of (PRINCIPAL OFFICE OR HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS IN VIRGINIA) (FEDERAL EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER) for use of the RoadTest component of the SecuriTest Solution (RoadTest) a service provided through DMV’s contractor Idemia Identity & Security USA, LLC (Idemia). RoadTest allows TPT to electronically mark digitized forms necessary to complete the skills testing process using computer tablet devices (RoadTest Tablets) that are provided, owned, and maintained by Idemia. RoadTest is used in lieu of hardcopy testing evaluation forms.

The completed applicant data and skills test results will be uploaded to DMV’s automated testing system, SecuriTest, using the Idemia provided SecuriTest Secure Enclave network where Idemia standard reports will be made available to select users and administrators.

Skills testing results will also be uploaded to DMV systems.

Application Users TPT must access RoadTest only through a third party examiner, as defined at Va. Code § 46.2-341.4, employed by TPT, who will be authorized to access RoadTest (an “Application User”). DMV bears sole discretion in determining the number of Application Users that will be authorized for TPT. All Application Users must receive training from DMV or as directed by DMV before using a RoadTest Tablet.

DMV will issue access mechanisms specific to TPT’s Application Users. For each Application User, TPT must submit the Application User’s full (first, middle initial, and last) name, on a form provided by DMV.

All access mechanisms are issued for specific Application Users. TPT, Application Users, officers, agents, or employees will not share access mechanisms and will not permit their use by any individual other than the Application User to whom such access mechanism is assigned.

TPT agrees that DMV may monitor use of access mechanisms and may terminate an access mechanism if DMV detects non-use or determines misuse of an access mechanism.

TPT agrees that it will not disclose information concerning any access mechanism, unless properly authorized by DMV to disclose such information and that TPT will not use any access mechanism that has not been expressly assigned to a TPT’s Application User by DMV.

TPT understands and agrees that TPT, its directors, officers, Application Users, agents, and employees are prohibited from using or knowingly permitting the use of any assigned or entrusted access mechanism for any purpose other than the performance of authorized functions.

Obtaining RoadTest Tablet Initiating order for RoadTest Tablet Upon execution of this Agreement and submitting a list of Application Users, TPT may request that DMV submit a purchase order to Idemia for the additional RoadTest service, provided via a RoadTest Tablet. TPT must be actively certified by DMV as a third party tester at the time of issuing a request for a purchase order. TPT shall return any RoadTest Tablets to DMV if its third party tester certification is terminated.

TPT shall use and possess the RoadTest Tablet only in connection with third-party-testing activities for which TPT has been certified by DMV to perform.

To request a purchase order, TPT shall send a request to DMV in the format prescribed by DMV. Such request shall be delivered by TPT and received by DMV according to the notice and contact provisions of this Agreement.

Payment to obtain RoadTest Tablet TPT shall compensate the cost for DMV to procure RoadTest Tablet services requested by TPT. DMV shall submit an invoice to TPT in the same amount as the purchase order to Idemia for such RoadTest Tablet.

Receipt and delivery of RoadTest Tablet Upon receiving RoadTest Tablet from Idemia, DMV will prepare the RoadTest Tablet for TPT’s use. DMV will contact TPT to schedule delivery of the RoadTest Tablet after TPT pays the invoice for obtaining a RoadTest Tablet. Delivery will coincide with DMV-provided training to TPT Application Users.

Payment for annual maintenance Maintenance for one year is included in the initial cost of procuring the RoadTest Tablet services. TPT shall compensate DMV for the cost per year for ongoing maintenance following the first year.

DMV shall submit an invoice to TPT in the same amount as the maintenance cost for such RoadTest Tablet due from DMV to Idemia.

Data plan payment DMV will install a SIM card to provide a secure, cellular connection for the RoadTest Tablet. TPT is responsible for compensating DMV for the monthly cost of the data plan. DMV shall submit an invoice to TPT in the same amount as the cost incurred by DMV for the data plan. --- Page 2 ---

TPT 499 (10/10/2021) page 2 Maintenance and Reporting DMV, through its contractor, Idemia, will maintain and support RoadTest. TPT agrees to take reasonable measures to ensure against any damage to or loss of the RoadTest Tablet. During non-business hours and otherwise when not in use, Application User will store the tablet in a locked, secure location. TPT must notify DMV immediately if RoadTest becomes inoperable, lost, or stolen.

DMV shall provide TPT with the Help Desk phone number. TPT shall call this number immediately to report and receive service for operational issues regarding RoadTest. If DMV cannot connect Idemia service personnel to the call, DMV will direct Idemia to call TPT directly. TPT agrees to comply with any instructions provided by DMV or Idemia pertaining to the maintenance issue.

Test reporting if RoadTest Tablet inoperable If RoadTest is inoperable or otherwise unable to report test results to DMV, DMV shall instruct TPT on how to submit test results during the time that RoadTest is inoperable.

Record of maintenance issues and replacement of RoadTest Tablet TPT must maintain records of RoadTest maintenance issues as directed by DMV. Pursuant to DMV’s contract with Idemia, DMV reserves the right to request a replacement RoadTest Tablet if: (1) a RoadTest Tablet is inoperable and the total number of hours of downtime exceeds 2% of the total operating hours in any 30 day period or (2) more than three service calls were placed for the same problem within any consecutive 30 day period. TPT is entitled to a replacement RoadTest Tablet under these conditions.

