'A real big mess': Windsorites express concern over a change in driving test requirements
CBC
The province is pulling the emergency brake on some driving test requirements in hopes of clearing a massive backlog of Ontarians waiting for a road test. Road-side stops, three-point turns and parallel parking are among the items temporarily taken off the G-test, which were previously included in the test at the examiner's discretion. "It's dangerous all around it's just laziness in my opinion to not take the time to teach the people how they're supposed to be driving correctly," said Nathan Falzon, who works as a commercial truck driver in Windsor, Ont.
"I think it's still pretty important, but to not be tested on it makes it a lot easier," she said.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
