Part 1: California DMV - Driving Tests #0 Kyle's Drive Test
Before we hit the road, let’s make sure tour car is safe. Before we hit the road, let’s make sure your car is safe. Why don’t we get in? Kyle just finished the project for his high school media class. The project is video about how to pass the driving test. His class mates went for a drive with a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) examiner to learn about the rules of the road. The examiner gave them a lot of information. Kyle learned a great deal while editing the project. He was so confident / that he scheduled an appointment to take his driving test / as soon as he turns to sixteen.
Let’s see how he did.
OK, turn off your engine, please? So how did I do? Well, you made a few mistakes.
Mistakes? But I learn so much (in) making the video and I studied the DMV handbook.
Studying the handbook is great, and I really enjoy the video by the way. But there is more to be a driver. You need to be able to apply your knowledge behind wheel. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. So, I passed, though, right? Well the mistakes you made weren’t serious, but you did make more than what is allowed you to passing. I’m so sorry Kyle.
- I learn so much (in) making the video. He’s chatting a lot about some useless gossips (in) working together.
- apply your knowledge behind wheel. He becomes the Hulk when he takes a handle. handle = handle He becomes the Hulk when he sits behind wheel. steering wheel. He becomes the Hulk whenever he takes a steering wheel.
이 handle. Can you please take my handle with you? Hand phone/ cell phone Where is your cell phone? Can I call to your cell?
I didn’t pass? I can’t believe it…. What happened? There is just something you need to work on and you know what? We can go over them right now if you like, and it will really help on your next test. Yeah, I guess I get use to help. I’ll tell you what, while you’re making your video, we made one, too. We’ll talk to DMV examiners why some people don’t do well in driving tests. And it turns out there is some common mistakes like ones you made. So we take a look? Yeah, sure, I’m ready. OK. Let’s go.
Part 2: California DMV - Driving Tests #1 Unsafe Lane Change
I was in an accident one time, and it was for changing lanes. The young lady that I took out / failed to check her blind spot. And she signal, she looked in the mirror, but she didn’t see the car in the blank spot. And me and she, we ended up in a little fender-bender.
There are three things you gotta do when change lanes. You have to do in that order because there is certain procedure. You let you signal run, and while it’s running, you look in your mirror, then when you make sure there’s nothing there, you merge over and you’re safe.
- And me and she, we ended up in a little fender-bender.
a little fender-bender:
- There are three things, there’s three things
A lane change should be just the really simple thing: you have your blinker on, you look in the mirror, you look over your shoulder, and you did everything right, and you see that there’s a vehicle there, well then turn your signal light off, go down the road, try again later, it’s that simple.
Sometimes, you can be doing a really great job even though you have the signal, you’re telling everybody what you’re doing next, the other guy just may not care.
And he might (be) going anyway. Before you know it, you’re trying to avoid sides wiping vehicle that’s there. If an applicant approaches to right turn, there is the bicycle lane, and they’re approaching, they have their signal on, they’re just looking straight, they don’t look in the mirror, they don’t look over the shoulder that is critical error.
If they approach a left turn, entering the center left turn lane, and a signal that’s all they do, before they enter they don’t look, that’s another critical error. So those will automatically cause into fail.
- what you’re doing next, the other guy
- avoid sides wiping (side scratches, or scratching sides)
Any lane change requires that you: (1) Signal, (2) check your mirrors, and (3) check your blind spot. This includes merging into another lane when your lane ends. Leaving a curb, when pulling into traffic, merging into a bike lane, or merging into a center turn lane.
