Road Test Merges Back to DMV News | January 3, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy New drivers in Wisconsin will, once again, have to prove their skills on the road. The DMV yesterday said it is ending the road test waiver program that began during the COVID outbreak. The state issued nearly 170 thousand waivers to new drivers in the nearly three years that road tests weren’t available. The DMV says it hasn’t seen any ‘negative effects’ of the waiver program, but decided to end it anyway.
