Corrected entry: Les and the other people taking their exams are shown in DMV-provided cars, with the DMV logo on them. Examinees, now as 20 years ago when the film was set, have to provide their own cars for the exam - the DMV does not (and did not) provide them. Also, the car Les uses for his exam is a stick shift car. If the DMV did provide cars for the exam (which, as stated above, they do not) they never would provide stick shift cars, which not all of the population can drive.

Correction: This was a joint program between the DMV and the school, which was available in the 80's, similar to a Driver's Education course. Les was obtaining his Learner's Permit, not his actual license (6 months with permit before getting a license), and the DMV "DID" provide "Student Driver" cars for these courses, including 5-speed manual.
