Thousands of Louisiana drivers need to get vision test after administrative error
About 2,500 Louisiana drivers got a letter from the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles saying that they must complete a vision screening before the date that is listed.
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — About 2,500 Louisiana drivers got a letter from the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles saying that they must complete a vision screening before the date that is listed.
Matthew Boudreaux, public information officer for OMV, released the following statement on the reason behind these letters being sent out to drivers in the state.
"An OMV investigation revealed that an employee of a privately owned Public Tag Agent (PTA) in the Baton Rouge area failed to administer vision screenings to residents applying for a driver's license. Those residents have since been notified and may visit any OMV field office or the PTA that issued the license to receive a vision test at no cost," said Boudreaux.
The employee of the PTA has been disciplined, according to Boudreaux.
