In the 18 years I've lived in Augusta the DDS here has got better and better. The lady who helped my son and I get his first driving permit today was so welcoming and helpful. The whole process took about 30 minutes, and was very efficient.

I took the road test today and passed by 85 points I was so nervous but the very nice lady who took my paperwork told me don't be nervous you will pass made me feel a whole lot better. Also the lady checking you in told me good luck which helps to put you at ease. I went on a Thursday at 10:00 and it was so much faster than the Tuesday that was so packed they were calling us up to the window before we even sat down which was great you get in and out so fast thanks so much 🙂🚙🚦🛑
