Expect 400 000 To Take Ohio Driving Tests

More than 400000 Ohio motorists will face a practical driving examination when the license law takes effect October 1. Col Lynn Black of the State Highway Patrol estimates this based on 16 to 18 year olds who will form the main examiner group. All under 18 and all new drivers must take the tests. Patrol officers prepare by stopping motorists for mock exams, checking traffic laws, then testing starts, stops, hill starts, and parking between two parked cars. Tests cover city turns and signals and country approach to grade crossings, passing, horn use, and safety questions. Learner permits allow driving only with a licensed driver beside the student.
