NEW SITE FOR DRIVER EXAMINATIONS PICKED, EFFECTIVE THURSDAY

Effective Thursday, all driver examinations with the exception of the commercial drivers license skills test will be given at the Naval Reserve Training Center, 2530 Maria Louise Lane.

The move was announced by Robert L. Hente, driver examiner supervisor for the Missouri Highway Patrol.

Hente said tests will be given in room 128, which is at the rear of the training center. Tests will be given Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m, he said.

Hente said the move from the Main Street Levee District pumping station office on North Main will permit more applicants to be tested at one time. The Naval center will allow about 35 people to be tested at one time, while only about 12 could be accommodated at the pumping station office, he said.
