Montana Driver's License Test Adds Bicycle and Pedestrian Questions
Due to a recent Share the Road meeting discussion, Montana is adding questions about bicycles and pedestrians to its driver's license exam. There will now be anywhere from 4-10 questions concerning non-motorized traffic on the tests, with the questions originating from the Montana Driver's Licensing Manual. While it may seem to be a small step, this addition to the exam will stress to new drivers the importance of acknowledging pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the roads as well as motor vehicles.
