Massachusetts is even worse. The RMV works with companies to screw people over. It gives out most slots to driving schools to begin with.
If you want to get a road test the wait time is over 3 months now. But if you pay a driving school $200 they will schedule you a test in 2 weeks. They do nothing for that money, just schedule you. You also separately pay the RMV the fees for the road test.
All of this for a pro forma 5 minute road test because the testers are now unionized and capped the length of the tests in their contracts. You don't even go on a highway ever or drive on a normal busy city street. If they run behind they just skip even the most basic moves and just have you drive around the block quickly.
I saw some really scary people get a license my day there.
- tssva 3y agoI got my license in Virginia in 1985. No unionization involved and my driving test was 5 minutes driving around the block. These days in Virginia most people don't take a driving test. Your driving instructor certifies to the state that you have demonstrated the skills required and the state issues a license.
