The rule, adopted by the Mo tor Vehicles Division, governs spacing of the driving test por tion of examinations for licen ses. It also provides that the first behind the wheel test ma v be con ducted on the same day the ap plicant satisfactorily completes the vision, law and road sign tests, or upon presentation of a valid instruction permit. Only one driving test may be admini stered that day. If the first test is failed, a second driving test may be given the next day or any day there after, but if an individual is unsuccessful in the first two attempts, the third test cannot be given until 10 days after the second attempt. The rule also provides that those who fail the third attempt must wait at least 30 days be fore attempting another demon stration of their driving abili ties; the same is true of any subsequent attempts. The primary purpose of the new rule is to insure that ap plicants prepare adequately be fore reappearing and requesting additional examination, ac cording to Chester W. Ott, Ad ministrator. Most applicants, he said, are successful on the first attempt. Only a few require more than two attempts and the agency says it wants to encourage these drivers to develop their driving skills between tests. The rule also provides that if "before, during or after a dri ving test the Division has rea sonable grounds to believe that further testing will unnecessa rily endanger life or property... the applicant may be refused the administration of any further tests until he has obtained au thorization from the Motor Ve hicles Division in Salem ” Front End Alignment Wheel Balancing Towne Garage SPRING BULL SALE Fairgrounds * Filer, Idaho METAL HEADGATES WE MAKE ANY SIZE, ANY GUAGE.
