California DMV Driving Test Tips San Francisco

[@curry2131]

Bro, you're better than 95% drivers in SF. Hope you drive like this even after the test. Good luck!

[@BixbyLBC]

Wow, ur examiner was so cool, not intimidating he even let his seat back to put u at ease.....have to test again in a few weeks. I hope and pray I get someone even half as cool as ur examiner

[@AndyLin7777]

+BixbyLBC Precisely, He is really nice examiner ! btw, make reservation online on DMV site you'll save time instead in the waiting line. Drive safe, you will pass the test (take care of stop sign and turn your head before make turns)!

[@johnnyparker2128]

Remember when parking uphill, wheels turn towards the street, downhill wheel turn towards the curb.

[@ginnief3548]

Thanks for your video. Add my test today (Passed) My route was: - Left at the DMV exit ( Baker St) - Left on Oak St - Right on Broderick St - Right on Haight St - Right on Central St - Right on Oak St - Left on Scott St - Left on Fulton St - Left on Divisadero St - Right on Fell St - Left on Broderick ( DMV entrance)

I watched many times your driving test video before I took my first test in sf on Friday and passed, thank you

[@AndyLin7777]

Congrats! enjoy and thank you so much!

[@SebastianGomez-eo1ju]

I watched this video before my test today 09/20/22 and it was very helpful, so I just want to share my experience: when I got there the two cars ahead of me took right on baker, but I took left, make sure you practice both ways and around the dmv. I passed with two errors and almost failed because she told me to turn left in the intersection but I was in the middle lane, I knew I couldn’t do that, but my dumbass asked her if I should switch lanes, which of course was the thing to do. At the end, she yelled at me saying that she didn’t answer because that’s an immediate fail because that shows I didn’t know the rules, so don’t panic if they don’t tell you exactly what to do, just remember the rules. My errors were 1. Yield: there was a guy starting to cross the intersection but I have plenty of space so I went ahead, well that was an error, and the second one was that I turned my blinker right at the stop sign instead of 200 feet before.

[@ashishd88]

Watched your video several times before my test, and passed on my first attempt! Thanks!!

[@raymondku7811]

I got a PASS today after i watched this video, Thanks man!

[@lisalove1837]

[@fooltube9999]

Watched your video couple times, passed my test this morning on first try! Exact same route as you too! Thx for upload!

[@ProthPhenom]

Take mine in the morning. Hope I can get an instructor like this, haha. Wish me luck! Edit: Just got home. The instructor said that I did everything perfect EXCEPT for one vital thing. Not coming to a Complete stop before making a right hand turn at a red light. Which was something I had never been taught, although in hindsight, I should have known. Just treat it like a stop sign. Other than that, it was a passing test, BUT I got a fatass DQ for that mistake. So I go in again, same time next week. Not worried at all about it though, now that I know that, I got it in the bag. And for anyone wondering what they had me do. The Pre-test just consisted of, hand signals, checking blinkers, brake lights, hazards, pointing to the windshield wipers, and the E-Brake. And the actual driving test was basically just, Lane changes, and parking up to a curb then backing up about fifteen feet. Nothing to worry about. Just watch for stop signs, your blind spot during lane changes, and watch your speed. Simple.

[@AndyLin7777]

Good luck my friend! keep your mind up on some details in exam.

[@ProthPhenom]

I forgot to ever update. I went back a week later for the second test, and passed with just one error out of a possible fifteen to fail, he said. All it was was backing up, lane changes, stop signs, and a bunch of turns. Extremely simple and easy test. Just watch out for any dumb common sense critical errors like I failed to do on that first try. xb

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

ProthPhenom atleast you don't have to do parallel parking like you have to here in Texas

[@O45SEE]

ProthPhenom I read your comment and funny enough I made this same exact error... I couldn't believe it man.

[@Camromulus]

Woah, how'd you get a new test a week later? I have to wait 2 months to take one in SF and have had to wait a month between tests up north.

[@AndricMonster1996]

Great video! This will surely help on my driving test next week but mine is scheduled for Daly City DMV. Hoping I can pass this thing. By the way, may I ask what are the three errors you got on this test? Just in case for me to know and be careful with. Thanks!

[@AndyLin7777]

Im glad you like it! thanks for your supporting! By the way, Daly City is much more easier than SF city, why? cuz SF has a lot of narrow lane, even bikers. in Daly City case, you must take care of STOP SIGN, cuz you will meet a lot in residential area.( watch limited speed) on the other hand, my three errors were 1. lane choice 2. keep distance between car n car while driving 3. brake use but I think those are just commend errors for ever driver. no one is perfect right?

[@AndricMonster1996]

That's true. I practiced my driving test around Daly City and its' DMV office. It was pretty useful. I remember the speed limit and slowly stop at the stop sign always. Oh yes, for #1 that you said, do you mean "Lane changing when turning left or right?"

[@LuvableJack]

SF got so much work to do all we have in NYC is parallel parking/3 point turn

[@oldGnRrocks1]

+LuvableJack its not work, its just a course... id rather drive around for 15 minutes, than have to parallel park.

[@LuvableJack]

+oldGnRrocks1 pshhh driving is so ez is just that theres "picky" testers but either way I passed hehehe

[@oldGnRrocks1]

LuvableJack yeah, but instead of parallel parking, have to park next to a curb and back up like 15 feet. if you hit the curb, immediate fail i think... my text is next week.

[@Donutshop2365]

As a new driver, would you recommend a used car or a new car since I'm a newbie and I afraid I would break my new car.

[@AndyLin7777]

Used car is fine. I got my used car from craigslist and it works nicely. it is unnecessary to think about "accident" if you take care of every driving time. Pick a car that under your budget, air bag, clean titles, and the most important thing is you can handle with. Officially, all you need is insurance, but as a new driver, the insurance fee will be charge a little bit more than experienced driver.

naw, my test was in afternoon. lane change is a point. if director told you make a left/right turn but you were in the center. don't be nervous, pull signal, turn your head and check out blank spot, then make a lane change. But normally he/she will ask you make a lane change before turn.

the speed is depends on traffic, 35-40 is fine(Fell st. ),my opinion is if you driving "obviously slow" on clear traffic, it might show your unfamiliar, so drive naturally, dont be nervious, and keep your mind up, the limitation in residential area is 25 mph.

What was the error??

I guess one of them is that he didn't yield the man who walked slowly at the intersection, another of them is that his car was a little too close to the car in front of him when he finished changing lanes. I am not sure, this is just what I think.

[@curry2131]

2:39, He didn't check the blind spot when he was turning right. 8:35, I guess it's a little bit close to the van when he was switching the car. 12:18, He didn't yield the man who was walking slowly at the intersection. That's all what I guess because his driving was super good and it's hard to tell the 3 errors.
