LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentucky is offering another weekend driver's permit testing event.

More than 1,300 written permit testing appointments will be available for Saturday, Aug. 2, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The appointments will be held at 12 different locations, including Bowman Field in Louisville, Elizabethtown and more.

Appointments will be released Friday at 2 p.m. through the online scheduling portal. Applicants must be 15 years old.

KSP encourages applicants to gather the required documents ready to go before signing up for an appointment to "ensure a smooth signup process and reduce wait times" on May 17.

This comes as the state deals with a backlog of testing and appointments at its regional driver's license offices.

Gov. Andy Beshear signed House Bill 15 into law in March, allowing 15-year-olds to get their driver's permits.
