Languages

 The knowledge test can be administered in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language.

 If an interpreter is needed for a behind-the-wheel driving test, The Department of Motor Vehicles

provides interpreters at no cost to the customer. If you need an interpreter, inform the DMV and they will schedule an appointment for a time when a foreign language or an ASL interpreter is available.

Knowledge Test Information

 The knowledge test consists of 36 multiple-choice questions. Applicants should correctly answer

at least 30 questions to pass the test.

 All information needed to pass the test can be found in the California Driver Handbook.

 The use of testing aids is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the California

Driver Handbook, cheat sheets, and/or electronic communication devices such as a cell phone, handheld computer, etc.

 The DMV utilizes an automated TouchScreen Terminal (TST) to administer the knowledge test.

 To allow for sufficient time to complete the test, knowledge tests will not be administered after

4:30 p.

 You will have three chances to pass.

  1. You may drive in a bike lane:

› No more than 200 feet before making a right turn.

If making a right turn, you may enter the bicycle lane no more than 200 feet before the corner or driveway. Drivers of motor vehicles should not enter a bicycle lane at other times.

  1. Drivers are required to obey instructions from:

› Flaggers (signal persons) at construction sites.

Drivers must obey special signs or instructions given by flaggers. They are in place to keep drivers and workers safe.

  1. If your cell phone rings while you are driving and you do not have a hands-free device, you should:

› Let the call go to voicemail.

Drivers should not use a cell phone without a hands-free device. For minors, it is illegal to use a cell phone at all while driving, except in an emergency. Even if you do have a hands-free device, it is recommended that you let calls go to voicemail while driving in order to avoid distractions.

  1. A solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line means that vehicles:

› Next to the broken line may pass.

Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. A broken yellow line next to your driving lane means that you may pass.

  1. You want to park uphill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?

› Right, toward the side of the road

When parking either uphill or downhill on a road that has no curb, you should turn your wheels so that the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail.

  1. If you are riding in a vehicle equipped with a lap belt and also a separate shoulder belt, you are:

› Required to use both the lap and shoulder belts.

If your vehicle is equipped with a lap belt and a separate shoulder belt, you are required to use both.

  1. A flashing yellow traffic signal at an intersection means:

› Slow down and be alert at the upcoming intersection.

A flashing yellow signal means "proceed with caution." You should slow down and be alert before entering the upcoming intersection, and must yield to any pedestrians, bicycles, or vehicles in the intersection; however, you do not have to stop.

  1. When driving on a multilane street with two-way traffic:

› You should drive ahead of or behind the other vehicles.

Driving directly alongside other vehicles could create a collision if the other driver crowds your lane or tries to change lanes without looking. To avoid this, you should drive ahead of or behind vehicles in other lane, rather than alongside them.

  1. What is the benefit of a space cushion around your vehicle?

› If another driver makes a mistake, you have time to react.

Keeping space around your vehicle is important to ensure that you have time to react if another driver makes a mistake. For example, extra space around your vehicle may give you time to brake or maneuver out of the way of a vehicle veering into your lane.

  1. You are involved in a minor collision at an intersection. There are no injuries and very little vehicle damage. You should:

› Move your vehicle out of the traffic lane, if possible.

After a collision, if no one has been injured or killed, you should move your vehicle out of the traffic lane if you can safely do so.

Page 5

  1. You must yield to a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog:

› At all times.

Pedestrians who use guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given the right-of-way at all times.

  1. To see vehicles in your blind spots, you should check:

› Over your shoulders.

By definition, blind spots are areas that cannot be seen using your mirrors. To check your blind spots, you should look over your shoulders.

  1. You are on the freeway and traffic is merging into your lane. You should:

› Make room for the merging traffic, if possible.

When traffic permits, you should make room to allow vehicles to merge into your lane.

  1. A flashing red traffic light at an intersection means:

› Stop before entering.

A flashing red signal means "stop." After coming to a stop, you may proceed once it is safe, observing all right-of-way rules.

  1. When you drive through a construction zone, you should:

› Pass the construction zone carefully and not “rubberneck."

To avoid contributing to chronic traffic congestion, you should not "rubberneck." That is, you should not slow down to look at out-of-the ordinary things.

Page 7

  1. If a traffic signal light is not working, you must:

› Stop, then proceed when safe.

If a traffic signal is not working and no lights are showing, you should proceed cautiously as if the intersection is controlled by stop signs in all directions.

  1. Always use your seat belt:

› When the vehicle is equipped with seat belts.

Use of seat belts is required for the driver and all passengers, including children who are over 8 years old or are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall. You must wear seat belts and shoulder harnesses even if the vehicle has airbags. If your vehicle is equipped with separate lap and shoulder belts, you must use both.

  1. Extra space in front of a large truck is needed for:

› The truck driver to stop the vehicle.

Because they are larger, trucks take longer to stop than a car traveling at the same speed. Other drivers should not pull in front of a truck and then slow down or stop.

  1. Roads are slippery after it first starts to rain. When the road is slippery you should:

› Avoid making fast turns and fast stops.

A wet, slippery road does not give your tires the grip they need, so it is necessary to drive more slowly than you would on a dry road. To reduce the risk of skidding, you should avoid fast turns or stops.

  1. When passing another vehicle, it is safe to return to your lane if you:

› See the vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror.

Before returning to your original lane after passing, you must make sure you are not dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. When you can see both of the vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to the lane.

Page 8

  1. When driving at night on a dimly lit street, you should:

› Drive slowly enough that you can stop within the area illuminated by your headlights.

You should drive more slowly at night than during the day because it is not possible to see as far ahead at night. You should make sure that you can stop within the area illuminated by your headlights.

  1. You may drive off of the paved roadway to pass another vehicle:

› Under no circumstances.

You may never drive off the paved or main-traveled portion of the road and onto the shoulder to pass another vehicle.

  1. You are approaching a railroad crossing with no warning devices and are unable to see 400 feet down the tracks in one direction. The speed limit is:

› 15 mph.

Within 100 feet of a railroad crossing where you cannot see 400 feet down the tracks in both directions, the speed limit is 15 mph. However, you may drive faster if the crossing is controlled by gates, a warning signal, or a flagger.

  1. When parking your vehicle parallel to the curb on a level street:

› Your wheels must be within 18 inches of the curb.

When parking alongside the curb on a level street, the front and back wheels of your vehicle must be parallel with and within 18 inches of the curb.

  1. When you are merging onto the freeway, you should be driving:

› At or near the same speed as the traffic on the freeway.

When merging onto a freeway, you should enter at or near the speed of traffic.

Page 10

  1. When driving in fog, you should use your:

› Low beams.

It is best to postpone driving until a fog clears. However, if you must drive in the fog, you should do so slowly and use your windshield wipers and low beam headlights.

  1. To avoid last minute moves, you should be looking down the road to where your vehicle will be in about:

› 10 to 15 seconds.

To avoid last minute moves, you should scan the road 10 to 15 seconds ahead of your vehicle. This allows you to see hazards before meeting them.

  1. You are about to make a left turn. You must signal continuously during the last ____ feet before the turn.

› 100

When making a left turn, you should begin signaling 100 feet before beginning the turn.

  1. Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in a residential area is:

› 25 mph.

Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in business and residential districts is 25 mph.

  1. You may legally block an intersection:

› Under no circumstances.

Even if the light is green, you may not enter an intersection unless you can get completely across before the light turns red. If you block the intersection, you can be cited.
