When using the magnetic strip, should the picture on the driver's license face the operator?

When using the magnetic strip on a driver's license, the correct procedure is for the picture on the driver's license to face the operator. This orientation ensures that the operator can easily verify the identity of the individual being tested, as the photograph provides a visual confirmation of the license holder's appearance. Additionally, orienting the license in this way helps facilitate proper reading of the magnetic strip by the device, as it is designed to operate effectively when aligned correctly. This practice is essential for ensuring accurate identification and adherence to standard operating procedures during testing.
