The receptionist directs them in one of three directions. 75 percent go directly to Issue License (staffed by 9 workers) where a new photo and license are done. 15 percent are required to take an eye test (staffed by one worker), and 10 percent must first take a multiple-choice electronic written test (on one of three computers). Only 85 percent of people pass the eye test and the remaining 15 percent exit.
