If you live in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/florida">Florida</a> and are getting ready to take the test to get you're learner's permit, you better head to Google Maps and find the location of the nearest <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/dmv">DMV</a>. For the past decade, potential new drivers had the option of taking their permit test online. This practice just came to a screeching halt when they found that a large percentage of drivers passing the online test failed the in-person version. How large? Over 50 percent.<br />
<br />
Emotions are predictably mixed, but we're all for fine-tuning a program that gives people the privilege of piloting two-ton murder mobiles. Having smarter drivers on the road leads to a better motoring experience for all of us. It's even plausible that a more knowledgeable pool of drivers could lead to fewer accidents and reduced insurance premiums.<br />
