Bike lane is automatic marked down as dangerous move, if you fail to look completely over the shoulders before merging to bike lane to make a right turn …always signal first then look over shoulders! all the best in next test! 👍
After 2 fails I finally got my license, without having to retake the test. It's pretty easy for the evaluator to fail you for simple mistakes so keep your head up if it happens. Failure doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver. Keep practicing and go at it again. But for me I took a step further by contacting a private license and professional dmv agent that helped me to write a provisional letter to bypass the test drive and i was given a provisional driver's license which will last for 12 months. I got a license now and it will serve for 1 year then I renew again,works in all states. My little advice. * If you think are too nervous for the test drive then you can easily switch to a provisional driver license which you won't need to test drive. A provisional licence is not very different from an official licence.
I want to consider switching to a provisional license and skip the test too, how can I contact The agent or yourself. Your response would be very much really appreciated
As someone who has become very comfortable with driving I have picked up a few bad habits that I need to break before my test next week, my biggest fear is swerving slightly when checking my blind spot and switching lanes
I failed my test the first time (04.13) because I was going 32 in a 25 + I forgot to put on my turn signal when I was turning out of the parking lot , but I went back a week later (04.22) and PASSED! I was so happy. I watched these videos months before my test date and I loved each and every one of them. Good luck to everyone taking their test soon! Don’t be nervous , show them who’s boss :)
took my test a few days ago. i was scared to turn right on red so we waited at the red light for 3+ minutes... i was scared the examiner was going to fail me for that, but it wasn't a critical error. passed with only 4 deductions!
@@spiralations7304 I believe the 3 markdowns are only for the pre-driving checklist where you identify your vehicles controls. While driving you can make no more than 15 errors but no critical errors in CA.
I can’t stop watching these. Hopefully I remember what I learned along with from practicing driving and that I don’t fuck up during my test in July 😩 I’m so nervous Edit: my drivers test is July 18, 2022 😬
Hi, I just want to thank you. I passed my actual test yesterday 1st take and I took this same route. I’ve watched most of your vids and I must say that it helps a lot. With all your tips it was very very helpful. Thank you for what you do. More power!
Just wondering. I think the reason she didn’t occupy the entire lane was because she didn’t think she could’ve fit. So if we were in her shoe, would we have just not gone into the bike lane and stayed in our own lane until we needed to take the turn, check our blind spot and mirror, go into the bike lane, and then take the turn?
I took my driver’s test at this location yesterday (Fremont, CA) and passed! Watching this video before I took my test helped a lot. I took a similar route to this person. Also for some reason I wasn’t required to do reverse/backing testing, I think I just tested during a busy day so the instructor skipped that part.
I took my test on 10/21 and passed it. Towards end of test I had to contend with a bicyclist, which made me a bit nervous but I and the drivers behind me all moved to the lane to the left of the bicyclist so we could increase our speed. My instructor was pleased with my signalling, lane change, keeping enough distance behind bicyclist, etc.
Just passed my driving test yesterday on my fourth attempt. Best wishes to everyone taking/retaking the test. Always remember to breath and YOU GOT THIS!!!
im taking my test this friday. ive been practicing for a really long time and i am watching a bunch of road test videos to get a good idea of what will happen. i believe i will pass but i am still very nervous when i think about it.
@@kendrawaybright5958 not too bad. Just make sure you practice so it becomes second nature. At least on mine I got 2 chances. I failed the first one but did the second fine, just make sure you relax and don’t think too much
I have mine on May 24th so nervous but I think it will be fine. Wish me luck!! Yay!! I passed, mine was super easy, just got points taken off for not checking my mirrors enough, good luck to everyone taking it
I did the opposite of what everyone told me to do. I was an older adult, I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, had just split up with my live-in gf of 15 years (she chose career over relationship) so I was an emotional wreck, and it was raining. I had everything against me and I could feel a panic attack coming on as I was waiting for my name to be called in the waiting area. I stopped myself, convinced myself that there was NO WAY I was going to pass with everything working against me. As a result of accepting I was already going to fail when I got behind the wheel, I was able to focus on driving instead of "not failing" and it felt like I was just doing my practice runs with my sister. I was even talking about restaurants with the evaluator and my instructor as a witness (not a family member) the entire time. I had one instance where a car was speeding around a blind curve and I was able to see it coming and react before anyone else did and that impressed them both. I had a hickup when I was parallel parking and they could tell I was getting anxious. So the evaluator gave me a second crack at parallel parking but instead of pulling out and starting over I looked around, and corrected my position, then proceeded with the parking as normal and he told me I passed. He was particularly impressed with how i could take a bad situation and navigate it with excellent reaction time. So now I have my license (and my ex-gf still doesn't have hers). 😁 I even took my test in the rain and passed!
