The Alberta government has introduced electronic driver knowledge tests to replace written tests for new drivers and people applying for other license classes. The electronic tests will allow people to complete the tests more quickly and at the same time reduce the opportunity for cheating and fraud. “The Driver Knowledge Test System effectively uses technology to randomly select test questions from a large pool,” said Ty Lund, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation. “This eliminates the potential for cheating and, as a result, increases safety on our roads.” The new electronic testing system will generate tests of 20 randomly chosen questions from a selection of approximately 100 possible questions, ensuring every driver takes a different test. In addition, test results are automatically entered into a central system, which prevents anyone from going to another registry office to rewrite the test before the 24-hour wait period. People are encouraged to study and practice online before taking the test. The basic, professional and motorcycle driver handbooks are available at registry agent offices or online at www.infratrans.gov.ab.ca under Drivers and Vehicles – Drivers Handbooks.