If there is a single unprovoked seizure (i.e., there is no known trigger for the seizure), the individual should be seizure-free for 4 years, on or off medication. If the individual is taking anti-seizure medication(s), the plan for medication should be stable for 2 years. Stable means no changes in medication, dosage, or frequency of medication administration. Recertification for drivers with a single unprovoked seizure should be performed every 2 years.

Single provoked seizure. If there is a single provoked seizure (i.e., there is a known reason for the seizure), the Agency should consider specific criteria that fall into the following two categories: low-risk factors for recurrence and moderate-to-high risk factors for recurrence.

Examples of low-risk factors for recurrence include seizures that were caused by a medication; by non-penetrating head injury with loss of consciousness less than or equal to 30 minutes; by a brief loss of consciousness not likely to recur while driving; by metabolic derangement not likely to recur; and by alcohol or illicit drug withdrawal.

Examples of moderate-to-high-risk factors for recurrence include seizures caused by non-penetrating head injury with loss of consciousness or amnesia greater than 30 minutes, or penetrating head injury; intracerebral hemorrhage associated with a stroke or trauma; infections; intracranial hemorrhage; post-operative complications from brain surgery with significant brain hemorrhage; brain tumor; or stroke.

The MEP report indicates individuals with moderate to high-risk conditions should not be certified. Drivers with a history of a single provoked seizure with low risk factors for recurrence should be recertified every year | Single provoked seizure.

General Information The programs are similar, but there are subtle differences.

Most motor carriers will find that if they have a Virginia IFTA account, they must have a Virginia IRP account and vice IFTA and IRP Overview versa.

The International Fuel Tax agreement (IFTA) and International Under IFTA and IRP, carriers obtain credentials from their base Registration Plan (IRP) are programs designed to provide jurisdiction. These credentials allow the carrier to operate in motor carriers a convenient way to pay their motor fuel road the base jurisdiction as well as in the other jurisdictions that tax and obtain their vehicle registrations. The programs have participate in the programs. For IRP, carriers simply report evolved over time so that in most cases carriers only need their actual distances by IRP jurisdiction and pay fees to to get their credentials (licenses, license plates and decals) the jurisdictions in which they actually operated during the in their base jurisdiction. Before the current programs were distance reporting period. IRP and IFTA credentials are valid established, motor carriers had to manage accounts in all in all jurisdictions participating in the agreements. The base the jurisdictions where they traveled using programs which jurisdiction collects taxes and registration fees for the other were not consistent between jurisdictions. Motor carriers had jurisdictions and distributes them appropriately on behalf of to file multiple tax returns and have multiple license plates the carrier. in addition to other duplicated licenses and permits. This patchwork of rules and regulations was replaced with the IFTA Determining Base Jurisdiction and IRP programs.

Policy Title: DMV Policy for Adaptive Equipment and Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) Referrals

Policy Detail

It is the policy of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) based on advice of the Medical Advisory Board

that

Drivers who are newly in need of adaptive equipment that requires fitting by a specialist or a prescription from a medical provider of any type, should be referred for a CDRS evaluation. This includes, but is not limited to, left foot accelerators, spinner knobs, hand controls, and signal adaptors.

Drivers who come to the attention of DMV who have been using adaptive equipment for a long-standing disability should be given a DMV road skills examination. Attempts should be made to obtain the original driver evaluation if possible. The exception to this is, if DMV receives a report of a problem with the adaptive equipment or with the driver’s ability to use the adaptive equipment successfully. These drivers will need to be evaluated by a CDRS provider.

Drivers who have minor vehicle modifications that assist them to fit into their vehicle do not need referrals. Such equipment includes, but is not limited to, a pedal extender (less than 4 inches), seat cushion, oversized ignition key, and a seat belt grip.

DMV may impose additional requirements on the individual depending on the information DMV has

received. DMV also reserves the right to request that a driver provide additional information in order to determine the severity of the condition and to assess their ability to operate a motor vehicle safely.

Policy Title: DMV Visual Field Policy

Policy Detail

It is the policy of the Department of Motor Vehicles based upon guidance and recommendations from the Medical Advisory Board that:

Individuals with known visual field loss of any kind or with high-risk conditions leading to visual field loss

should be reported to DMV.

DMV will issue an Order of Suspension upon receipt of documentation that a driver has a diagnosis of visual field loss that reduces horizontal vision to less than standards outlined in the Code of Virginia. The issuance of this order will be based upon an unacceptable vision report or unacceptable visual field analysis. In some cases the MED 4 will be sufficient to issue the order of suspension. In those cases, an individual wishing to protest the agency’s decision to suspend his/her license must submit a Visual Field Analysis (VFA) for reconsideration.

Individuals with an acceptable Med 4 who have a high-risk condition that can reduce the usable field of vision should have a baseline VFA performed. Conditions that are considered progressive, such as retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma will be followed at least annually and repeat VF testing will be requested when changes are reported in the visual field or at a minimum of every 3 years.

