Online Exam Promotes Highway Safety
Last year the law changed for getting a driver’s license in
Utah. Since the beginning of the year new drivers have been
required to take the Highway and Safety Trends exam to receive a
license. In order to make it as easy as possible, the Utah
Department of Public Safety’s Driver License Division made the test
available online. The Driver License Division recently announced
13,191 new drivers have taken the exam this year. The exam consists
of questions covering driving safety topics and the top five major
causes of traffic-related deaths.
”This year we have had over 125 traffic fatalities on Utah
roadways. That is up over last year,” said Representative
Steve Eliason, who sponsored the legislation that created the exam.
"Educating young drivers about the most common risks that lead to
driving fatalities was the primary goal for sponsoring this
legislation. I think the exam can help make a big difference
towards improving driver safety in the state of Utah."
The exam is only available online and consists of questions
covering driving safety topics and five major causes of traffic
related deaths as identified by the Utah Highway Safety Office.
There are four sections in this exam. Each section has 10
questions. Test takers can stop after any completed section and
come back to the next section at any time and may be assisted and
given help by anyone and are encouraged to use all resources to
complete the exam.
“When drivers have completed this exam with 100% they will be
sent a message and a link to a page with the certification number,”
said MykeAnne Hurst, Deputy Director of the Utah Driver License
Division. “At that time the Driver License Division is notified
electronically and their driving record will be automatically
updated.”
