Representative Linda Runbeck (R-Circle Pines), pointed out that state law says that the tests must be available to take within 14 days of the applicant’s request.
The whole thing is a mess, and it is also illegal. Wealthy-enough kids, however, can skip these lines by paying select driving schools who have “standing appointments” due to “special arrangements” with the state’s Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS, Minnesota’s DMV). Kare 11 also says that online tests are booked until at least January at most Twin Cities locations. Some people had arrived the night before to secure a coveted walk in spot.” On an August morning, cars lined up down the block before the gates even opened. Kare 11 goes on: “You can see the problem first hand if you show up at the Arden Hills testing station before dawn. “Long lines, frustration, and possibly a night spent sleeping in your car,” says the Kare 11 report. Kare 11 reports that it is almost impossible to get a driving test in the Twin Cities metro area. Unfortunately, Minnesotans can add the highly-popular Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to our existing list of troubled bureaucracies. The Department of Human Services-by-far Minnesota’s biggest government bureaucracy-is in shambles, and Democrat Governor Tim Walz still won’t explain why top DHS officials resigned, and what his administration is doing to stop welfare fraud and overbilling at the department. Despite how high Minnesota’s taxes are, our government just isn’t working.
