Effective December 15, 2008, the MVA will be piloting a new noncommercial driving skills test at the Frederick and Waldorf branch offices. The new driving test will consist of both an off-road (course) portion to test various driving skills and a portion that will be performed on a public road. Please see "How to Prepare for Your Driver's Test" for more information. Vehicles used during the test must be in safe operating condition and have at least 1/4 tank of gas.