High Risk Ophthalmic Conditions (including but not limited to)

Hemianopic loss

 Hemianopia (complete). Partial hemianopic defects may be considered safe for driving if the individual demonstrates an adequate field of vision in the unaffected side and the affected side retains or regains 30 degrees temporally with 15 degrees above and below the horizontal line for the full 30 degrees.

 Quadrantanopia (complete). Partial Quadrantanopia may be considered if the individual demonstrates an adequate field of vision in the unaffected side and the affected side retains or regains 30 degrees temporally along the horizontal line while demonstrating 15 degrees above and below the horizontal line for the full 30 degrees.  Bitemporal hemianopia may drive if combined nasal measurement meets the VA standard for horizontal vision of 40 degrees to one side and 30 degrees to the other side for a minimum of 70 degrees total as demonstrated by VFA.  Other visual field loss from strokes, tumors or compressive disorders

--- Page 2 ---

Optic nerve

 Glaucoma – Moderate to Severe stage  Ischemic, traumatic, compressive, toxic or malnutrition related optic neuropathy  Hereditary (Lebers) optic neuropathy

 Optic neuritis  Optic nerve head edema – papilledema  Optic atrophy

Retina

 Proliferative diabetic retinopathy status post pan retinal photocoagulation

 Retinitis pigmentosa  Retinal ischemia due to artery or vein occlusions  Retinal ischemia due to uveitis etiologies both infectious and non-infectious  Retinal detachment

 Retinal laser procedures  History of retinopathy of prematurity or radiation retinopathy

Measuring Visual Fields

 To determine visual field loss, DMV requires the results of a visual field test that measures the central 24 to 30 degrees of the visual field; that is, the area measuring 24 to 30 degrees from the

point of fixation. Acceptable tests include the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) 30-2, HFA 24-2, Octopus 32 or equivalent threshold perimetry test. In addition, testing needs to be completed to 120 degrees (60 degrees from the point of fixation) i.e. HVF 60-4 or equivalent.

 DMV measures to the widest point where there is vision 15 degrees above and below the

horizontal.

 Screening tests. We will not accept the results of visual field screening tests, such as confrontation tests, tangent screen tests, or automated static screening tests, to determine if the visual field meets DMV requirements when an individual has a condition that places them at high

risk for visual field loss.

 Use of corrective lenses. Eyeglasses should not be worn during visual field testing because they limit the field of vision. Individuals may wear contact lenses to correct visual acuity during the visual field test to obtain the most accurate visual field measurements.

 Scotoma. A scotoma is a field defect or non-seeing area (also referred to as a “blind spot”) in the visual field surrounded by a normal field or seeing area. When measuring the visual field, subtract the length of any scotoma, other than the normal blind spot, from the overall length of any diameter on which it falls.

DMV may impose additional requirements on the individual depending on the information DMV has received.

DMV also reserves the right to request that a driver provide additional information in order to determine the severity of the condition and to assess their ability to operate a motor vehicle safely.

Policy Title: DMV Visual Field Policy

Policy Detail

Department of Motor Vehicles policy, based on Medical Advisory Board guidance, states that:

Individuals with any visual field loss or high-risk conditions causing it

should be reported to DMV.

DMV will suspend a driver upon receiving documentation of visual field loss below Virginia standards, based on vision report or visual field analysis; MED 4 may suffice; protests require VFA submission.

Acceptable Med 4 individuals with high-risk conditions should have baseline VFA; progressive conditions like retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma require annual or 3-year follow-up with VF testing when changes occur.

High Risk Ophthalmic Conditions (including but not limited to)

Hemianopic loss

Complete hemianopia may be safe if the unaffected side has adequate vision and the affected side regains 30° temporally and 15° above/below horizontal for 30°.

Complete quadrantanopia may be allowed if unaffected side is adequate and affected side regains 30° temporally and 15° vertically; bitemporal hemianopia may drive if nasal measurements meet VA standards; other losses from strokes, tumors, or compressive disorders.

Policy Title: DMV Seizure/Blackout Policy

Policy Detail

It is the policy of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) based upon guidance and recommendations from the Medical Advisory Board that:

Seizures

DMV requires individuals to be free of seizures for at least 6 months in order to establish that medication for the seizure or underlying cause of the seizure is effective and/or that none of the medical conditions that may have caused the seizure have reoccurred.

If an individual has a history of seizures, the individual and his/her medical provider must complete a medical report before a Virginia driver’s license may be issued. Once the medical report is received by DMV, it is reviewed to determine if the individual may be licensed to operate a motor vehicle. DMV reserves the right to request additional information in order to assess the person’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

Once the individual is licensed to operate a motor vehicle, the individual will be placed on periodic medical review with DMV based on the medical information the agency has received and will be

required to furnish medical reports every 3, 6, 12, or 24 months to DMV. DMV may impose additional requirements on the individual depending on the information DMV has received.

If an individual is currently licensed and DMV is notified that this individual has experienced a seizure, his/her driving privileges will be suspended for a period of 6 months from the date of the last episode. At the end of the 6 months, a DMV Customer Medical Report (Parts A, F and the Customer Information Sections) is required to be submitted to DMV in order to determine if the individual’s driving privilege may be reinstated. DMV may impose additional requirements on the individual depending on the information DMV has received.

