RALEIGH, N.C. — Road tests still aren’t being performed by examiners from the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles due to COVID-19, so now certain adults are exempt from passing one to obtain a regular license. 

The DMV announced that starting Wednesday it’ll waive the road test for drivers 18 or older in several specific situations. 

This follows the General Assembly approving a law last month allowing youths to defer the road test otherwise required to obtain a limited provisional license. 

The adults seeking a waiver still must make an appointment with the DMV and provide all required documents in person.
