New Drivers' Test and Manual Coming Out This Month


In response to one of our alerts the Secretary of Transportation responds:
**************************************************************
Thank you for your email to Governor Martin O’Malley regarding sample test questions for the Maryland driver’s license knowledge examination on the Online Tutorial on the Motor Vehicle Administration’s (MVA) website. The Governor has received your email and asked me to respond on his behalf.

The MVA is scheduled to release its new Maryland Driver’s Manual in July 201 1. The revised manual will address bicycle-related issues in greater detail than in previous editions of this publication. It is my understanding that the staff of the MVA, the State Highway Administration, and Mr. Michael Jackson, MDOTs Director of Bicycle and Pedestrian Access, worked with both you and the members of the Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to revise the text regarding motorist responsibilities toward bicyclists and sharing the road with bicyclists. These changes will be reflected in the revise manual.

Test questions including practice test questions within the Online Tutorial will be updated to reflect the revised information in the new Driver’s Manual. We will give consideration to your comments when developing the new test questions.

Thank you, again, for your email. The Governor appreciates hearing from you, and, on his behalf, I thank you for your interest in this issue. For additional information on bicycle traffic safety in Maryland please feel free to contact Mr. Jackson at 410-865-1237 or via email at mjackson3@mdot.state.md.us. He will be happy to assist you

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