I’ve been watching up until this point!! I take mine tomorrow morning and I feel these are really helping me better understand what the test is really like! Good luck to myself!
I passed my test last week on my first try and on the last day to take my test!!!! These videos really helped me and a lot of practice behind the wheel..
I passed my test last year in march. I was nervous & had a lot of anxiety before the test. I had prayed before the driver instructor got in the car. But guess what god answered my prayer. Soon as we began I didn’t have a ounce of nervousness or anxiety in my body. Just be cool & relax. You will pass. Amen 🙏🏽
@@crispcris3198 Yeah me too, but I guess it depends on your age. Also you can try and book an appointment online to see if it lets you which in my case it did.
You're just doing a quick look over you're shoulder. You're not going to be looking over You're shoulder for no mins..jus a quick check to make sure no cars are there then u turn bck to looking in front of you
Got my license today. Second attempt, passed with 4 minor errors. Learnt a lot from your channel and thank you very much. Best for all new drivers on the way passing their road tests
I failed twice, the first one because she say i didnt see my mirrors when i was going backwards. Second one because of bike line. I just passed today so im happy
I failed my test due to some idiot on the phone blowing a stop sign and the instructor had to intervene by pushing the horn for me but i used the breaks. i personally dont think that shouldve failed me but whatever im going to try again.
i passed at this location today! treated the bike lanes as if they were regular vehicle lanes when i was preparing to turn right. didn't get marked down once for the four times that i did it.
In California, if you’re taking a right turn and cannot fit into the bike lane safely, you should wait behind the last car at the red light until it’s safe to proceed. You aren’t required to enter the bike lane if it would be unsafe or impossible to fit. Here’s how to handle the situation during a behind-the-wheel test: Wait if necessary: Since there was a red signal and a car in front of you, remain stopped behind that car rather than forcing your vehicle into a bike lane. Prepare to merge only if safe: If space opens up closer to the intersection and traffic allows, you may then enter the bike lane (if the dotted lines appear) before making your right turn. California law permits merging into the bike lane within 200 feet of an intersection if it’s safe to do so. Observe the light: When the light turns green and it's your turn to go, complete your turn by checking all surrounding lanes (especially for bikes).
Just passed my driving test, y’all got this just don’t crash or drive off a cliff or rear and a garbage truck or drive into a lake and you’ll be fine (learned from experience)
not taking my test soon but starting drivers ed in about 2 months, these videos have helped calm my nerves about being behind the wheel in any sort of way, plus it’s pretty entertaining. fun to learn too.
i was pretty surprised on my test because the examiner only had me go on a busy road for a few seconds. i was in a residential area for basically all of the test. still passed first try tho!
I take my behind-the-wheel driving test today June 6, also I might add that I am 44 years old and I have never ever had a driver's license, so it's even more critical for me to pass. Thanks in advance
passed the test today at 10 am with only 2 errors at the dmv the video is in. Knowing to check the shoulder beforehand on the bike lane was really helpful as I would've probably failed also.
Took my test today May 17th 2022 and 11:20am. I passed!!!! Thank you for your videos it helped with my confidence Oh yeah 7 points deducted out of 15 first try California
my instructor always say when you turn left or right from an intersection, do not leave a space big enough for a vehicle between your car and the line/ curb/ turning point. this helped me a lot
Passed mine 3 years ago, only advice I can say is try to get as much time on the road as possible before your test and you’ll be fine, it isn’t as scary as most people think.
@@zavierrxx sorry for the late reply 😭 but apparently with right turns you have to merge and be in the bike lane to complete the turn, that’s what the person told me and why she failed me
@@zavierrxx but I actually retook my test last weekend at a new location & my new examiner didn’t mention anything about turning into the bike lane & I passed so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I was failed the same way. My instructor told me that it’s better to not merge and check than to merge and not check. regardless, in real life you need to turn into the bike line to turn.
taking mine on the 14th of sept, scary. I've been practicing with my dad but I still can't get over the anxiety and fear of running someone over or hitting other cars.
