This could, however, just be my mind making random crap up....:lol:

Anyone know if in the state of OK if you have to retest, or just take the written exam?

Can't say that I know the answer with any degree of certainty, other than it is probably different State by State, but would you willingly get into a bus as a paying passenger, knowing that the driver has only demonstrated an ability to pass a written test?
