Free Driver's Ed Program
Click here for access!
"The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County partners with Driving-tests.org, a company dedicated to driver safety and education, to offer free Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) practice tests to library patrons. The service includes free tests specifically based on the state’s DMV materials. It is the only site of its kind to include accessibility tools that let users, hear selections read aloud, make them into MP3s, translate pages into other languages, magnify text, and mask portions of the screen for greater visibility on the practice tests.
This partnership allows the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County to harness the power of Driving-Tests.org specialized practice exams to turn new drivers into safer drivers. The program will work as an outreach to several valued groups of patrons, including teens, those with disabilities, and seniors who need to take a renewal exam, as well as patrons at every other stage of life. |
