NEWS Ministry of Transportation Ontario Gradually Reopens DriveTest Centres June 18, 2020 2:30 P.M.... On Monday, June 22, 2020, Ontario's driver testing services provider, DriveTest, will begin to gradually offer limited driver testing services in a staggered, phased approach across the province. Driver Examination services will be reintroduced in three phases until full services are restored this fall. The gradual approach will ensure that strict protocols are in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This is part of the government's efforts to ensure that critical services are in place so people can return to work as Ontario reopens. Visiting DriveTest Centres To reduce crowding and support new requirements for physical distancing, health checks and enhanced sanitation, most DriveTest centres will serve customers who want to take a knowledge test, exchange a driver's licence and apply for or upgrade a commercial driver's licence based on when they were born. People with birthdays between January to June will be allowed to visit a centre the first week of reopening and people with birthdays between July to December will have access to DriveTest services the following week: Customer Birth Month Week # Dates January to June Week 1 June 22-June 27, 2020 July to December Week 2 June 29-July 4, 2020 January to June Week 3 July 6-July 11, 2020 Access to DriveTest services will continue to alternate weekly until full services are restored. Plan Your Trip to DriveTest Before You Go Learn more about available driver testing services, how to access DriveTest centres, and which customers are being served each week at DriveTest.ca. Information will be updated every Monday. Extended Driver's Licence Status The Ontario government has extended the validity of all Ontario driver's licences to keep people safe and reduce the need for in-person visits to ServiceOntario and DriveTest centres to contain the spread of COVID-19. No one will lose their licence due to COVID-19. For more information, please visit https://www.ontario.ca/page/extended-validation-periods.

Ontario will work with the service provider and with public health officials to ensure that the above dates are appropriate depending on the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

All DriveTest staff will wear personal protective equipment when serving customers. Driver examiners will also be equipped with face shields, sanitizer packages and seat covers when conducting road tests.

Since COVID-19 is making me stay home, away from the public, I chose to upgrade my "Say Dez!" Beginners' Driver Education Curriculum by converting it to e-learn...ing form. I am about two weeks away from a test run. Meanwhile, I was trolling Youtube and found an excellent video about traffic jams. I am posting it here with its commercial.
