid license, the vehicle’s owner will be summoned, a statement will be recorded, and legal action will be initiated against them in court. Additionally, the police urge businesses and hotels renting out vehicles for foreign tourists, especially three-wheelers, to thoroughly check whether the foreign tourists have a valid driving license before providing them with a vehicle.
