DMV Drive Test Rules - Step by Step to Pass Drivers License Exam. What's on Test & How NOT to Fail.

[@alit3221]

Thank you so much for this video. My son watched this video several times before taking the DMV test for the second time. The first time he missed 23! He was very nervous. Thanks to your video, a few months later, he missed 8 when he took it the second time! He was much calmer and more confident this time. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you.

[@DriversEdDirect]

You are so welcome! What a humbling comment, this really means the world to us and Jay. Thank you so much for watching and CONGRATS to your son on passing his test, what a huge achievement! Best of luck to you all on your lifelong driving journey, please stay safe out there!!

[@papiray9445]

Best tutorial for driving test !!! Failed my 1st attempt but watched this and passed on my 2nd . My biggest advice is if you’re turning on a red light , just wait for it to turn green don’t let any honking rush you. And if you’re gonna turn at a red light make sure to completely stop at the line before you cross , that’s how I failed my 1st time , thank you so much !!!

[@DriversEdDirect]

CONGRATS to you on passing! That is a great tip for other test takers and drivers! Safe driving out there!

[@DJDRFUNKJUICE]

I watch y'all playlist learn to drive. I wish I had this while back. But with a lot going on with my past. Now at the 35 going on 36 I am ready to take on this next journey to learn how to drive. I am watching and learning as a basic rookie upcoming driver. Going take my Permit written test May 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada. They got their test little different. 25 questions, if I get 20 right, they will stop the test and call it a pass, if I get 6 incorrect questions Is a failure. So, watching y'all video playlist in California it reminds me the fundamentals of drivers in the West Coast. Keep up the great work Drivers Ed Direct Driving School. I will keep watching and listening. Stay Blessed peace.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

21:03. But if the examiner requests you to make the right on the red light, I would think that may be considered “intervening”, which may be a critical error. I wish they knew their handbook better, which you showed states that not turning a right on a red is not illegal. Great video

[@DriversEdDirect]

I hear you, that's a tough call! The main thing is, IF your decide to make a right turn on red, then you must be 100% certain you are being safe and not impeding any pedestrians or cross traffic. That's why we say to just wait for the green light if you can, it really reduces the chance of an auto fail. With that said, we have had a few students who told us that the DMV examiner asked them to make the right on red (maybe they were tired of waiting, or maybe a long line of cars was lining up behind them). Even if the DMV examiner asks you to do a right on red, you have to make sure it is safe and only go if you know it is safe and legal. And the examiner shouldn't count it as "intervention" becasue they are more just telling you to go for convenience - remember, there is nowhere in the DMV handbook or vehicle code that says you have to make a right at a red light.

Have a new road test scheduled today and I have high hopes. My first one was a bad experience and the examiner was a walking “auto” fail type (sorry not all of them are there to help and will ding you for everything just for the jollies). Any examiner who tells you to change lanes while traveling at 45 mph about 100 feet from an intersection is not your buddy. I was taught that changing lanes in an intersection is dangerous. Your videos have been so helpful in prepping for all of this, especially the ones for the permit written test. Thank you so much.

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello! You can take the test in someone else's car as long as they have valid registration and insurance, and of course the car needs to be in good working order too (the examiner will observe your tires, lights, horn, etc. to make sure everything is safe and working). Some of our students also hire us (as a driving school) so that they can take the DMV drive test in our car. Hope that helps!

[@shakeetagarrett796]

In Michigan we don't have a DMV. It's called the Secretary of State. They no longer administer Road test just Written test. They do contract with Private test sites. Most of these sites offer rental cars for a small fee. That's what I did 6/9/23 had a great car. I also passed.😊.

good evening I have a question please I have the driven test next week the car where I am going to take the test the owner will not be present she has an emergency does her friend have a driving license she can go with me to pass the test without problem thank you

