Examiners working from the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s new Mobile Driver Examination Station (DX) are currently providing service in Pike and other southern Ohio counties depending on customer needs. The Mobile DX, which was primarily funded through a $200,000 grant from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, allows Patrol personnel to conduct knowledge and skills driver licensing tests in areas of the state where services have not recently been available.

The Mobile DX is operated by a Driver License Examiner and has four testing kiosks available for customers to take knowledge tests in the morning and skills tests in the afternoon. The vehicle is also equipped with a wheelchair lift for ADA compliance.

Customers can make testing appointments for the Mobile DX by calling 1-877-899-TEST. Locations and hours of operation are available at (740) 456-0135, and on the “County Services” page of the Patrol’s Web site, www.statepatrol.ohio.gov/counties.html.
