How to Schedule a Drive Test at the California DMV (Making a Drive Test Appointment at the DMV)
Beth Asks: How do you get a license test at the DMV? Can I just show up at the DMV if I'm 16?
Beth - unless you want to punish yourself unnecessarily, I recommend that you NEVER show up at the DMV without an appointment. If you do, expect long lines and the probability that you will have to come back
another day for your road test. So to answer your question more directly, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!
There are a couple of ways to make an appointment at the California DMV. As of today, March 10th, 2009, you can call 1-800-777-0133 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday-Friday, to make a driving test appointment. Or, as I always recommend, try making a driving test appointment online so you don't have to sit on hold for hours upon hours. You can schedule appointments for your DMV driving test at the official Ca DMV website. Here is that link for your convenience: Schedule a DMV Appointment
On a side note, make sure you have completed all of your drivers education requirements before scheduling your driver test. Not sure what those requirements are? Find them at the official California Drivers Training website.
Hope that helps.
Until next time Beth, schedule an appointment online, schedule an appointment over the phone, but whatever you do, NEVER go to the DMV without an appointment!
