Ok retard. You are supposed to test drive the car BEFORE and AFTER the alignment regardless of if it's a digital rack or not. Please do not try and argue with me over this, the mechanic is just getting a picture of what they're doing.
Would you test drive a car after you mounted and balanced tires?
Would you test drive a car after you replace brakes to see if the replacement rotors are warped? I've had a case when the new Toyota rotors were warped from the factory. You'll just never know.
Any well trained technician knows how crucial the test drive is.