Do not worry! I had those same struggles but passed my test today. Luckily during a drive test they do not rush you take your time drive the speed limit check your mirrors and bloodspots and youll be fine
@@pedrotapia9237 thanks for the encouragement 🙏 I'll do my best. For now I've been practicing at least 2 hours a day. My only other issue is constantly zoning out when i drive long roads 😭
I ended up failing my test on the first try because I didn't check my mirrors/blind spot when pulling into a bike lane to make a right turn (most likely at a stop sign). HOWEVER, he marked it as "intervention with examiner" instead of a dangerous maneuver like he should've done. But I do remember making a right turn after stopping at a stop sign and letting a lady cross the street I was turning into. Maybe I didn't check again when she finally crossed to the other side idk I think she was still in the bike line when I made the turn and didn't look as I was about to make the turn. WHY WOULD HE MARK IT IN THE WRONG CDE CATEGORY? I told my friend about this and he said it might've just been the examiner and having a bad day. I did have to wait over an hour and a half to finally start the driving test after arriving 30 minutes early before our registered appointment. TLDR: Failed the first time bc of forgetting to do check behind me before making a right turn when pulling into a bike lane (dashed lines) and it was marked differently.
I did a mistake at the same spot yesterday. I merged into the bike lane but stop a little bit ahead of the solid white line on a red signal. @Road Test success - Can you please upload her restest driving video if you have one. These videos are really helpful. You guys Rocks !!
Took mines a couple days ago passed I was nervous up until it was time to test it’s all in your head they want you to pass just have to show them you can drive
Other than scheduling conflicts for other testers after you, how come the instructor can't explain what they failed for and then allow them to test again directly after? Like if this video didn't end when it did but instead he said, "Are you ready to try again?" to see if she is able to correct her errors and get a passing test instead of going through the whole process of having to schedule another appointment? I could see how if they failed the NEXT attempt then they would encourage they get more practice/training before returning. Esp if it was only that one error that failed instead of multiple ones.
I failed my first driving test because of the bike lane error. The bike lane was narrow, and there was no sign or mark on the ground. When the examiner told me I failed because of a bike lane error, I had to ask the examiner, "What bike lane? Where was the bike lane?" Be cautious of the bike lane in the City where you drive.
So glad they are teaching this on the drivers test. How do we update all those already out there, besides the dents my face has left on the rear passenger quarter panel?
Bruh i did a virtual test with a camera in the car with me at the warner robins dmv here in Georgia. It was pretty easy compared to having a instructor in the car and my moms next to me. She couldn't say anything or they'd fail me outright but they guided me through with her phone i just went through everything fairly easy. Got an 84 mostly because i hit the cone slightly on the reverse parking/3 point turn. Parallell parking was a breeze. Just check over your shoulder often and your mirrors when doing it. Went through some neighborhood slowly and a few turns to get back to the dmv and bam i was done! Oh and please please please signal whenever you turn!!! Thats whats gonna hit you the most. Even when backing out of a parking spot or going into a spot etc . Stop fully and a stop sign or red light and dont blow through a yellow. Stop at the yellow! No rolling stops. Look both ways before entering the road always!!!
Recently, I got into an accident after having merged to the bike lane in order to make a right turn. The other party didnt drive close to the edge and turned last minute hitting my driver door. Their insurance ended up pinning liability on me for being in the bike lane, but the law states I had the right of way. It’s sad world.
I took it again a few weeks later and passed! I received my license in the mail last week. I bought my car a few weeks before my appointment so I could practice. Now I'm zipping around town in a new Honda HR-V
i failed my test yesterday cause of a lane violation 😓 i was super nervous pulling out of the dmv and i thought it was a one way street and i turned left got into the very left lane. i failed immediately
I'm retaking my test 2/7/2023. I failed the first try this will be my second try. Failed because i did not merge and looked over my shoulder when merging into a a bike lane. Was pretty nervous. This video is pretty helpful. Thank you :) Wish me luck :)
@@beachbumbubby nope instant fail they take it extremely serious when I live. He even said to my dad that I did relatively perfect but that one maneuver was a major mistake
@@moeswife6801 im 13 and still watching these videos never can be to prepared im i right? 😃 js a quick question can you get your permit at 15 and a half?
can’t blame this new driver, bike lanes can be confusing and their not all universal, every city has different types of bike lanes. Literally today I was driving downtown and there was a bike only lane that was so wide it look like a regular car lane when I almost turned into it.
