Gov. Pat McCrory says his administration is making it easier for citizens with out-of-state or recently expired North Carolina driver's licenses to get a new permit.
The governor and transportation officials announced Thursday a policy change that will eliminate the written driving test for most new residents with valid out-of-state licenses now seeking a North Carolina license. Written tests also won't be required for people with North Carolina licenses expired for less than two years - the previous rule was up to one year.
A Division of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman says these applicants will still take eye and road sign tests. McCrory's office said the change should dramatically reduce DMV office times for many.
McCrory made the announcement as he opened a new DMV office in Huntersville Thursday afternoon.
