Had a woman examiner who was incredibly kind and eased my nerves when I took mine the other day (and passed!). Thank you so much for this video, I've been practicing many variations of this route and she took me in the general direction (but not this exact route) but the video helped a LOT in at least getting an idea of the general testing areas. Again, thank you so much!
@@balakumaran9020 I don't know about folsom, but me and all my friends that I know either went to this DMV or the one on Carmichael, they have cool and reasonable instructors.
This helped so much I just passed and this video really saved me, especially the part where you make sure to stop before the sidewalk among the dmv, and making sure to yield for cars when turning left at an intersection if the light is green and not arrow green
Had a different guy and a different route but this video helped me get prepared for that area , passed on my 1st try , appreciate you for this video 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this video!! It helped me out because I got this same exact route for my test today and I passed! Me and my dad went to practice it yesterday too so I was already familiar with it.
I just took my test this morning, I passed. Second test was a success, the lady examiner was so nice. I had the same route with my first one driving test. Anw, the route in this video has changed
@@lydia-qk5yo Well i made a left turn at dmv then straight ehead, my examiner made me make a left turn on Stockton blvd street, left turn on 7th ave and then right turn on 50th st. They’re gonna let you pull over and reserve on 50th. After that right turn on 8th ave and right turn back to Stockton blvd. my examiner told me to change lane right here and then turn left into 6th ave st, turn right on San Diego way, then turn right and go straight back to the dmv
I had the same exact examiner and we went the same route you wenta also I passed as well!! He was trying to pretend he was on his phone most of the time like he wasnt paying attention but I could tell he was using his phone as a decoy to see if I was gonna be looking in my mirrors etc.
That text edit you made at around 8:52 really saved my butt. I would have just kept going on the turn, because I didn’t know you have to yield on a green light intersection. When turning left at intersection: If there is no “arrow” and only a green light at the intersection, make sure to yield If the green lighting is an “arrow” you don’t have to yield when turning left.... still traffic check and pedestrians still of course
easiest shit ever I stg. I had the same dude and the exact same route and I passed first try. He didn’t even ask me to pull over and reverse, probably because the street was full of parked cars. Thank you for the vid my man, it helped me get familiar with the route.
I finally pass my test at carmicheal Sacramento , north avenue it was much easier route, one thing driving instructor told me was to ( merge into bicycle lane when clear and signal b4 looking back over my shoulder ) I passed with 6 errors only! It was my 9th attempt behind the wheel cz 3 times I failed at Broadway behind the wheel cz of silly mistakes…so happy I’m driving now! All the best to anyone going to practice behind the wheel 🛞 stay focus and always look left and right and give way…stop and follow speed limits and traffic lights! 🚥 good luck! 🍀
I’ve noticed you said you failed because of “left turn, yield on green”, I’m guessing you were referring to 8:52 . But I don’t see the problem with your turn, were you suppose to yield to the person turning and then proceed with your turn ?
Julie Ann Lumbang Good luck!!! there are cool guys out there, I'm sure you will pass. Get plenty sleep, don't overdo yourself, think of the instructor as your Uber passenger that gives you directions to his/her distention, just obey the traffic rules while you drive, it's that simple and easy.
Courtney Woolley aww. And yes I passed!!!! My only tip for Mac Rd (south sac) is to be confident and just listen to the instructor. If they tell you to turn really late, don’t be afraid to tell them to say it earlier. Also offer them to turn on the AC, it’s been really hot here and they will appreciate the kind gesture!!
At the city in general your speed should be 40 mph, unless limited otherwise, at 2:40 it's limited to 30 mph. 9:35 it's 40 unless school children are present which the limit is 25. Each DMV has two main routes, this is one of the two for Broadway. My suggestion is that you should practice driving around this area until you become familiar with the road and signs. It does have one place that prohibits (right turn on red when pedestrians are present) and also has a couple of (Left turn, yield on green).
@@abel791 hey? So you have an idea of what street has the sign that says "no right turn when pedestrians present" I've been driving around the area for the past 2 weeks and I haven't seen that sign? I'm kinda freaking out that I've missed it and those signs tend to be small and I don't wanna Miss it
Hello my friend thank you for your video it’s help me to pass last week I meet same examiner he is a good guy if you do will in your drive for sure he will pass you. Must every one he have test he make practice in the area and must scanning the road every exam time looking over the shoulder and looking left and right every time Thank you ABE L
I did the SAME THING you did when turning right into UC Davis and he failed me because I was “in the bike lane” and was marked as a dangerous maneuver.