Unexplained blackout/loss of consciousness/alteration of awareness

If an individual suffers an unexplained blackout, alteration of awareness or loss of consciousness (negative medical work-up with no defined cause), DMV will suspend the individual’s driving privileges for a period of 6 months from the date of the unexplained blackout, alteration of awareness or loss of

consciousness. At the end of the 6-month suspension period, the driver is required to furnish a medical report to indicate that the driver was examined exactly 6 months from the date of his/her last blackout or loss of consciousness and has not suffered a subsequent blackout or loss of consciousness since that date.

DMV may impose additional requirements on the individual depending on the information DMV has [TABLE 1-1] DMV requires individuals to be free of seizures for at least 6 months in order to establish that medication for the seizure or underlying cause of the seizure is effective and/or that none of the medical conditions that may have caused the seizure have reoccurred.

received.

Breakthrough seizures

If an individual suffers a breakthrough seizure, which is defined as a seizure due to non-compliance (missed medication), physician manipulation of the drug regimen/dosage due to side effects, pregnancy, sleep deprivation, or concomitant illnesses, the individual may resume driving 3 months after the seizure.

Proof of compliance may be requested.

Isolated (single-event) seizures

If an individual has an isolated (single-event) seizure with a clearly identified cause for which treatment has been completed and there is no risk of reoccurrence, the suspension period may be reduced to three months provided that there is documentation from the individual’s neurologist that the individual is now stable and no unfavorable conditions were noted. Unfavorable conditions include, but are not limited to:

 A positive family history of seizures  The seizure was focal in origin  The EEG showed focal or generalized spikes  Neurological deficits were noted before the seizure

Documentation is required from the individual’s neurologist on Parts A, F and the Customer Information

Section of the Customer Medical Report. DMV may impose additional requirements on the individual depending on the information DMV has received.

If an isolated seizure or loss of consciousness event is due to withdraw from alcohol or other substance, the individual will remain suspended for 6 months and the DMV Substance Abuse Policy will be applied.

Periodic Review

If a driver is on anti-seizure medication and has been seizure-free for a period of 10 years, DMV may cease to require periodic medical reports from these drivers.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Legislation and Program Goals

This guide provides insurance companies with information necessary to comply with legislation adopted by the 2019 General Assembly, which amended § 46.2-706.1 of the Code of Virginia. This legislation, with an effective date of January 1, 2020, requires insurance companies licensed to do business in Virginia to furnish liability insurance information (Automobile liability Insurance Reporting) to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) electronically. This electronic information is required when a policy change occurs. A policy change is when an insurance company (i) issues liability insurance, (ii) cancels liability insurance, (iii) becomes aware of a lapse in liability insurance, (iv) reissues or reinstates liability insurance, or (v) adds or removes a vehicle to an existing liability

insurance policy for motor vehicles registered in Virginia. Electronic information is also required when insurance companies respond to a request for acknowledgement of liability insurance. A response, confirming or denying the existence of a policy with the company, is required within 15 days of receiving the request.

The goals of the Virginia Automobile Liability Insurance Verification Program include:

 encourage Virginia motor vehicle owners to obtain and maintain liability insurance on all registered vehicles; and

 develop a process that will minimize the state’s intrusion into the lives of owners who comply with insurance laws; and

 reduce paperwork between DMV and insurance companies in verifying insurance information.

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 3 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 4 ---

Program Overview

DMV uses liability insurance information reported from insurance companies to detect uninsured motor vehicles prior to their involvement in an accident. Verification takes place whenever a motor vehicle owner or insurance company cancels liability insurance coverage for a vehicle or when an owner first registers a motor vehicle in Virginia.

To verify insurance, DMV matches insurance additions, reinstatements, and cancellations to motor vehicle registration records. If no insurance match is found for a vehicle registration record, DMV mails a request for liability insurance information notice to the motor vehicle owner(s).

Information requested includes the name of the insurance company and policy number of coverage

in effect on a specific date. The motor vehicle owner(s) is allowed twenty-one days to respond to the request for information before DMV takes further action.

Information received from the motor vehicle owner(s) is matched against DMV’s file for new additions reported by insurance companies. If there is no match, the motor vehicle owner’s liability information is forwarded to the named insurance company for acknowledgment.

If the insurance company denies coverage, the motor vehicle owner(s) is notified and requested to review the insurance information for correctness and, if necessary, to submit new information.

If the motor vehicle owner(s) fails to respond to the request for liability insurance information, or insurance coverage is denied, an Order of Suspension is issued to suspend the driving and vehicle registration privileges of the motor vehicle owner(s). This Order of Suspension becomes effective

in thirty days unless the owner(s) pays DMV a $600 noncompliance penalty fee and has a liability insurance company file, with DMV, an SR22 (Proof of Financial Responsibility). The SR22 filing is required for a period of three years. If the Order of Suspension goes into effect, the vehicle owner(s) must also pay a reinstatement fee before the driving and registration privileges will be reinstated.

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 4 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 5 ---

Program Requirements

Insurance companies, whether new or currently doing business in Virginia, should use the Insurance Survey (https://dmvmove.dmv.virginia.gov/form/INSsurvey) to communicate business needs.