For me the examinator told the direction too late for my test they told me almost 1,000 feet before arrived the intersection and I got a woman officer so it's help with the nervous. But i'm glad at the end she passed the test and got her DL.
I really wish I saw this the first time I did my test. I failed because I didn't check before entering a bike lane. Oh well, I learned from my mistakes and passed my test today at this exact dmv! Thank you for the helpful videos and tips, especially about the bike lane and being a defensive driver and constantly scanning the road👍
mine is April 12th ... so far but I've binge watching all of your videos because I have the worst test anxiety *** UPDATE: Got switched my date and I PASSED!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Passed my exam yesterday, but i got 2 negative marks on a 4 way lane.. coz i hesitate a few seconds bfore i turn my car i was like thinking the next car on my right would go first.. As I parked the car she asked me whats the rule in a four way lane and i answered her first stop first go and yet didnt do it during the actual exam.. but thank God i passed she said i was good and all perfct its just that the four way lane.. told her thanks keep that in mind..
My second learners permit expires next month so I took my test today and passed with only 1 error. Really just exaggerated head movements at every turn. Good luck to anyone else!!!
I wanted to come on here and thank y'all for so many reasons I have been watching your videos for the past month and today was my test in the state of mass and I passed with no problem thank you thank you thank you....5/27/22
I had a lane violation today, apparently I didn't merge into the bikelane properly, just like this student. I'm taking it again on Friday at 9:20 AM. Wish me luck :')
Literally tomorrow morning and I already failed twice before. I’ve been driving from Sacramento to Stockton a lot lately with my dad so I’m praaaaying I am ready to do this. He’s a professional truck driver and he says I’ll ace it. I’ll update tomorrow 😭🤞🏽!!!
@@egebolukbas3537 yess same to you 🤗 I’m reviewing the evaluation score sheet they gave me when I failed the two times before lol. Make sure to maintain your speed look for the signs posted, check over your shoulder when turning left or right check your mirrors.. look both way and straight when entering an intersection, use turn signals when pulling away from curb and check for traffic, make a full stop behind the limit line (cross walks, stop signs etc) ,lol I am ready!!!
Ok taking my test June 2 and I’m super confident. But I usually stop a little after the white line on the stop sign and I have to be careful to not do that
My one critical error was going 22 on a 35. I was going to slow :( I saw the 35 and Idk what happen just got nervous I guess. Had one of the most easiest test as well it was just me going slow :( I thought they were just going to warn me on that and let me pass but nope. Retaking on June 16th
@@anonymousaka3655 yes I passed. I just had to adjust the speed I was going at so I don’t get another critical error. Also only got 6 wrong on the maneuvering section. Good luck on yours 👍
Bike lane is automatic marked down as dangerous move, if you fail to look completely over the shoulders before merging to bike lane to make a right turn …always signal first then look over shoulders! all the best in next test! 👍
Yup that’s how I failed my first try
Learned this the hard way 😂
Well see I just know my examinor was garbage cause this guy said I could gro through the bike lane to pass a car
Yes !!! I had everything good just didn’t check over my shoulder so it was a automatic fail 😢
Same here since my mom taught me to drive the Asian way, not the American way. 😊

Just passed my driving test, y’all got this just don’t crash or drive off a cliff or rear and a garbage truck or drive into a lake and you’ll be fine (learned from experience)
not taking my test soon but starting drivers ed in about 2 months, these videos have helped calm my nerves about being behind the wheel in any sort of way, plus it’s pretty entertaining. fun to learn too.
Enjoy the process!
i was pretty surprised on my test because the examiner only had me go on a busy road for a few seconds. i was in a residential area for basically all of the test. still passed first try tho!
My test is tomorrow and watching this video helped me become more confident in my abilities.
I take my behind-the-wheel driving test today June 6, also I might add that I am 44 years old and I have never ever had a driver's license, so it's even more critical for me to pass. Thanks in advance
Did you pass ? I just passed my Road test June 9th , 2023. I am 47 but it's not my first license.
passed the test today at 10 am with only 2 errors at the dmv the video is in. Knowing to check the shoulder beforehand on the bike lane was really helpful as I would've probably failed also.
