Simsbury Drivers: DMV Cancels Road Skills Tests Before 10 AM Tuesday
And by the way, the department reminds drivers to clear the snow from their cars before hitting the road — there's a state law about that.
An announcement from the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles:
The Department of Motor Vehicles announced today that all road skills tests for license applicants are canceled until 10 a.m. for Tuesday (Feb. 10) due to slippery road conditions. Tests will resume with 10 a.m. appointments.
To re-schedule a test customers should call 860-263-5700 within the Hartford area and those outside the Hartford area can call toll-free at 800-842-8222. DMV will also be contacting customers with appointments.
Drivers of commercial and passenger vehicles are reminded about the requirement to remove snow and ice from hoods, trunks and roofs or face fines and penalties. The law also calls for stiffer penalties when there’s personal or property damage from the flying elements.
Drivers are exempt from the fines when the snow, sleet and freezing rain begins or continues while the vehicle is traveling. Parked vehicles are also exempt from the required removal of ice and snow.
