AUTO DRIVERS
PASSED TESTS
SUCCESSFULLY
BETTER THAN NINETY PEN
CENT OF FIRST TIME AP-
pLIcANTs ARE ELIGIBLE
FOR LICENSES

Better than 80 per cent of Key
Vests first time applicants for
drivers licenses have passed
their tests successfully, PATROL
man II. ]. Alfonso of the state
road patrol said today.
Alfonso, here to test drivers
who have not previously been
granted licenses, said he has
tested about 80 applicants since
he started work here Sept. 2.
About one out of every 10 fails
to get a passing grade the first
time, usually because Of lInfa-
miliarity with road rules.
Drivers who fall down the
first time are permitted to come
back in three or four days for
another try, But they are urged
to practice and study up on their
rules in the meantime.
The test, which requires about
35 minutes, includes an exam
nation on knowledge Of highway
signs, familiarity with rules of
the road, and a physical exam
nation
Drivers who pass the eye test
with glasses, but not with I'M
aided sight, have a notation
made on their licenses to that
effect, and they are guilty Of a
law violation if they are caught
driving without the glasses. A
similar rule exists for unusually
short persons women, usually
who are required to drive with q
cushion behind them in order to
reach the pedals safely.
Many Of the applicants, Alton
so said, get off on the wrong
foot by driving their own cars
to the courthouse for the test.
The patrolman doesn't arrest
them for AZ n6rdlnaf1iy, but the
applicants are guilty Of 4 law
violation before they ever get
started on the tests.
Since the applicant must use
his own car for the driving ex-
animation, he should have a Ii
censed driver chauffeur him to
the courthouse.

No figures are available on re-
