Proposal to make driver test for teens permanently waived receives mixed reaction

Journal Times editorial: Road test waiver needs more study

Since May of last year, a parental waiver has allowed 16- and 17-year-olds to skip the road test requirement in Wisconsin in order to get a driver’s license. The Department of Motor Vehicles granted 49,000 such waivers since last year and now the DMV wants to make the pilot program permanent. “We are getting very good comments back from our customers from parents feeling very comfortable with this option and thankful that this is a choice,” DMV administrator Kristina Boardman told a Green Bay television station. And the DMV has data to back it up. Boardman says the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has been monitoring crash statistics and convictions for traffic violations since the pilot program began in response to the difficulty of road testing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those numbers show that those young drivers who received the waiver were not significantly different than those who had to take the behind-the-wheel test.
