What are you required to do at CA DMV behind the Wheel test?

CA DMV: What do I need for a behind the wheel test?

• I'm 17, and will be doing the behind the wheel driving test with the DMV for my license. What would I need to bring? Also, are there any forms I will need BOTH parent signatures on? So far, I have: -Permit -Proof of Behind the Wheel drivers ed -Proof of Financial Responsibility

• Answer:

  Per the web page: Before being eligible to take your driving test you must: •Be 16 years old AND •Have held your permit for a minimum of six months AND •Have completed driver education AND •Have completed 6 hours of professional driver training AND •Have completed 50 hours of practice with an adult 25 years or older. The adult must have a valid California driver license and certify to the 50 hours of practice. At least 10 of the 50 hours must have been done at night. To take your driving test, you will need to: •Make a driving test Appointment(s) . (Driving tests are not given without an appointment.) You may also call 1-800-777-0133 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, to make a driving test appointment. •Provide proof of financial responsibility After you pass your driving test you will be issued an interim license valid for 60 days until you receive your new photo license in the mail. Check your address before you leave DMV and tell the DMV representative if you have moved or if your address is incorrect. If you have not received your license after 60 days, call 1-800-777-0133 to check on the status. Have your interim license with you to provide information when requested. If you fail your driving test, you must wait two weeks before you can take the test again. You have three chances to pass. If driver education and driver training were taken in a state other than California, DMV will accept either a To Secondary Schools Other Than California Schools form DL 33 completed by the out-of state school, or a letter on the out-of state school’s stationery signed by a school official stating that the courses are equivalent to California’s requirements. Instructional permits issued by another state are not acceptable proof. So, your permit, your proof of drivers education, the insurance card for the car you are testing in, and someone with you that is licensed to get you back home should you happen to fail the test.
