In what was a confusing 24 hours for Manitobans, MPI announced amid the ongoing strikes, that they would no longer require a passing road test in order to receive a driver’s license.
MPI has now reversed its decision after many safety concerns were expressed by the community and driver education partners alike. A statement from the Crown Corporation reads:
“As a result of an overwhelming response from the driver education community, MPI is now satisfied there will be sufficient resources available to resume Class 5 testing for all drivers, including graduates of the Driver Z program. MPI is pleased with the positive response it has received from its driver education partners across the province, and their willingness to assist MPI in resuming driver testing services for our mutual customers.”
However, MPI does have the legal authority to reverse the reversal should the strikes continue and further cause issues in the system.
