You’ve got plenty of time to practice! Best of luck on the 22nd-let us know if you have any questions, and keep us posted on how it goes!

@@DriversEdDirect thanks 🙏🏻 I appreciate it :)

You're welcome. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for watching!

Hello, thanks for watching! While these questions are from CA tests, most of the info applies to all states. We've had several comments from other state test takers who did well on their test using these videos. However, please be sure to read your states DMV handbook for the most accurate info - especially in regards to alcohol and drug rules. Often times, the legal alcohol limits vary state to state. Hope you find our videos helpful!

Hello! Great observation! A and B do seem similar, but there’s an important distinction. A states you must not squeeze past the bicyclist, meaning you need to ensure there’s enough space to pass safely. B, on the other hand, says you may not pass for any reason, which isn't accurate because you can pass a bicyclist as long as it's safe to do so. The main point here is that while passing is allowed, there needs to be enough room-you can’t squeeze past the cyclist. Thanks for bringing this up! If you have more questions, let me know!

Thank you!

It's never too late! Best of luck!

@@DriversEdDirect haha thanks

Hello! That's a great point! It would be a good idea to check for cyclists before exiting the vehicle, and if it’s safe to do so, to fold the mirror in once they’ve exited to help prevent accidents. Thanks for your input!

That's great to hear! CONGRATS on passing!!

Hello! If you're referring to the “Licensing Needs” section, most people driving regular non-commercial vehicles, like cars or trucks, select “Basic Class C.” Even if you don't have a car yet, they're asking what type of license you're applying for and what type of vehicle you plan to drive. Let us know if that answers your question-thanks!

Hello! Thank you for your question! Solid Red light: You must stop. After you stop, you can turn right if it’s safe, and there’s no sign saying you can’t. Red arrow: You must stop, and you cannot turn at all. You have to wait until the arrow turns green. Think of the red arrow as a "hard stop" where no turning is allowed, no matter what! I hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions.

@@DriversEdDirect Yes! Thankyou that helps.

Hello there!! While these questions are from CA tests, most of the info applies to all states. We've had several comments from other state test takers who did well on their test using these videos. However, please be sure to read your states DMV handbook for the most accurate info - especially in regards to alcohol and drug rules. Often times, the legal alcohol limits vary state to state. Hope that helps and please let us know how it goes, I'm sure it will be a help to future test takers!

Understanding these scenarios can definitely help keep everyone safe on the road! Thank you!!

@@DriversEdDirect Welcome, keep doing what UR doing.

Hello! I saw you asked the question in another video but I'll put my response here so you don't miss it. Sorry to hear about that-it sounds like a tough spot to be in during your test. From what you described, it seems like you made the right move. If the light turns red and you're in the intersection, you’re required to complete your turn once it’s safe. If oncoming traffic is still coming (running the red), wait for them to clear, and then turn safely. Cross-traffic should wait for you to finish your turn before moving on their green. Just make sure it’s 100% safe before turning, but definitely complete the turn-you don't want to block the intersection or crosswalk. Without being there, it’s hard to know exactly what the examiner saw or took issue with. The DMV may fail you if they feel you waited too long or didn’t handle it safely. Best of luck on your next test, and hopefully, you won’t face another tricky situation!

@@DriversEdDirect Thanks for the reply! I've rebooked my test and hope that I don't face the same situation, but I generally feel rather confident with turns so hope it was just an unlucky day with a specific examiner.

You’ve got this! Good luck on your next test, and let us know how it goes!

Hello! Great question! When reversing, you should look over both your left and right shoulders to check your blind spots, as mirrors don’t always capture everything. Primarily, focus over your right shoulder and look out the rear window to ensure a clear view of any obstacles, pedestrians, or vehicles behind you. After checking your blind spots, use your mirrors for a wider view. Always back up slowly to give yourself time to react and stay safe. Hope this helps!

You can do it! Best of luck to you!

CONGRATS on passing the test!!

Hello! In California, typically only one parent or guardian needs to sign the driver’s education certificate (form DL 400C). If both have already signed, that’s usually fine as long as it’s clear who the signers are. For the Driver's License Application (form DL 44), if there’s joint custody, both parents would need to sign. If you want to be extra sure, you could check with the DMV for their preference. Hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions!

That's awesome, glad we could help!! CONGRATS on passing your renewal test! 🎉

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! It’s totally normal to feel nervous, but it’s great that you’re taking this step! It's definitely never too late to start driving. Best of luck on your test Friday-you’ve got this!

CONGRATS on passing your driving test! It’s normal to feel a bit unsure, especially with limited driving experience. Just take your time and practice as much as you can. Start in less busy areas and gradually build your confidence. If you have any questions or need tips, feel free to ask!

Glad it helped! CONGRATS to you on passing!! 🎉

Awesome!! CONGRATS on passing, and with zero mistakes!! 🎉
