Mili Correa i dearly appreciate you! thank you so much!! God Bless You❤️
update:I PASSED!!! glory to God!
Same bro
@@kein.556 just wanted to ask, do your parents actually need to take documents like insurance and their license
Let me add this,
You must see better than 20/200 out of one eye, best corrected, if you don't meet the vision standard.
This is coming from a monocular person.
If over 18, then you can get your permit, keep it for a bit, then get license.
But everything else applies.
Did you have to hold your drivers permit for 6 months or no???
What does 47 see over mean?
I swear I’m never getting my license shit sounds like a nightmare
What dmv did u go to?
watched ur “how to get ur drivers permit” 6 months ago and now i’m watching this one 😭 my test is this tuesday march 1st wish me luck y’all 🙏
I Passed!!
@@jaedenchen57 easiest shi ever, but also it depends on ur examiner, practice around the area you will be taking it so u get familiar with the roads, it helps!
I’m 17 1/2 and I’ve had my permit for more than 6 months do I need to do the drivers traning thingy or can I just walk in and take my test?
Comin back to this video after about a year. Got my license passed the first try with just one minor. Thanks for the help man I really would've been so lost without your videos 😭
Hey i have a question, other than the behind the wheel test do you have to take any other kinds of tests like the test for your permit? Thankyou
@@CrazyMangoCat No. Take your permit test wait out the 6 months or until ur 18 and then take the behind the wheel test. That's all
@@jnthun thanks, my behind the wheel is on sep 12 so the only thing i will have to do is that? Im just making sure cause i have alot of anxiety about it lmao
Do I need to bring a birth certificate?
Yes so that you can prive you're 16 or older
@@Baileys.small.engine.repair They didn't ask for it when I went and anyway I can't find it anymore.
@@thearcadegamer8128 oh ok
Do you have your car
I passed my permit today and I’m already watching videos like this 😭
One more month bro
@@angelmaldonado5657 wym?
@@soccerlegend9780 I meant 1 more month until you can take your drivers test
@@angelmaldonado5657 like I can’t test anymore
do you have to bring the 50 practice hours form??
Do u have to take another picture at the DMV after passing?
No
No, they just use the pic from the permit
You can if you do it before you pass your driving test.
@@erikrulkens1098 when do they take the picture?
@@pahulinacornejo7806 after you pass your permit test
Stop saying umm I’m just tryna learn something
youre cringe
Hey I have an important question and you seem to be the only person making videos on how to but i passes my test and got the temporary I noticed it has a signature slot my question is who signs there?
How do my parents sign off the required 50 hrs of practice?
How much was your behind the wheel lesson
Around 300-400 for all 3
If you shop around you can get it for less than that.
Taking mine tomorrow AHHHHHH BOPJNDSJSOJXN please pray for me guys😢🙏
Amy Swag good luck! Dont sweat it its a lot easier than people make out to be
Erik Rulkens Thank you so much!!
Amy Swag did you pass ?
Peter Bravo yes! Just took it on Friday!
The background music is too loud.
For the parent can it be a brother who has a license?
If you are under 18 then your brother has to be older than 25. I think 18+ you can have someone who is an adult.
Did anyone count how many times he says UMM in the video?
LOL
my test is tomorrow and I didn’t have a professional driving instructor what do I do
what happpened
i didnt take the test
@@kaelgonzalez1969 I had to look up a driving instructor, having the hours IS MANDATORY
If you are over the age of 17 1/2 you don't need the instructor.
My permit looks nothing like that
do u have to pay for different schooling? like did u pay for the online course then pay again for ur instructor?
I just took my driving test yesterday morning at the DMV in Hayward California and I passed it
I’m about to turn 18 in acouple weeks what do I need to do??
idk why I'm watching this when I still have like 5 more months until I can even get my license lol but hey you're two days older than me
updatee
@@MyMy-cz7mx omg hii !! i got my license in april :)
Thank you your videos help a lot !🖤
Kenya Uriarte no problem glad they do
Do you know any cheap driving school lessons?
Just shop around. If you live in a big city such as la, bay area or sd you can find plenty of schools and see which is the cheapest.
Do I need behind the wheel training if I’m 17 1/2?
No
@@michaelhorgan9525 thank you so much
@@swouch2365 you should still practice as it will help you be more confident on the road test.
@@michaelhorgan9525 Will there be a written exam for my license or just the behind the wheel test?
@@swouch2365 You take the written exam for your permit then in order to get the license you take the road test once you turn 18.
do you need a permit before
life saver
if you're over 18 do you still need to take your permit test?
Aye bru if u find out lmkk
Yes you do sadly
yea
@@luisg2035 FUCK
Yes you still have to but you wont need to wait 6 months for behind the wheel test
If I’m 14 can I get it or does everyone have it ? Bcs I’m tryna do something on this one app I can’t text it says I have to do my driver license for safe something
If you are talking about getting a drivers license you have to get your learners permit first. Depending on what state you are is when you can get your permit. For example, if you are in California you cannot get it until you are 15 1/2. Some states vary so look it up. After you get your permit you have to wait 6 months before you can officially get your drivers license.
imma save this vid and use it next year 😁
🔥 vid tho good work 😤
Yessir stay on that YT grind. 😤
@@erikrulkens1098 how much did you pay for the 6 hours of training
@@erikrulkens1098 can you tell me how to buy the 6hours training
I’m taking my drivers license tomorrow pray for me y’all 👍🏽
Mark Moncada good luck my guy you got this!
how’d it go
I passed
How much you had to pay for that (6 hours) of behind the wheel?