This survey will allow companies to communicate with DMV any updates, reporting criteria, and business/technical contact information. DMV personnel will review the Insurance Survey and take action based on the information provided.

1. This program applies to all automobile insurance companies licensed to do business in Virginia and write motor vehicle liability insurance. Any insurance company obtaining a license in Virginia must begin reporting cancellations, reinstatements and additions to DMV within 30

days of writing active policies. Any insurance company submitting insurance records to DMV must comply with the content standards developed by DMV or the electronic data interchange.

2. Companies reporting may submit records and corrections daily within one file. Reporting must occur within 30 days of a policy change. A policy change is when an insurance company (i) issues liability insurance, (ii) cancels liability insurance, (iii) becomes aware of a lapse in liability insurance, (iv) reissues or reinstates liability insurance, or (v) adds or removes a vehicle to an existing liability insurance policy for motor vehicles registered in Virginia.

• A group of insurance companies may submit insurance records in one transmission.

• An insurance company may report vehicle-specific policies together or separately.

• Only one file per day may be uploaded until 4:00 pm EST. Processing is done in the DMV overnight batch system. A statistical and error (if any) report will be returned the next day. There is no limit to the number of records that may be contained in the file.

4. Insurance records received by DMV containing errors will be returned to the insurance company on the same day for correction. Corrected errors should be submitted on the next transmission.

Note: Every insurance company is responsible for reviewing and verifying any returned data pertaining to their file. IT IS YOUR RESPONIBILITY TO CHECK YOUR

RETURN FILE(S) WITHIN 5 DAYS OF RECEIPT.

5. When an insurance company discontinues issuing automobile liability insurance in Virginia, DMV must be notified in writing (e-mail to InsuranceACK@DMV.Virginia.gov ). The company must not have any active motor vehicle liability policies in force or plan to issue any future policies of that type.

6. DMV notifies insurance companies at least two weeks in advance of any reporting requirement changes. Reporting companies are accorded a reasonable period of time to implement such changes,

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 5 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 6 ---

Chapter 2: Reporting Process

The process involves an information exchange between the insurance company and DMV, either directly or through the registered owner/insured party. Insurance records will not be accepted for any insurance company or NAIC (North American Industry Classification System) code that is not licensed with the Commonwealth of Virginia State Corporation Commission or present in the DMV insurance table.

Insurance companies, whether new or currently doing business in Virginia, should use the Insurance Survey (https://dmvmove.dmv.virginia.gov/form/INSsurvey) to be added to the DMV insurance table and communicate business needs.

The process described is for

 reporting insurance records

 acknowledging the validity of insurance information provided by a registered owner

Note: Acknowledging the validity of insurance information is only used when no match is made through the regular reporting process.

This reporting process is NOT designed for SR22/SR26 or FR44/FR46 processing. Processing for SR22/SR26 and FR44/FR46 is through the DMV Extranet application. Please find the application here. https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/pdf/us531e.pdf

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 7 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 8 ---

Insurance Record Reporting Process Insurance Record Reporting Process

Step 1: Insurance Company Uploads Insurance Activity Records

The insurance company uploads a file containing insurance activity records which have occurred since the last reporting period to DMV. Files may be uploaded daily until the cut off time set by DMV. EDI processes Monday through Friday only.

A. Schedule

Records must be submitted within 30 days of a policy change. Error correction records can be

submitted daily or in the next submission within the submitted file.

Note: DMV can only process one uploaded file per day.

Any additions, reinstatements, and cancellations of motor vehicle liability insurance coverage activity occurring within 30 days of a policy change should be reported according to the DMV processing schedule.

B. Content

The record contents must comply with the reporting requirements outlined in the Technical Guides.

Transactions must be submitted when

• new liability insurance is established, or a vehicle is added to or replaces a vehicle on an existing policy;

• a vehicle is no longer insured, i.e. the vehicle is not renewed or is dropped from the policy;

• the policy is not renewed or has expired;

• the policy is canceled or terminated; or

• coverage is reinstated.

C. Format

The format for insurance record submission must comply with DMV’s standards outlined in the Technical Guides, based on your file submission format.

DMV can accept records in 2 different formats.

1. DMV format – please refer to Technical Guide – DMV for specifics
2. EDI format – please refer to Technical Guide – EDI for specifics

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 8 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 9 ---

Step 2: DMV Processes the Insurance File

 The insurance records are processed in DMV’s overnight batch system. Reports are returned indicating successful processing of submitted data.

 Invalid insurance records are returned to the insurance company with the appropriate error code(s).

An invalid insurance record occurs when

• the insurance company identifying information (e.g. insurance company code, insurance

company name, transaction type) is missing or invalid;

• future dates are used;

• the named insured is missing from the insurance record;

• certain vehicle-specific information such as VIN, full name of first named insured, vehicle

make, or vehicle model year, when required, is missing from the insurance record.

• the driver license or social security number is missing for a cancelation of insurance

Please refer to the Technical Guides for Error Codes.

Note: Every insurance company is responsible for reviewing and verifying any return data

pertaining to their file. IT IS YOUR RESPONIBILITY TO CHECK YOUR

RETURN FILE(S) WITHIN 5 DAYS OF RECEIPT.

