Driving Test Oasis
Provided by Richmond Kiwanis and City of Richmond
Members of the Kiwanis Club of Richmond recently inspected
one of its completed projects - the Driving Test Oasis. The local
Richmond Kiwanis Club partnered with the City of Richmond to provide
this waiting area for those who accompany individuals taking the
driving examination, the final stage in obtaining a driving license.
Kiwanians provided $1,000 to pay for the supplies to construct
the Driving Test Oasis which is located next to the Richmond Fire
Station on Madison Avenue (near the Richmond Post Office).
Kiwanians in the photo are: (l. to r. ) Beth Thompson,
2000 - 2001 president of the Richmond Kiwanis Club; Dr. Ken
Clawson, 2001-2002 Governor of the Kentucky-Tennessee District
of Kiwanis; David Harkleroad, 2005-2007 president of the
Richmond Kiwanis Club; Dr. Glen Kleine, 2003-2004 Lt. Governor
of the Kentucky-Tennessee District of Kiwanis; and Ben McPherson,
1987-1988 president of the Richmond Kiwanis Club.
The Driving Test Oasis project was initiated after
Dr. Glen Kleine, a local Kiwanian, took an Eastern Kentucky
University international student to take the driver's examination.
He discovered that those accompanying the individual taking the
exam are asked to get out of the car at this point and to wait
until the car with the individual taking the test and the examiner
returns. This usually takes about five to ten minutes. Kleine
felt a covered waiting area would be a convenience for parents,
spouses, and friends who accompany individuals taking the examination.
The City of Richmond agreed and the city provided the labor to
construct the waiting area.