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello! The requirements for who can accompany you to the test can vary depending on whether it's a provisional or non-provisional test, as well as where you’re taking it. However, most places require that the person accompanying you be a licensed driver. If the car owner cannot be present, it’s usually acceptable for someone else with a valid drivers license to be with you. Additionally, make sure the car is properly insured and that you have all necessary documentation, as the examiner will need to verify that the car is registered and insured.With that said, it’s important to check with your local DMV for specific rules. They might have requirements about who can be with you during the test and whether they need to be the car owner. To get the most definitive answer I would suggest: 1) Go to www.dmv.ca.gov/ 2) Click "Ask DMV" link on the bottom of the screen 3) In the question box, type "rep" You can then speak to a DMV agent over chat and they can answer your question with 100% accuracy. This option is actually pretty fast. The DMV can also be contacted via phone: [phone] TTY 1-800-368-4327 Best of luck on your test!! Hope that helps!!

[@myag1661]

I understand what you mentioned about right turn red light, but applying to the test, how will i know what will be the best to pass this part of the test? Meaning the driver instructor will say: Ahead of time: Make a right turn in the next light or street, you can cross it on red when safe. Or Make a righ turn in the next ligth or street, and then you get in the stop, so the instructor then will say go on red when safe. Or Make a right turn in the next light or street, and not say anything else ( and i have to decide to turn after full stop and when is safe or wait for the green light to go) but i might get in trouble, either for going on red, or maybe because when im still waiting for light to turn green, am holding traffic and i will get in trouble as well. Blessings. Please if you can help and thank you.

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello, I understand your concerns! The main things to remember are: 1) You do not HAVE to make a right turn on red. The examiner really shouldn't ask you do do it, but maybe if they are in a hurry, or if there are many cars behind you and they don't want to get honked at. But usually, the examiner won't ask you specifically to make a right on red. They'll just say "make a right at the next light" and then it's up to you to make a safe and legal turn. 2) If you do make a right on a red, just make sure you do it safely and legally. Practice them ahead of time so that you are comfortable doing them without impeding any traffic or pedestrians. Hope that helps and best of luck to you!

[@myag1661]

Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it the help. I do have another concern. I see you guys mentioned about, if the case is that you get asked for a right turn, and that street has a bike lane that is solid and dotted at the end of the corner, crossing this bike lane, I understand to move to it, you have to do it, SMOG, only move in the bike lane at the dotted part , to be able to get to the corner to make the turn. BUT, I have seen videos and by others sites and manual Information adding that, you can get in the solid line before the dotted 200 feet before the corner to turn, to avoid holding traffic behind, some Instructors I guess they minus points for not doing that, but they did say it like has to be that way. So I'm so confused. One thing is you have to follow the rules of geyt in the bike lane only in the dotted area for that right turn. I MIGHT GET IT WRONG in the test. Other thing, is you can, I guess, you can get in the solid before the dotted, for 200 feet before the right turn, YOU CAN, BUT you don't have to? Because I might get it wrong on the test. Please, hope for your help. Thank you again so so very much.

[@DriversEdDirect]

@@myag1661 Hello! In California you should not cross a white line in most situations. However, CA Vehicle Code allows you do enter a bike lane up to 200 feet before your turn, so you may technically cross over the solid white line to enter the bike lane if needed. Ideally, you should wait for the white line to become broken because crossing a solid line is highly discouraged even when legal, however (as you mentioned) there are some situations where it is unavoidable when entering a bike lane prior to turning - just make sure you are within 200 feet of the intersection. Hope that helps!

Hello! Regarding uncontrolled T intersections, can I stop at the right turn quickly (a quick stop) to check the traffic on through road or I should be keep moving (ex: while taking right turn keep moving and check for the traffic at the same time) without any pause in the driving. Thanks

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello! Great question! We want to treat a "T" intersection as if it has a yield sign. You want to slow down and be ready to stop if necessary for traffic or pedestrians who have the right-of-way.

If children are present on the playing field that is fenced should I slow down to 25 mph and if there is unfenced or gate open on the field and children are playing there what are the speed rules ?

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello again! If all children are within a fenced area (for example, within a fenced playground), then you do not necessarily need to slow down to 25mph. However, if any children are outside of the fenced area and walking on the sidewalk, waiting at the cross walk, etc., then you should slow down to the 25mph school zone speed limit. Hope that helps!

Hello from Drivers Ed Direct! If you are making a right turn at a GREEN light, you do not have to stop at the limit line before proceeding. You do have to yield to pedestrians and any traffic already in the intersection, but if everything is clear, you can just make your right turn without stopping first. Hope that helps!

So what is the speed limit around school when it says 25 unless children are present -when they are not present? Still 25 or more ? Btw CHP says to always assume like children are present and drive 25 around school for children safety . But you said it’s critical error to slow down if there no children around .

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello, great question! I know this can be a confusing one, and we 100% agree that you should always be alert and scanning the road for children, and especially around school zones you need be extra alert for the potential of children being present. However, consider the situation where the normal speed limit is 45mph but there are absolutely no children present. If you unnecessarily slow down to 25mph, you are driving MUCH slower than the flow of traffic and have now become a potential hazard to other drivers (or at least are impeding the normal flow of traffic). Furthermore, if the state always wanted you to drive 25mph in a school zone, they would just change the actual speed limit to 25mph instead of having a special "school zone" speed limit sign that says "when children are present": upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/SchoolZone-SpeedLimitSignAndLight.JPG Hope that helps!

I’m confused about the end. Why would I need to use SMOG when using left center turn lane when I’d fully be able to look at the oncoming traffic in front of me? It’s not like they’d be behind me

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello, great question! You need to SMOG (Signal Mirror Over-the-shoulder Go) before you make any lane change. When you prepare to move into the left turn lane, you need to check your blind spots on the left before changing into this new lane. Also, when you look over your shoulder, you scan for potential hazards that you might have to deal with when you eventually turn. For example, if you are turning left into a driveway, you want to check for pedestrians, scooters, or bicyclists that may be crossing your path. Hope that helps!

I have a questiob is it for other states or only for California for the driver test pass??

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello, we responded to your other comment but want to make sure you get the response here as well! While the test may be similar, the specific rules, maneuvers, and regulations may vary by state. We recommend checking the local DMV or their website for the specific requirements in each state. Hope this helps!

Definitely can be a tough concept, and would make a great video for us to make - we will add it to the list! Is there a particular reversing concept that frustrates you the most?

[@deontemays4859]

Ok how does it work by the way seeing you don’t have a license can you still take someones car and drive it legally to the dmv or will someone have to take you?

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello, thanks for reaching out! If you don't have a driver's license, then you cannot legally drive by yourself to the DMV and you will need to have someone else drive you there OR you can drive there with your learner permit, but a qualified licensed driver needs to be in the passenger seat next to you. Hope that helps!

I have my test tomorrow in Lancaster. I drove out there a couple days ago to get familiar, but there were little to no speed limit signs. Is it ok to ask before the test starts about what to do in this situation? What should I do in general when I am driving and cannot see a speed limit sign posted?

[@DriversEdDirect]

Good luck tomorrow!! I would recommend NOT asking the DMV Examiner about speed limits, they are testing you on how you would drive if you were all by yourself without the ability to ask for help or advice. You can usually locate posted speed limit signs right after major intersections with traffic lights. Taking a quick look at the Lancaster DMV area on Google Maps, I see that generally, the posted speed limit is 25mph on the streets with one lane in each direction, 40mph the streets with two lanes in each direction, and 50mph the streets with 3 lanes in each direction. If there is no posted speed limit, then (in California) the default speed limit in residential and business districts is 25mph. Hope that helps!

[@tylerconant2340]

@@DriversEdDirect very well, I went all over Lancaster on google maps the night before and about an hour before my test so it was fresh in my mind. I also downloaded Waze and had it open on streets that I didn’t see speed signs for.I had one error which was an unnecessary stop. I am pretty sure that occurred when he had my turn right and then left immediately in a neighborhood and I hit the brakes suddenly. Other than that he said I did an amazing job, called me a very good driver, and that was that

At 17:17 it talks about right aways at a 2 way stop. What if there is another car across the street at the stop sign signaling a left turn. Do you go first or do they?

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello and great question! In that case, whoever got there first has the right of way. If both cars arrived at the same time and both were turning left, they could turn at the same time without interfering with each-other. Hope that helps!

@@DriversEdDirect thank you dear instructor,I mean what is the differnce between them? Thank you very much for your reply.

[@DriversEdDirect]

@@abdulahadshamsi6358 Hi, thanks for clarifying! A T-intersection is a type of intersection where one road ends or terminates while intersecting another road that continues in both directions. In other words, a T-intersection is an intersection of two roads that looks like the capital letter “T”. This video will help demonstrate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi7nHtqoZmYh6M An unprotected left turn is a left turn where you do not have the right of way and must yield to oncoming traffic, like you see demonstrated here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3bHpJKuZshphdk T-intersections and unprotected left turns are really 2 different concepts. In fact , there could be a situation where you are making an unprotected left turn at a T-intersection, as you see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi7nHtqoZmYh6M Hope that helps!

If you don’t pass your behind the wheel drive test 3 times, do you have to do your permit test again?

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello! As long as your permit is still valid (not expired), you don't have to take the permit test again. If you fail the drive test 3 times, you will just be required to reapply for a DL and pay all applicable application fees again. Hope that helps!

May I ask you how many inch shoul I park along the road on the right size near to the curb ?

[@DriversEdDirect]

Yes, you may! You want to park within 18 inches of the curb. Remember: if you hit the curb on your license drive test, it is an auto-fail. If you are a little too far away, it is only 1 minor point off. So ideally you want to be within 18 inches, but please err on the side of caution. Best of luck to you!!

If I don’t park right they will fail me?I can park in left side but I can’t park in the right side 😭

[@DriversEdDirect]

Just keep practicing and you'll be able to do it! With that said, they shouldn't fail you for poor parking unless you hit something or do something dangerous. If you just park a little crooked or unevenly, they should only deduct a single point, and you can miss 15 of those and still pass. Hope that helps!

I need help scheduling my Behind-the-Wheel Drive Test, whenever I go to the DMV website and go to "Appointments" and scroll down to that area, and select Automobile, I put in the needed information, select the office I'd like to visit, but whenever I select a date and time it just says "The requested appointment is no longer available. Please try a different time.", and it's been doing stuff like this for the past week for me, I even tried calling to set up the appointment, and when they say "The earliest appointment available is (then they say it)"-something to that extent, and I select it, it says that appointment isn't available. I tried using a different web browser, and using a different persons computer as well.

[@blank3534]

For more info it is currently past 5pm, but I have tried to do this before during the times they are open, and some of the messages would say "Something is currently wrong with this appointment tool, we are away of the issue, and are urgently trying to fix it, please try again and refresh the page in a few minutes" or something to that extent, but that issue has also been persistent for awhile now.

[@DriversEdDirect]

Hello and sorry to hear you're having issues with the DMV website, seems like something is definitely off! Given you've had issues calling in, we would suggest contacting the DMV using their "ASK DMV" chat feature: 1) Go to www.dmv.ca.gov/ 2) Click "Ask DMV" link on the bottom of the screen 3) In the question box, type "rep" You can then speak to a DMV agent over chat and they can answer your question with 100% accuracy. This option is actually pretty fast and I personally prefer it to calling in. Hope that helps!!

[@blank3534]

@@DriversEdDirect Hello! Thank you for responding, I checked the issue and did what you said and found some more information, in the "How to Apply for a DL if You're Under 18 Years Old" and it said one of the requirements. is that "Have held your provisional instruction permit for a minimum of six months" I'm assuming this is the issue, because I got it in March, which is disappointing since I filled out every other requirement, but at least that just means I need to wait a bit longer! Was just hoping I could get it before I entered my final year in high school but I'll get it during it at least.
