The Marine Patrol sends in spotters to random check the testing sites to make sure that they comply with the regulations. The people administering the test have to be approved by the Marine Patrol.

I'd like to see the true facts and statistics about the "flunk" rate. I don't believe for a minute that the rental agencies flunk people on a regular basis, with the end result denying a high-profit rental. Regardless, the entire concept is a joke from a safety perspective.