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 9 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 10 ---

Step 3: The Insurance Company Corrects the Errors and Resubmits the Corrected Insurance Records to DMV

The insurance company has the option of resubmitting the corrected records separately, or as part of the next regular reporting; however, updates are required to be reported within 30 days of a policy change to liability insurance. Delaying to the next reporting may cause unnecessary insurance verification notices to be issued to the motor vehicle owner(s).

Edit errors on transactions for newly issued insurance, cancellations, and reinstatements o should be corrected and resubmitted as quickly as possible.

Edit error corrections for other types of transactions may be resubmitted with the next regular o reporting.

Note: DMV can only process one uploaded file per day.

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 10 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 11 ---

Insurance Acknowledgement Process

I

If insurance information is not received from an insurance company or does not match DMV records, a notice is sent to the registered vehicle owner(s).

Insurance policy information provided to DMV from the notice response is sent to the insurance company for

acknowledgement.

This process includes the following actions

DMV Action

A. A registered vehicle is identified as potentially uninsured due to new registration without an insurance match or receipt of insurance cancellation.

B. A Vehicle Insurance Verification Notice is sent to the registered owner(s) of a vehicle. The letter requests the name of the insurance company and the identification number of the policy insuring the vehicle in question.

C. The registered owner returns the notice to DMV within 21 days with insurance information.

D. If DMV has matching insurance information, no further actions taken. If DMV has not received matching insurance information, an acknowledgment request is sent to the insurance company.

Insurance Company Action

A . Insurance company will respond to the acknowledgment request by acknowledging or denying coverage and returning the information electronically to DMV within 15 days of receipt.

B. If the insurance information is valid, the insurance company should submit an insurance record to DMV within 30 days. Updates are required within 30 days of a policy change to liability insurance. These records are submitted through the normal reporting process.

DMV Action

E. If the insurance is denied by the insurance company, DMV issues an Order of Suspension to all registered owner(s) of the vehicle.

F. The Order of Suspension notifies the registered owner(s) that insurance coverage was denied and registration and driving privileges will be suspended in 30 days. The order contains a list of requirements with which the owner must comply to avoid suspension or to reinstate registration and driving after suspension takes effect.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Legislation and Program Goals

This guide informs insurers of 2019 legislation (effective Jan 1, 2020) requiring Virginia-licensed insurers to electronically report liability insurance info to DMV when policies change (issue, cancel, lapse, reissue, add/remove vehicle).

Electronic info is also required when insurers respond to liability acknowledgment requests, which must be answered within 15 days confirming or denying policy existence.

The goals of the Virginia Automobile Liability Insurance Verification Program include:

 encourage owners to obtain and maintain liability insurance on all registered vehicles;

 develop a process to minimize state intrusion into owners who comply with laws;

 reduce DMV-insurer paperwork in verifying insurance.

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 3 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 4 ---

Program Overview

DMV uses liability insurance information reported from insurance companies to detect uninsured motor vehicles prior to their involvement in an accident. Verification takes place whenever a motor vehicle owner or insurance company cancels liability insurance coverage for a vehicle or when an owner first registers a motor vehicle in Virginia.

DMV matches insurance changes to registration records; if no match, DMV mails a liability info request to owners.

Requested info includes insurer name and policy number.

In effect on a specific date; owners have 21 days to respond before DMV acts.

Owner info is matched against DMV records; if no match, info is sent to insurer for acknowledgment.

If coverage is denied, owners are notified to review and resubmit info if needed.

Failure to respond or denial leads to an Order of Suspension suspending driving and registration privileges, effective

Order becomes effective in 30 days unless owners pay $600 penalty and file SR22 with DMV for 3 years; reinstatement requires fee payment.

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Page 4 Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting Business Guide July 2019 --- Page 5 ---

MED 4 (06/28/2024) Page 2 NOTES Acceptable standards of vision for safe driving are determined by the Code of Virginia and DMV under the guidance of the Medical Advisory Board.

A Acuity: Visual Acuity should be recorded at the lowest line where an individual scores 100% correct. Whole numbers only. Visual requirements must be met without the aid of a telescopic lens. Some drivers may be granted waivers from these vision requirements.

B. CDL Waiver: Holders of or applicants for a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), who are unable to meet Virginia minimum vision requirements may apply to DMV's Medical Review Services for a disability waiver to qualify for an intrastate only CDL or CLP, provided they meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations' minimum vision requirements. Color perception is required. Please have your eye care practitioner submit a graphic visual field analysis to 120 degrees in each eye. C. Visual Field (VF): This section may only be left blank if a graphic visual field analysis is provided. Individuals who have a high-risk condition that can reduce the usable field of vision should have a baseline Visual Field Analysis (VFA) performed. Conditions that are progressive, such as retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma, will be reviewed by DMV annually. Repeat VF testing will be requested when changes are reported in the visual field or at a minimum of every 3 years.

