TORONTO - DriveTest will open four more centres for limited services beginning today, bringing the number of centres open in Ontario to 12.

DriveTest had opened six centres using only managers, and the latest will be run by a mix of managers and striking employees.

The new centres opening today are in Kingston, St. Catharines, Bancroft and Ottawa (Walkley Road).

They will provide written license tests, road tests for commercial licenses and out-of-province and out-of-country license exchanges.

The strike, which began in August over job security, initially affected 93 full-time and part-time DriveTest sites.

The sites grant or renew licenses to novice drivers and those over 80 and does not affect people who renew their licence without a test.
