New Product: Practice Permit Test

As you are aware, January 1, 2011, marked the end of the pilot program which allowed prospective drivers in the state of Florida to complete the "written" testing for their driver's permits via the Internet rather than having to test in-person at a Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) field office. Traffic Safety Consultants (TSC) and its affiliates allowed young drivers to take advantage of this convenient option via the Driver's Permit Test Online program. Unfortunately, the DHSMV recently announced that it has decided to permanently discontinue the online testing option.

This in an unhappy turn of events not only because the Driver's Permit Test Online was a highly profitable offering for traffic safety educators, but because young Floridians will now be forced to expend considerably more time and effort to complete the testing process at a DHSMV office. If they could have the knowledge and confidence to pass the test on their first attempt, however, their inconvenience could be significantly limited. An opportunity exists, therefore, to assist prospective young drivers in studying for the permit exam.

TSC is currently working to design its own Practice Permit Test program that we will soon make available to affiliates. This "test prep course" will provide students with simulated testing conditions and sample test questions, as well as other helpful information that will allow them to show up at a DHSMV office fully prepared to obtain their permit. The program is currently in development, and will be rolled in a few weeks.

Gloria and Donna will be contacting you shortly with the details about how you can participate in this exciting new opportunity.