High Risk Ophthalmic Conditions Requiring a Visual Field Analysis (including but not limited to):

• Hemianopia (complete) and Quadrantanopia (complete). Partial hemianopic and quadrantanopic defects may be considered safe for driving if the individual demonstrates an adequate field of vision in the unaffected side and the affected side retains or regains 30 degrees temporally with 15 degrees above and below the horizontal line for the full 30 degrees.
• Bitemporal hemianopia may drive if combined nasal measurement meets the Virginia standard for horizontal vision of 40 degrees to one side and 30 degrees to the other side for a minimum of 70 degrees total as demonstrated by VFA.
• Other visual field loss from strokes, tumors or compressive disorders
• Glaucoma - Moderate to Severe stage
• Ischemic, traumatic, compressive, toxic , hereditary (Lebers) or malnutrition related optic neuropathy
• Optic neuritis
• Optic nerve head edema - papilledema
• Optic atrophy
• Proliferative diabetic retinopathy status post pan retinal photocoagulation
• Retinitis pigmentosa
• Retinal ischemia due to artery or vein occlusions and uveitis etiologies
• Retinal detachment
• Retinal laser procedures
• History of retinopathy of prematurity or radiation retinopathy Measuring Visual Fields for DMV Vision Reports:
• To determine visual field loss, DMV requires the results of a visual field test that measures the central 24 to 30 degrees of the visual field; that is, the area measuring 24 to 30 degrees from the point of fixation. Acceptable tests include the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) 30-2, HFA 24-2, Octopus 32 or equivalent threshold perimetry test. In addition, testing needs to be completed to 120 degrees (60 degrees from the point of fixation) i.e. HVF 60-4 or equivalent.
• DMV measures to the widest point where there is vision 15 degrees above and below the horizontal.
• Screening tests: DMV will not accept the results of visual field screening tests, such as confrontation tests, tangent screen tests, or automated static screening tests, to determine if the visual field meets DMV requirements when an individual has a condition that places them at high risk for visual field loss.
• Use of corrective lenses: Eyeglasses should not be worn during visual field testing because they limit the field of vision. Individuals may wear contact lenses to correct visual acuity during the visual field test to obtain the most accurate visual field measurements.
• Scotoma: A scotoma is a field defect or non-seeing area (also referred to as a “blind spot”) in the visual field surrounded by a normal field or seeing area. When measuring the visual field, subtract the length of any scotoma, other than the normal blind spot, from the overall length of any diameter on which it falls.

VISION STANDARDS

DRIVER'S LICENSE: RESTRICTED TO DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY: COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE: ► 20/40 or better vision in one or both eyes, and ► 20/70 or better vision in one or both eyes, and (See Note "B" on page 2) ► 110 degrees, or better, horizontal vision in one or ► 70 degrees, or better, horizontal vision. ► 20/40 or better vision in each eye both eyes. If vision is limited to only one eye, 40 degrees or better ► 140 degrees or better horizontal vision temporal and 30 degrees or better nasal are required.

PROLOGUE

In recognition of the need to protect the public from unnecessary hazard and inconvenience, the Virginia General Assembly authorized the Department of Motor Vehicles to promulgate rules and regulations to govern the movement of vehicles and loads which exceed legal limits. Formal training and certification is required for drivers who provide escort services for overdimensional movements. Promoting safety, giving the traveling public advanced warning of the overdimensional load and ensuring the safe passage of the movement itself are the byproducts of the training and certification.

The purpose of this manual is to provide information, including rules and regulations, legal requirements, safety suggestions and reminders that should be helpful to those who conduct escort operations on the highways of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

An understanding of the provisions of this manual and other safe driving rules is essential for certification as an escort vehicle driver in Virginia. These should also be prerequisites for employment as an escort vehicle driver by firms engaged in transportation of overdimensional loads in Virginia. Failure to provide certified escorts when required by permit is a violation of state law and convictions carry stiff penalties.

Keep a copy of this manual in your escort vehicle as a handy reference.

FOREWORD

This manual was initially prepared by the Transportation Research Council. The contents of the manual and the certification program have been reviewed and approved by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. The information included is based on research conducted by the Transportation Research Council, a review of state traffic laws, and regulations promulgated by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

VIRGINIA RIDER TRAINING PROGRAM

POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Overview

The Department of Motor Vehicles’ Virginia Rider Training Program was established in 1984. In 2004, the Virginia General Assembly passed a law mandating that all motorcycle rider safety training sites be licensed by DMV.

Mission

To operate a Motorcycle Safety Program that administers the laws set forth in the Virginia

Code providing superior training, supporting secure licensing, and saving lives by reducing motorcycle crashes, injuries, and fatalities in the Commonwealth.

Curriculum

1. The current DMV‐approved curriculum for basic rider training is the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Basic RiderCourse (BRC) and Basic RiderCourse 3‐Wheel (3WBRC). Each participant enrolled in a BRC must receive no less than the minimum number of hours of

classroom and on‐cycle instruction as specified in the current approved curriculum. Basic rider training will include a module on the effects of alcohol and other drugs on motorcycle operations and a thorough review of Virginia laws and rules of the road applicable to motorcycles. All basic rider course participants will be given the opportunity to download a copy of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic RiderCourse Rider Handbook and a copy of the Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual, available at DMV Customer Service Centers. During on‐ cycle instruction, the student ratio will follow the guidance of the approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation curriculum, unless otherwise provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Training sites must operate in accordance with the approved MSF ranges and comply with all guidelines provided in the MSF range approval letter.

