It's actually hard to believe that there aren't already restrictions on the number of times a person can take and fail the tests at DMV. It does help me to understand why some many of the drivers out there can't seem to follow the basic rules of the road, however. Is it too much to hope for that this will pass both houses and make it into law?

Tens of thousands of Virginians fail the tests multiple times. One applicant failed the written test 80 times last year. Another failed the behind-the-wheel test 10 times.

In a little-known problem just coming to light, state officials believe the excessive test-takers are trying to get a driver's education class at the state's expense. On Thursday, the <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Virginia+State+Senate?tid=informline">Virginia Senate</A> is scheduled to take up a House-passed measure cracking down on the test-takers, who clog the already-long lines at DMV offices.

The proposal before the General Assembly would restrict applicants from taking more than three written or behind-the-wheel tests in three months. Those who fail three times would be required to complete a class at a driver training school before taking another test.
