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.
Changing lanes in the middle of an intersection or across railroad tracks is legal. I had thought that the car must remain behind the limit line until traffic was clear, but this is not the case. 
When turning left, it is legal to pull into the intersection and wait for oncoming traffic to clear, even this means you will be eventually turning left on a yellow. If there is a right turn red arrow, you CANNOT turn right on red, even if there is no "No Right Turn On Red" sign. This is true even if there is a bike lane. When turning right, you must pull over as close to the curb as possible before making the turn. The videos are pretty clear as to the situations where it is necessary, but to be doubly sure I checked over my shoulder for every lane change and turn.įinally, in preparing for this test, some driving rules I had either forgotten or never knew: 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.