Took my test today May 17th 2022 and 11:20am. I passed!!!! Thank you for your videos it helped with my confidence
Oh yeah 7 points deducted out of 15 first try
California
Shut up!! I took mines today too at 11am and passed, California as well. Congrats and stay safe on the road :D
@@cytscraftingcorner3463 Thanks!!!! Congrats too you too.
I took mines May 17th at 11 am and passed first try too in Michigan👏🏾👏🏾Congrats to us!!
@@sheraytruelove6866 congrats!!!!
my instructor always say when you turn left or right from an intersection, do not leave a space big enough for a vehicle between your car and the line/ curb/ turning point. this helped me a lot
Passed mine 3 years ago, only advice I can say is try to get as much time on the road as possible before your test and you’ll be fine, it isn’t as scary as most people think.
Even though I checked my blind spots & had my blinker on I still failed because I wasn’t turning in the bike lane & it seriously pissed me off 💀
I wasn’t even aware this counted as a lane violation until my instructor told me after the test 😭😭
wait repeat this please? how was this a mistake how did u merge
@@zavierrxx sorry for the late reply 😭 but apparently with right turns you have to merge and be in the bike lane to complete the turn, that’s what the person told me and why she failed me
@@zavierrxx but I actually retook my test last weekend at a new location & my new examiner didn’t mention anything about turning into the bike lane & I passed so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I was failed the same way. My instructor told me that it’s better to not merge and check than to merge and not check. regardless, in real life you need to turn into the bike line to turn.
taking mine on the 14th of sept, scary. I've been practicing with my dad but I still can't get over the anxiety and fear of running someone over or hitting other cars.
Do not worry! I had those same struggles but passed my test today. Luckily during a drive test they do not rush you take your time drive the speed limit check your mirrors and bloodspots and youll be fine
@@pedrotapia9237 thanks for the encouragement 🙏 I'll do my best. For now I've been practicing at least 2 hours a day. My only other issue is constantly zoning out when i drive long roads 😭
Good luck!!
i take mines on the 14th too! good luck
@@jaybands8147 good luck, hope we both pass.
I ended up failing my test on the first try because I didn't check my mirrors/blind spot when pulling into a bike lane to make a right turn (most likely at a stop sign). HOWEVER, he marked it as "intervention with examiner" instead of a dangerous maneuver like he should've done. But I do remember making a right turn after stopping at a stop sign and letting a lady cross the street I was turning into. Maybe I didn't check again when she finally crossed to the other side idk I think she was still in the bike line when I made the turn and didn't look as I was about to make the turn. WHY WOULD HE MARK IT IN THE WRONG CDE CATEGORY? I told my friend about this and he said it might've just been the examiner and having a bad day. I did have to wait over an hour and a half to finally start the driving test after arriving 30 minutes early before our registered appointment.
TLDR: Failed the first time bc of forgetting to do check behind me before making a right turn when pulling into a bike lane (dashed lines) and it was marked differently.
re: bike lane @6:15 you mentioned enter up to 200 ft, but diagram @15:10 says 100 ft...
I wonder why they don't just have dotted lines indicating the start of 200 foot mark?
Woohoo just passed my driving test I’ve been binge watching your videos to prepare thank you so much!!
Great job! Glad to help!! Congrats!
I did a mistake at the same spot yesterday. I merged into the bike lane but stop a little bit ahead of the solid white line on a red signal.
@Road Test success - Can you please upload her restest driving video if you have one. These videos are really helpful. You guys Rocks !!
Took mines a couple days ago passed I was nervous up until it was time to test it’s all in your head they want you to pass just have to show them you can drive
Other than scheduling conflicts for other testers after you, how come the instructor can't explain what they failed for and then allow them to test again directly after?
Like if this video didn't end when it did but instead he said, "Are you ready to try again?" to see if she is able to correct her errors and get a passing test instead of going through the whole process of having to schedule another appointment?
I could see how if they failed the NEXT attempt then they would encourage they get more practice/training before returning.
Esp if it was only that one error that failed instead of multiple ones.
scheduling conflicts
I got my license 😮💨💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❗️❗️❗️
This was extremely informative and is something I didn’t know awesome video!! At my local dmv the examiners are rude and nasty so im a little afraid
I failed my first driving test because of the bike lane error. The bike lane was narrow, and there was no sign or mark on the ground. When the examiner told me I failed because of a bike lane error, I had to ask the examiner, "What bike lane? Where was the bike lane?" Be cautious of the bike lane in the City where you drive.
