    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.

    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.

    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
      @DriversEdDirect  Год назад +15

      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.

I'm excited to say I passed. :) This was my 2nd test and the first test I didn't do well with reversing and after I didn't have my blinker right after, so the SMOG example really helped me with also going everything with my dad and sister. Only one error out of 15 😁

    I come from Thailand, and there i got my drivers license since i was 18 (I'm 35 now). The people in Thailand drive on the left side of the road because of the influence of the British.
    I just moved to the states this year and my first month here i got my instruction permit. And the next week i did the driving test and i just made one mistake by not looking over my shoulder as much as i should but i did look sometimes. That was the only mistake i made. My point is that THIS VIDEO helped me passed my driving test! (Almost perfect) 😊 i just wanted to say thank you so much Jay for your useful information! ❤

      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!

      @DriversEdDirect  10 месяцев назад

      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.

      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.

      @DriversEdDirect  11 месяцев назад +1

      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!

    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
      @DriversEdDirect  Год назад

      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!

    @myag1661 3 месяца назад +1

    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
      @DriversEdDirect  3 месяца назад +1

      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!

      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
      @DriversEdDirect  3 месяца назад

      @@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!

      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!!

    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
      @DriversEdDirect  Год назад +1

      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 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
      @DriversEdDirect  Год назад +1

      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!

In other words, a T-intersection is an intersection of two roads that looks like the capital letter “T”. This video will help demonstrate: ruclips.net/video/xgXkH4l4eQA/видео.html
