Florida teenagers once again will be allowed to take their learner’s permit tests online.
The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in January halted an online testing pilot program when they determined that about 40 percent of the test-takers who passed the exam online failed in person.
A law signed by Gov. Rick Scott bringing back the online test took effect July 1.
The agency’s Steven Fiedler, said the new testing system is improved and holds parents more accountable. If a teenager is found to have cheated, the parent’s driver’s license could be suspended.
Fiedler said the online testing is driven mostly by customer convenience. About 70,000 teenagers apply for the learner’s permit each year.