So glad they are teaching this on the drivers test. How do we update all those already out there, besides the dents my face has left on the rear passenger quarter panel?
Thank you soooooooo much!!!! I passed my driving test and your videos helped me a lot, blessings and thank you for all the videos
Bruh i did a virtual test with a camera in the car with me at the warner robins dmv here in Georgia. It was pretty easy compared to having a instructor in the car and my moms next to me. She couldn't say anything or they'd fail me outright but they guided me through with her phone i just went through everything fairly easy. Got an 84 mostly because i hit the cone slightly on the reverse parking/3 point turn. Parallell parking was a breeze. Just check over your shoulder often and your mirrors when doing it. Went through some neighborhood slowly and a few turns to get back to the dmv and bam i was done! Oh and please please please signal whenever you turn!!! Thats whats gonna hit you the most. Even when backing out of a parking spot or going into a spot etc . Stop fully and a stop sign or red light and dont blow through a yellow. Stop at the yellow! No rolling stops. Look both ways before entering the road always!!!
Recently, I got into an accident after having merged to the bike lane in order to make a right turn. The other party didnt drive close to the edge and turned last minute hitting my driver door. Their insurance ended up pinning liability on me for being in the bike lane, but the law states I had the right of way. It’s sad world.
Why did u pull up to the side of them ? Treat it as if he was in the bike lane too
In this scenario, what would be the right thing to do if the car doesn’t fit into the bike lane because of a car on the left??
In my experience, it’s best to wait behind the vehicle on the left then turn right when it’s all clear on the right.
I got my license 6 years ago but I like watching these for fun
This happened to me today for the same reason. I wasn't very nervous and made sure to ask at the end for tips.
I took it again a few weeks later and passed! I received my license in the mail last week. I bought my car a few weeks before my appointment so I could practice. Now I'm zipping around town in a new Honda HR-V
i failed my test yesterday cause of a lane violation 😓 i was super nervous pulling out of the dmv and i thought it was a one way street and i turned left got into the very left lane. i failed immediately
I'm retaking my test 2/7/2023. I failed the first try this will be my second try. Failed because i did not merge and looked over my shoulder when merging into a a bike lane. Was pretty nervous. This video is pretty helpful. Thank you :) Wish me luck :)
Literally me too exactly yesterday. I’m retaking 4/23/23
did u pass
Had to reschedule for this Monday. We will see. Yeah some sometimes the nerves take over. ugh. 🤞😊🤞
@@beachbumbubby nope instant fail they take it extremely serious when I live. He even said to my dad that I did relatively perfect but that one maneuver was a major mistake
@@JobiLegendsOG good luck 🍀
My test is tmr I should’ve practiced more I feel like I didn’t as much but I do have confidence tbh idk just hope everything goes good
How did it go ?
@ I failed it
@@andrewww974 dang am so sorry💔 mine is coming up in two weeks any advice 😭🥲
@@moeswife6801 im 13 and still watching these videos never can be to prepared im i right? 😃 js a quick question can you get your permit at 15 and a half?
@@Auixorrryes, the earliest u can get ur permit is 15 and a half.
can’t blame this new driver, bike lanes can be confusing and their not all universal, every city has different types of bike lanes. Literally today I was driving downtown and there was a bike only lane that was so wide it look like a regular car lane when I almost turned into it.
my test is tomorrow morning and i'm going to watch so many of your videos
Thanks for the videos. Did mine today and passed on first attempt.
Nicely done!!
I’m taking my test tomorrow and I’m confident but also incredibly nervous
Same !
🙏🏻🙏🏻
For me the examinator told the direction too late for my test they told me almost 1,000 feet before arrived the intersection and I got a woman officer so it's help with the nervous. But i'm glad at the end she passed the test and got her DL.
I really wish I saw this the first time I did my test. I failed because I didn't check before entering a bike lane. Oh well, I learned from my mistakes and passed my test today at this exact dmv! Thank you for the helpful videos and tips, especially about the bike lane and being a defensive driver and constantly scanning the road👍
Congrats on passing your test and thanks for watching!!
Hi. Did you give your exam in Davis DMV?
My test is tonight at 5:00 PM central time!
I'm pretty confident that I'll pass. I actually live on the test route 😂
pass?
mine is April 12th ... so far but I've binge watching all of your videos because I have the worst test anxiety
*** UPDATE: Got switched my date and I PASSED!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
mine is march 27 & im in the same boat !
