Scope and content
In July of 1941 long lines of license applicants formed at temporary driver's license centers throughout Tacoma. Legislation passed by the state legislature required that every driver in Washington apply for a new driver's license and pay a $2 fee before August 1st. Some 750,000 state residents were affected. To speed the process, experienced drivers could get a "temporary" license, and come back later to take the required driving tests. All new drivers had to take a written test, a driving test, and pass a physical. (TDL 6/15/1941)
