N.C. driver’s education bill would allow third-party groups to provide DMV road tests
Richard Craver, Winston-Salem Journal – A Republican-sponsored state Senate bill cleared Wednesday its first committee step toward allowing the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles to hire third-party contractors for providing driver’s education road tests. Senate Bill 69 also would shorten from six to three months how long a driver’s license permit holder would have to wait before being able to drive between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
