Schedule Road Test In Eagan Mn

Each weekday morning in the wee hours, cars line up outside the gates of the driver’s license examination station in Arden Hills full of people hoping to snag one of the few available slots between the day’s regularly scheduled appointments.

Warsame was among the 15 unscheduled applicants that Driver and Vehicle Services regional supervisor Mark Larson hoped to squeeze in between the 80 or so regular appointments before the station closed at 4:30 p.m. He had turned away more than 20 other cars after 8 a.m. And told them to try again another day. “Last Friday, I had 53 cars in line,” Larson said.

“That was the highest we’ve had all summer. I tell them feel free to swing by again in the afternoon, but it all depends on how many appointments don’t show up. Yesterday, I only had two no-shows, so it took until 4 p.m. To get through the 15 people in the lot.” Minnesota’s 93 testing stations have given more than 70,000 road tests so far this year.
