For the CA drivers exam, what controls on the vehicle does the examiner want me to know?

Tania from Beverly Hills High: I'm taking my California drivers exam and i wanted to know before the test, what on the vehicle does the examiner want me to know?

Jonny Driving School Hello Tania, so young and nervous about passing your test. Someday when you're old and gray you'll look back and laugh (or cry if you still haven't earned your license).

Anyhow, if you are taking your in-car DMV drive test (in California), here are the pre-drive questions they will ask you:

  • Hand signals (right-turn, left-turn, slow/stop)
  • Locate windshield wiper controls
  • Locate/explain headlight control (they will probably just ask you the low-beams)
  • Locate Hazard light control
  • Locate front window defroster control
  • Set and Release emergency parking brake
  • Identify all the gears (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive)

    • Also, make sure all of your car's turn signals, headlights, and braking lights work. Make sure all of your tires are properly inflated.

    Hope that helps!

    Until next time Tania, know your pre drive test questions, but more importantly, know how to drive safely - it's the harder part of the test!