Just a warning to anyone who scheduled a drivers test here recently, the route has changed drastically!!! I took my drivers test there on Tuesday and had a terrible experience. The route is so hard because they take you onto crowed streets, there are cars parked everywhere, the streets are really narrow, and there were people walking in the street! Go to south sac for your drivers test instead.
@@FernandoH916 I don’t remember but you had to go on main roads on Broadway and then she took me down an alley kinda to a street that had a lot of people on it
Shireen Ahuja i made a critical error and made a left turn into the left lane instead of the right. the instructor only took me through a neighborhood and then back to the dmv (so instead of turning right out of the dmv to this video’s route, i went straight). the neighbourhood is in sierra vista park. sorry if i’m a little late b hope this helps and good luck on your test !
Hello 👋 question!! I have mine in 14 days and I’m watching this video my question is about the intersection so you have to yield on green? But what does it mean left turn” like you only yield for the ones that comes straight or for the ones that goes on turning left from the opposite direction?
Doing this tomorrow and literally about to throw up. Failed the first time because I didn’t turn immediately on the green light while leaving the dmv 😭 I got nervous and tried to turn left instead of right and when I fixed myself I stalled 🙂🤚
My driving test is on November 18 and that’s my birthday!!! I hope I get my driver license on my birthday. It looks easy tho but I can be wrong. I am nervous at the same time.
@@ang_dem_ica Well I saw examiners being taken on two opposite routes. Some going eastbound like in this video. My examiner took me westbound on Broadway and made me make a left turn unto Stockton Boulevard. Then a left turn on 7th, then a right turn on 50th and it was here were I pulled to the curve and had to go in reverse. Then moved to make a right turn unto 8th, then a right turn back to Stockton Boulevard where I then had to do a lane change to the left. After that, I don't remember the exact streets but she made me exit on a street to the left unto 7th street, left on San Diego, right on 8th, then make a right unto a street on the right that took me back unto Broadway on a right turn then just went on straight. I'd say to just practice around the area to get familiar with the streets. It isn't too bad.
Hello, asking to change lane really depends on the condition of the road. If either it's unsafe or the traffic is bad, the instructor will not ask to change the lane, but it's part of the test. I was not asked to change the lane.
Have my test on 29th at 2:40pm 4700 Broadway, hope I pass it on my first try, I hope the route is easy just like tis one…reading all the comments helps prepare for my test! ✌🏾
Must schedule an appointment for the behind-the-wheel test, can be done online, via phone, or at the DMV. The written test for a permit can be taken as walk in, but has to be before 4pm.
You help me passs for the first try thank you but he also told me I shouldn’t be look twice for shoulder check he said it too much to check and go lol but still passsss
Hi and Thanks you for this video that's very important for me because I have an Appointment this week can you help me so you make another video about left and altered site
Hanh Vo, you don't need to use any singles/lights when backing up, its own light turns on when you back up. I forgot to turn off my right single when I stopped to do the back up test. But don't forget to use the singles when pulling out or getting back to the traffic. Good luck!
@@twinsfandave the instructors for some reasons are still stuck in 1990s, they would like you to backup the old ways. Yes, I did the "360 degree check” i turned my head and shoulders to look all around the vehicle in a complete circle. You make sure there is nothing in your way or moving toward you that you may need to take into account before backing up, that is the key. Look out the back of the car over your passenger side shoulder when reversing, check your mirrors, and surroundings during the process, but don't overdo it.
The initial second appointment was a month far, but I was lucky to catch a cancellation and get it done in three days. No, you don't need an appointment for the written test, the walk-in will do, but plan to go there before 4pm as there is no written test past 4pm.
You are correct, no he did not. During rush hours or if it's not safe, the insuractors won't make you to change lanes. Turning left or right is some sort of a lane change.
Abe L I failed . Was in the bike lane too long on my right turn. I guess he meant I entered it too soon . Idk but I have to make another appointment after my vacation in December 😩 we went the opposite direction of your route I was like “wait what’s going on” in my head lmao
how far away do you have to be from the curb for the backing ? does the whole tire need to be almost in the curb or ? please help me thats my only thing I have left to learn
Midnight Wolf, the written questions were pretty easy. Yes, there was one question that I got wrong. The question was about what do you do when approaching to the uncontrolled intersection? I chose, you stop and then proceed. But, the right answer is to slow down and prepare to stop, yield to the pedestrians and bicyclists or cars thqt t arrived before you. Otherwise just slowdown and proceed. Things that will help with the written tests (obviously): - Study the DMV manual - Take the 16 mock tests on the DMV website, a lot of them are included in the official exam - There are plenty mobile apps too, but I don't recommend, they will be confusing.
These two are not included in the test and I don't know the reason. But I should say that it's important to learn both at some points in time, especially the parallel parking.
It depends on the speed limit posted at each area, mostly I was going around 30 mph, sometimes around 45 mph (25 mph is the limit for the residential area or school zones when children are present, and 40 mph is the limit inside city roads unless limited otherwise), normally going 10 miles above or below the speed limit is practiced and won't matter.
Depends on the speed limit, usually it's 40 mph in city, 25 in residential and business areas. On this particular area, i was going between 25-30, it's a safe speed to maintain during driving test.
I failed my first one for the same reason you did, can you tell me how long does it usually take to reschedule an appointment at broadway? (Mine is January and I do not want to wait that long) ;-;
Hello, there are two ways to get an early schedule, 1) try checking the website every few hours, you will catch a cancellation, I got mine four days after I failed the first. 2) Keep checking the nearby DMVs as well, sometimes you need to be willing to travel some extra miles to get it done, I know a friend who traveled 60 miles to another county to take the test. Good luck.
Your test route is absolutely devoid of any events like, pedestrians walking around (or rather jumping into streets), ambulances and emergency vehicles blazing around, no school buses, with children spilling into streets. It would be interesting to see how one reacts to such situations.
It will be a fail by default at least in my case. The instructors are not going to push you into such situations, but sometimes that happens. Better to know what to do.
@@abel791 could you give me some pointers for driving in the US (mostly Ohio state). I have driven in Europe (Germany, Slovenia, Austria, Czech, Hungary). However some pointers for US would be very welcome.
Aaliyah ... I failed on "left turn yield on green" it's a bit complicated when you start driving in USA for a month and half and I was so confused that I yielded for left too, when I wanted to move the light turned red and the instructor interfered, you know what that means!?
I have a video following a car with an instructor on board, my friend and I were practicing around that area, we just following them, I may upload that.
20 bloody minutes ????!!! Here in the UK it’s 40 minutes !!! Including 20 mins independent driving (sat nav) and 20 minutes driving follow the road signs or examiner’s directions … and include one mane-over and hill start practice or emergency stop !!!! Hundred times harder than California driving test !!
Sandy Kumar, i had the exact same thought, but I refused due to the instructor's perception of the situation, I didn't know how he would react. People don't like honking in Sac, it should be used to avoid an incident. It would have been a different situation in SF though.
Had a woman examiner who was incredibly kind and eased my nerves when I took mine the other day (and passed!). Thank you so much for this video, I've been practicing many variations of this route and she took me in the general direction (but not this exact route) but the video helped a LOT in at least getting an idea of the general testing areas.

If you made a mistake, don't afraid to admit it and ask for a second chance, It's worth a try, good luck!
What DMV office was this?? my son has an apt at the one near mac road
Marlo Lopez this is the one on broadway. I missed mine and am taking it at the Mac Road one Thursday.
@@SundevilRoadrunner thanks!!
Did he not have you do any lane changes? I may have missed them.
You are correct, no he did not. During rush hours or if it's not safe, the insuractors won't make you to change lanes. Turning left or right is some sort of a lane change.
Did you reduce speed around school zone? tks for the video
No, because the students were not present around the area at that time.
@@abel791 tks dude! I passed my test today....
@@nobs-h2q hey. Congrats! Now, drive safe.
Does anyone know the location of where this test was taken specifically? Like south Sac perhaps?
No, this DMV locates in central. South Sac DMV locates in 7775 La Mancha Way Sacramento, CA 95823
@@abel791 GRJMIGISGFSIO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! !!
Ha you drove right by my old job at UC Davis
I take mine today. God the anxiety is killing me! 😫
How did you do?
Abe L I failed . Was in the bike lane too long on my right turn. I guess he meant I entered it too soon . Idk but I have to make another appointment after my vacation in December 😩 we went the opposite direction of your route I was like “wait what’s going on” in my head lmao
@@africanhontas9737 can you describe what you mean by the opposite direction?? My test is coming up and this makes me nervous!
Is this south sac?
how far away do you have to be from the curb for the backing ? does the whole tire need to be almost in the curb or ? please help me thats my only thing I have left to learn
Zara Khan 18 inches is what the DMV manual says, just enough space not to hit the curb.
Is it south Sacramento
Question about the written test. Was there any question that stumped you? How difficult were the questions?
Midnight Wolf, the written questions were pretty easy. Yes, there was one question that I got wrong. The question was about what do you do when approaching to the uncontrolled intersection? I chose, you stop and then proceed. But, the right answer is to slow down and prepare to stop, yield to the pedestrians and bicyclists or cars thqt t arrived before you. Otherwise just slowdown and proceed.
Things that will help with the written tests (obviously):
- Study the DMV manual
- Take the 16 mock tests on the DMV website, a lot of them are included in the official exam
- There are plenty mobile apps too, but I don't recommend, they will be confusing.
Abe L thank you so much!
is this Broadway DMV?
Mudasir Aziz, yes it's.
I have passed. Same guy. He is always looking at his phone
That's probably one of his tactics
Is this the one on broadway?
Yes, it's.
Is this on Broadway ?
Yes it's
Which Sacramento DMV ?
Rob MM DMV in Broadway, Sacramento, CA
The one on Broadway
Where’s your 3 point turn and parallel park
These two are not included in the test and I don't know the reason. But I should say that it's important to learn both at some points in time, especially the parallel parking.
I failed mines on the first try and it was because of some kind of lane change it ended in like 10 min
How fast were u going the whole time?
It depends on the speed limit posted at each area, mostly I was going around 30 mph, sometimes around 45 mph (25 mph is the limit for the residential area or school zones when children are present, and 40 mph is the limit inside city roads unless limited otherwise), normally going 10 miles above or below the speed limit is practiced and won't matter.
are you going 25mph or lower
Depends on the speed limit, usually it's 40 mph in city, 25 in residential and business areas. On this particular area, i was going between 25-30, it's a safe speed to maintain during driving test.
I failed my first one for the same reason you did, can you tell me how long does it usually take to reschedule an appointment at broadway? (Mine is January and I do not want to wait that long) ;-;
Hello, there are two ways to get an early schedule, 1) try checking the website every few hours, you will catch a cancellation, I got mine four days after I failed the first. 2) Keep checking the nearby DMVs as well, sometimes you need to be willing to travel some extra miles to get it done, I know a friend who traveled 60 miles to another county to take the test. Good luck.
Your test route is absolutely devoid of any events like, pedestrians walking around (or rather jumping into streets), ambulances and emergency vehicles blazing around, no school buses, with children spilling into streets. It would be interesting to see how one reacts to such situations.
It will be a fail by default at least in my case. The instructors are not going to push you into such situations, but sometimes that happens. Better to know what to do.
@@abel791 could you give me some pointers for driving in the US (mostly Ohio state). I have driven in Europe (Germany, Slovenia, Austria, Czech, Hungary). However some pointers for US would be very welcome.
what caused you to fail
Aaliyah ... I failed on "left turn yield on green" it's a bit complicated when you start driving in USA for a month and half and I was so confused that I yielded for left too, when I wanted to move the light turned red and the instructor interfered, you know what that means!?
Anyone took the driving test at Carmichael?
I have a video following a car with an instructor on board, my friend and I were practicing around that area, we just following them, I may upload that.
Ok thanks man I will need that. keep me updated..
@@abel791 please upload
20 bloody minutes ????!!! Here in the UK it’s 40 minutes !!! Including 20 mins independent driving (sat nav) and 20 minutes driving follow the road signs or examiner’s directions … and include one mane-over and hill start practice or emergency stop !!!! Hundred times harder than California driving test !!
Hello, thanks for your video, it is very helpful . thank you so much :)
I am glad to hear that, you are welcome.
Did u pass
Yes
thanks :)))
Do you pass？
Yes, at this time which was the second attempt.
Abe L Oh, I take my on Thursday in this DMV. I wish I pass too !
@@smithhe9037 good luck, you absolutely will. Just be yourself.
Abe L Thank you 😊 ，I will tell you the result of my test on Thursday
Abe L I pass few hours ago ! So Happy ! !
I take my test tomorrow
How was it? I hope you made it
Oh shit this in oak park
i would have honked at that guy
Sandy Kumar, i had the exact same thought, but I refused due to the instructor's perception of the situation, I didn't know how he would react. People don't like honking in Sac, it should be used to avoid an incident. It would have been a different situation in SF though.
yeah I live in the bay area lol, and coming from India, very used to honking :D But in this it was warranted I feel.
