I’m not sure I could pull it off in second. As many others have suggested, borrow the smallest bike you can find for the test. Part of the trouble is that I couldn’t see the front tire so I wasn’t sure exactly where I was. I had a ’84 gpz550 that I’ve been riding forever and feel very comfortable on and it still felt like a bear to get around those cones and stay in that circle at low speeds. Don’t know if using a sport bike was better or worse. He didn’t make it past the first set of zigzags before he put his foot down. The guy in front of me taking the test was on some new, shiny, larger sport bike.
THOUSAND OAKS DMV DRIVING TEST ROUTES LICENSE
The regular license should arrive in 2-4 weeks. They gave me a form to sign which is a temporary license good for two months.
The final test was just to start the bike at one end of the parking lot and accelerate while up-shifting, to the other end of the lot.Īfter that the examiner gave me a slip, I went back inside to the queue for test takes (which is nearly always empty). No second tries, and no practicing (though I suspect after hours you might be able to sneak in). If I failed at any point I don’t move on to the next test and must make a new appointment. He didn’t say anything about the rear tire, maybe there is more leeway there. the path formed by the concentric circles or the path formed by the parallel lines). Ditto if my front tire exits any of the lanes (i.e. On the second test I had to ride down between the lanes ‘slowly’ (I have no idea how slow he meant) and enter the circle in the opposite direction I entered in the last test, go around inside the circles twice and then exit using the other lane to come back.ĭuring both of these test I was informed that if I put my foot down I would fail IMMEDIATELY. On the first test I had to zigzag through the cones till I got to the circle, enter the circle and go around twice (direction doesn’t matter) and then come back zigzagging through the cones again. and the dots are cones about 10-15 ft from each other. The space between the lines is about 2ft.
The examiner directed me to ride over to the area I was to be tested in. They also asked me to turn on the left and right indicators and to use the horn (nothing about brake lights which was surprising, maybe they mix it up or he forgot). Anyway, identify the following items on my bike.ġ) Starter (they mean the starter button) Identify the following items on my bike.I really shouldn’t be telling you guys this because if there are any potential test-takers out there, and they can’t pass this portion, they (and potentially, we) are in for a world of hurt.
THOUSAND OAKS DMV DRIVING TEST ROUTES REGISTRATION
The examiner takes the papers that were handed to me inside (my motorcycle permit, proof of insurance, current registration and cover sheet from the DMV) and checks to make sure I am me, and the bike is the correct bike (VIN and all). Lucky for me I was only behind one person (who was also taking, but failing, the motorcycle driving test). There are three lanes and any one of which I was supposed to park in and wait for the examiner. From there I was given a slip and directed outside to the parking lot. I went in to the driving test window at the DMV and provided my motorcycle permit, proof of insurance and current registration. So I just took the test and some of you on this forum have voiced questions about what is on the test let me elucidate the process for you. Pardon the excess detail but I wanted to get everything down before I forgot anything. This is pulled from a post I on did on the CL Motocycle Forum a while back:
