On April 22, Thansen became the first double-hand amputee to obtain a driving licence in Tamil Nadu.

According to a report by the TOI, Chennai North RTO gave him a 10-year licence to drive a modified car after doctors at the Institute of Rehabilitation certified him fit.

Thansen has not only inspired others with disabilities but has also helped doctors develop a new protocol for fitness certification.

Thansen's hands were amputated below the elbow after he came in contact with a high-tension wire when he was 10 years old. Initially, he and his family were devastated.

In December 2023, when he read about an armless woman obtaining a driving licence in Kerala, Thansen became hopeful. Two months later he met doctors at the Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. People with disabilities must be certified fit by this hospital to obtain a driving licence.

"His car was an automatic vehicle modified to suit his needs. He used his right foot to control the steering wheel and his left foot to push the accelerator and apply the brakes. He used the switches for indicators, wiper, horn and lights whenever required, told Dr Chitrarasu Krish.

Three doctors on the panel evaluated him independently for his reaction time, agility and speed. A team of doctors including Dr Athul Ved prepared a detailed report for the RTO explaining why they declared him fit for the licence. Thansen was permitted to drive under the 'adapted vehicle category'.
