DMV Reopening Plan
One of the many frustrations wrought by the pandemic is the months-long delay in the granting of new driver's licenses. I realize this has been especially distressing for young, first-time drivers, who also suffered the disappointment of suspended school and graduation ceremonies.
The good news is that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is ramping up, and has begun making appointments for both the written "knowledge test" and the actual driver's test.
I have heard from several of you that your child's testing appointment was cancelled. On a recent conference call, the DMV Commissioner assured me and my colleagues that they have begun contacting folks whose appointments were cancelled. Frustrating as it may be, I urge continued patience as the DMV starts to contact this long list of people. So please do not call the DMV -- those with previously scheduled appointments will be given priority.
Here is further info from the DMV about services and where to find them:
