To answer the above question - you get three attempts before you have to re-apply for the license.

Thanks for the post, was good to read beforehand. In any case, thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment. I was surprised this is legal, as I always thought it wasn't. He said it is also legal to switch lanes in an intersection, since the lanes continue to be marked by imaginary connecting lines. When we returned, I asked if that was legal and the instructor said yes. I wasn't sure if that was legal, but did it anyway since I was kind of forced into it. Basically, I encountered a situation where I had to switch lanes while crossing railroad tracks. We came across a situation during my most recent drive that I had questions about once we returned to the DMV, and the evaluator cleared them up for me. Therefore, if there are any areas that you are not clear about, make sure and ask them before you start the engine. You can ask them questions BEFORE you start to drive, or AFTER, but not during. One point that you kind of hit that I would like to clarify for others: I don't believe your are allowed to ask the DMV evaluator that rides with you any questions during the test. Very glad to help - getting comments like yours makes me very happy I took the time to post! Best wishes and I hope this has been helpful. A bit of insight into what to expect should a California DMV Vision Driving Test be required. Imaginary lines connect the lane marking lines from one side of the intersection (or tracks) to the other.

This is true even if there is a bike lane.


Maybe a good question for your evaluator, to ensure you're both on the same page?Īnother area to look out for: when to look over your shoulder. The DMV video clearly says 25 MPH, but at least one person I talked with at the DMV office thought it was higher. But when we turned onto this street, the speed limit became 25 MPH because it is not marked, even though this felt even more worthy of 35 MPH than the prior street! There appears to be some confusion over what the default speed limit is in commercial zones also.