1

--- Page 2 ---

2. The current DMV‐approved curriculum for experienced rider training is the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic RiderCourse 2 or the Basic RiderCourse 2u. BRC2 LW (License Waiver) Each participant enrolled in a BRC2/BRC2u BRC2 LW training class must receive no less than the minimum number of hours of classroom and on‐cycle instruction as specified in the current curriculum. All BRC2/BRC2u BRC2 LW classes will include a module on the effects of alcohol and other drugs on motorcycle operations and a review of Virginia laws and rules of the road applicable to motorcycles. During on‐cycle instruction, training sites must operate on approved MSF ranges and comply with any restrictions defined in the MSF Rider Education

Recognition Program (RERP) for instructor‐ student ratio, and limits on the number of motorcycles allowed to operate on the range.

3. When a student has successfully completed the BRC, BRC2 LW, or the 3WBRC, the site will issue a Safety Course Completion Certificate, TSS 97. This form exempts the student from completing both the motorcycle knowledge exam and the road skills exam.

a. If the student is 19 or older, the course completion certificate will act as a temporary "M2" or "M3" classification when carried with their driver's license, which will allow the student to operate the appropriate motorcycle for 30 days from the course completion date. After the initial 30 days, the student will not be authorized to operate a motorcycle until the motorcycle designation is added to their license. Certificates are valid for a period of one year from the date of course completion.

b. If the student is under 18, and possesses their completed TSS 97 form, they must do the following to add a Class "M", "M2", or "M3" designation to their current driver's license:

1. Pass the required vision screening.

2. Obtain and hold a motorcycle learner's permit for 9 months.

3. Present their Safety Course Completion Certificate, DMV Form TSS 97, within one year of completion of the course.

4. The current DMV‐approved curriculum for basic three‐wheeled motorcycle training is the MSF Basic RiderCourse – 3 Wheel (3WBRC). Each participant enrolled in a 3WBRC motorcycle training class must receive no less than the minimum number of hours of classroom and on‐ cycle instruction as specified in the current curriculum. All 3WBRC’s will include a module on the effects of alcohol and other drugs on three‐wheel motorcycle operation, and a thorough

review of Virginia laws and rules of the road applicable to three‐ wheel motorcycles. During on‐ cycle instruction, training sites must operate in accordance with the approved MSF Rider Education Recognition Program (RERP) for

2

--- Page 3 ---

instructor‐student ratio and limits on the number of motorcycles allowed to operate on the range.

5. All course participants must wear the following protective gear during on‐cycle instruction:

a. A lawful motorcycle helmet. b. Eye protection.

c. A pair of boots or shoes that cover and protect the ankles and feet. d. A long‐sleeved jacket or long‐sleeved shirt and long pants of denim or other material of equivalent durability.

e. A pair of full‐fingered gloves of leather or other material with resistance to abrasion.

Virginia Rider Training Program License Application Process

No person or entity may operate a motorcycle training site in Virginia without obtaining a license from DMV. Applicants for a Virginia Rider Training Program license may apply for either a reimbursed license or non‐reimbursed license. Commonwealth of Virginia state or local government education agencies are eligible to apply for reimbursed licensure. Private individuals, entities, or companies are eligible to apply for non‐reimbursed licensure. DMV determines the number of reimbursed licenses issued and or renewed based on the training site meeting the requirements established by DMV, regional demand for basic rider training, and availability of funding. Those licenses issued or renewed for providers of training courses that do not require reimbursement are awarded based on the training site’s ability to operate a training site to meet the requirements established by DMV.

Any applicant denied a license will, upon his or her written request made within 30 days of the Commissioner’s action, be given a hearing at a time and place determined by the Commissioner or his or her designee. All hearings under this section are public and will be held as soon as practicable but in no case later than 30 days from receipt of the hearing request. The applicant may be represented by counsel. Any applicant denied a license may not apply again for the same type of license for 180 calendar business days from the date of denial of the application.

Reimbursed Training Site

All invoices must be emailed to; accountspayable@dmv.virginia.gov. and to the DMV Motorcycle Safety Training Site Coordinator. Reimbursed sites may apply for direct deposit through the following website: https://www/doa.virginia.gov/forms.shtml#edi

3

--- Page 4 ---

Non‐Reimbursed Training Sites

Applicants must complete application form TSS 96 (link to tss96) and submit all necessary documentation requested to, The Department of Motor Vehicles, Motorcycle Safety Training Site Coordinator, Office 405, 2300 W Broad Street, Richmond VA 23269, or email documentation to the Motorcycle Safety Training Site Coordinator.

Other Training Site Obligations

1. Each training site must operate within the approved MSF Rider Education Recognition Program (RERP) guidelines and must possess and or have access to, classroom, range, storage facilities, and equipment. A training site’s facilities and equipment must be approved by DMV and include the following: a. A classroom for the presentation of the off‐cycle instructional portion of the novice, experienced, and three‐wheeled motorcycle rider courses. b. A paved range area for the on‐cycle portion of the novice, experienced and three‐ wheeled motorcycle courses consistent with the minimum range requirements established by the DMV‐approved curriculum used in the course. c. For those agencies, organizations, businesses, and individuals that apply to receive reimbursement, the facilities must have adequate storage to protect motorcycles
