The fallout from the RMV bogus street check scandal retains piling up like a freeway fender-bender.
The registry studies that out of the 1,074 street check do-overs, 64.5% failed.
As the Herald first reported this previous February, the RMV ordered 2,100 drivers to take a street check inside 10 days or danger shedding their license. It got here after the RMV found “suspicious activity regarding the issuance of road tests in 2020.”
Four RMV staff had been fired and the case is ongoing — or at the very least that’s what the RMV has informed the Herald in denying a public data request in search of the identities of the accused.
Here’s what we do know at this time, in accordance with the state Registry of Motor Vehicles, out of the two,100 street exams nullified:
- 1,074 had been retaken.
- 381 handed.
- 693 failed.
- 60 “voluntarily chose to surrender their driver’s license in exchange for a learner’s permit”
- 75 “required to take a motorcycle road test” opted out with many “waiting for better weather and road conditions before taking their motorcycle road test.”
- 838 by no means responded to the RMV order.
This all went down from Feb. 14-25, underneath the tight window provided up by the RMV.
The registry additionally introduced that starting on May 2, learner’s allow holders making use of for a Massachusetts-issued driver’s license “will be required to supply their own vehicle for road testing.” The RMV defined that the fleet of state-owned autos for street exams “which were cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis,” will not be used.