Good luck !!!
@@Amber_K94 i passed !!
@@nataliesauls1773 congratulations
Passed my exam yesterday, but i got 2 negative marks on a 4 way lane.. coz i hesitate a few seconds bfore i turn my car i was like thinking the next car on my right would go first..
As I parked the car she asked me whats the rule in a four way lane and i answered her first stop first go and yet didnt do it during the actual exam.. but thank God i passed she said i was good and all perfct its just that the four way lane.. told her thanks keep that in mind..
Well done
April 10 is my test and I’m very nervous but confident
My second learners permit expires next month so I took my test today and passed with only 1 error. Really just exaggerated head movements at every turn. Good luck to anyone else!!!
Your videos have helped me out so much! I took my test today and passed on the first try! Thank you for your videos!
10:15 is it okay to turn right on a red like how this car did??? And are we supposed to stop look first and then go?
yes, but sometimes at the stop light there is a sign that says “no right turn on red” but if there’s no sign you should be fine!
to add to this, you must slowly creep up to check the incoming lane. don't just blast through because there is no sign prohibiting it!
I wanted to come on here and thank y'all for so many reasons I have been watching your videos for the past month and today was my test in the state of mass and I passed with no problem thank you thank you thank you....5/27/22
I failed because the same error 😢😢 second attempt next 26th, I hope don’t get to nervous, wish me luck!!
I had a lane violation today, apparently I didn't merge into the bikelane properly, just like this student. I'm taking it again on Friday at 9:20 AM. Wish me luck :')
me too :( I'm taking it again tomorrow gl gl!
You can do it!
She didnt stop on red right in first half
Then 16:14 he said lane change to the left and she turned to the right.
Literally tomorrow morning and I already failed twice before. I’ve been driving from Sacramento to Stockton a lot lately with my dad so I’m praaaaying I am ready to do this. He’s a professional truck driver and he says I’ll ace it. I’ll update tomorrow 😭🤞🏽!!!
Mine is tomorrow too! I hope we’ll both pass. Good luck!
@@egebolukbas3537 yess same to you 🤗 I’m reviewing the evaluation score sheet they gave me when I failed the two times before lol. Make sure to maintain your speed look for the signs posted, check over your shoulder when turning left or right check your mirrors.. look both way and straight when entering an intersection, use turn signals when pulling away from curb and check for traffic, make a full stop behind the limit line (cross walks, stop signs etc) ,lol I am ready!!!
@@Riaree you are ready:) I’ll try my best! Let me know the results🤞🤞🤞
@@egebolukbas3537 I passed!!!!! How about you??? Good luck if you haven’t gone yet
@@Riaree congratulations!!! I passed too!🥳✨🍾
The examiner also made a mistake instead of lane change to the right he said lane change tonleft
I came here to say I passed my test today🥳🥳🥳, your videos definitely helped me . Just be confident and you will do good :)
Great job!
I am going to take my test on Monday, I believe I’ll pass!!! And so are you too!!
Good luck young padawan. May the force be with you.
I take my test tomorrow 😬 I’m a little nervous but also decently confident
I actually passed! So just believe in yourself!! Hope you pass!!!!🥰
I passed my test. I was very nervous I could barely breathe. Had 8 errors. It was fast than expected.
Ok taking my test June 2 and I’m super confident.
But I usually stop a little after the white line on the stop sign and I have to be careful to not do that
YOU GOT THID
You got this if I can pass it anybody can
Thank you guysss
Oct24th is my test. this will be my 3rd road test. wish me luck yall!
Good luck
Good luck 🍀

@@RoadTestSuccess I sure did, passed with flying colors 🥳

Signal: Left, right, slow and stop
Check the Mirror
Don’t hit the bike lane
Over shoulder: Left and right
Try your best and good luck.
I passed my test today!!!
Congratulations
My one critical error was going 22 on a 35. I was going to slow :( I saw the 35 and Idk what happen just got nervous I guess. Had one of the most easiest test as well it was just me going slow :( I thought they were just going to warn me on that and let me pass but nope. Retaking on June 16th
Did you pass? Please let me know. God Bless.
@@anonymousaka3655 yes I passed. I just had to adjust the speed I was going at so I don’t get another critical error. Also only got 6 wrong on the maneuvering section. Good luck on yours 👍
