    MPI will centralize written driver's license testing, closing sites in over 25 rural communities. This includes closing test sites in more than two-thirds of towns west of Portage la Prairie. Local insurance brokers have voiced concerns over the cutbacks, saying there is high demand for testing services. The move means people will have to travel longer distances to cities like Brandon or Dauphin to write their tests.
