ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- (Business Wire)
The Maryland
Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) has released an upgrade to the
highly popular Maryland
Practice Driving Test mobile app that includes a Spanish-language
version of the test for both the iOS and Android platforms. The Maryland
Practice Driving Test is a free and convenient tool to prepare future
drivers for the knowledge test required to obtain a Maryland driver
license. To date, the mobile apps have been downloaded over 350,000
times from the iTunes and Google Play App Stores.
Customers who have previously downloaded the app will need to install
the upgrade to access the Spanish-language version. The apps are
designed to display English or Spanish language questions automatically
based on the default language setting of the mobile device. The Maryland
Practice Driving Test app generates a random series of 25 questions and
allows users to repeat the test as often as they like. The app also
integrates with social media channels and allows users to email their
scores to their parents and friends or post on Facebook and Twitter.
“The new Spanish version of the driver practice test will help to
increase knowledge of safe and legal driving practices in Maryland,”
said MVA Administrator Milton Chaffee. “About half of those who take the
knowledge test fail it the first time. It is important for every driver
to understand the rules of the road because safety is the MVA’s number
one priority.”
The Maryland Practice Driving Test mobile apps are available for free
download in the iTunes and Google Play app stores and can also be
accessed through the state’s official website, www.Maryland.gov
or MVA’s website, http://www.mva.maryland.gov/mobile/.
The MVA encourages all applicants for a Maryland learner’s permit to
study the Maryland Driver’s Manual, available in English and Spanish on
the MVA’s website, before attempting to take the knowledge test. The MVA
also offers an online version of the Spanish language tutorial on their
website to assist those who do not have access to a compatible mobile
device.
The Maryland Practice Driving Test mobile apps were developed at no
charge for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration by NIC
Inc., through the self-funded eGovernment services contract with the State
Department of Information Technology (DoIT).