Zamir Faqirzada like 400 dollars its kind of a ripoff and i bet you can find a better deal than what i found
Thanks for replying bro.
Zamir Faqirzada sorry for the late response but glad i could help!
It depends where you live and covid-19
I only needed my xbox racing wheel and i learned that way but there was some mistakes i learned from drive school such as
Pulling forward at a 4 stop sign to see clearly
Getting in a double yellow center lane for left turn
Thank you for this information. It's been quite helpful for all of us.
does it have to be your parent or can i use another persons carn
For the drive test you can use another car provided it is insured and registered. They want to see proof of insurance. For those under 18 you need someone over 25 if over 18 then anybody over 18 can take you there.
@@michaelhorgan9525 what about the social number? i don’t have the physical card but i have the number is that fine?
@@lili-hz1zk you can use parents name for the identity documents if you use a birth certificate. I believe you need a card for real id but you need to know it for non compliant which cannot be used to board a domestic flight starting October.
@@lili-hz1zk you can also get a new social security card online and it is free.
Can i drive alone with my interim driver license?
Yes you can drive alone with an interim license. There are restrictions if you are a minor and are transporting people for the first year unless you are permitted to.
Thank you
Permit you still need a person with you but once you have a license you can drive alone. If you are under 18 there might be some restrictions for the first year.
Do you need a instructor or can your parents do it
If you are under 18 then you must have 6 hours of instruction from a driving school. You can also practice with your parents and that will help you drive better. If you are 17 1/2 you can skip not having to have driving lessons; however, you must keep your permit until you are 18 in order to take the road test.
If your 17 1/2 do you to do the behind the wheel training?
If you applied at 17.5 then you do not have to do 6 hours of behind the wheel training. You will need to wait until you are 18 until you got your license.
Did they make you remove your glasses or did they make you show any paper work of your glasses
Up to you if you want your glasses off. There is a saying that your DMV photo will never turn out right so just accept it.
I have a question about this
Can i renew my driver license anytime to remove lens restriction , retake my photo or change name adress?
I live in Ohio Is their any easier way to get ur license
sorry, um
What do we do when we show up should we let the dmv know a day before that we will be going or do we just go up and say we have an appt
@License Boss oh I already passed but thz
Omggg thank u I was so terrified of having to parallel park I need to get my license
I’m 18 do I still need to get a permit to take the written test
Wondering the same thing
@@nastynast1764 Great question! If you are 18 you apply for a license online or at a DMV, bring in your documents (if you wish to have REAL ID DL), do your eye exam, and then you take the test. You get your permit after you have taken the written test. Then you can practice (hopefully) and then you pass the road test and once you pass that you get a license.
Do u have to pay like a monthly fee for the permit?
How do you get a driving instructor. Can it be a parent or something like that ?
You search for driving schools and it has to be from a driving school for the 6 hours as they have to sign the certificate.
Contact the best producers of driving license @ prolicensestore.com
Hey I just got my permit and I think I have to wait until 6 months to take the behind the wheel test but I don’t understand about the yellow paper that you showed and about the 6 hour drive instructor.
Thanks
In order to get your license you have to complete a drivers Ed course of 6 hours with a licensed instructor
@@DianaGarcia-ec6mi how many hours does a person have to get though to be able to use their permit before the license?
@@giftokeze4926 I believe it’s 2 hours which is the first session of the 6 hour driving course
@@DianaGarcia-ec6mi ohh ok, thank you so much
I am your 1000th sub 🤘👍
Smelyn thank you so much
6 hours of driving?!!? In Australia you need 120 hours including 20 hours of night driving.
Yeah i think you need 50 hours of driving with a parent with 10 of em being night driving over here but those 6 hours are just an instructor lmao
I just passed my permit test and I have no clue what’s next or what I have to do can someone plz tell me and help me???
schedule a drivers training session in order to start practicing driving
I got my driver's license in June.
If you’ve never had your drivers permit and your 18 could you still get a license???
Stacy Gullett ok tysm
@Stacy Gullett no you dont wait 6 months if your 18 or over
Can I do a walk-in in capitola
j6se only for permit tests. For behind the wheel tests you will need to schedule no matter where you go
Is the 6 hours of drive training signature only for people who are under 18? or does this apply to everyone who is taking the behind the wheel test.
Johan Casal no you don’t have to do behind the wheel training but they recommend it. Personally i wouldn’t if i was 18 or older because its like 400 something dollars for 6 hours.
Erik Rulkens fasho man thanks! And also I was wondering how it is now when you first get to the dmv. Because of Covid-19, when I get there do I still have to go inside the building to the window first for my appointment, show my papers and then head over to the driving test lane? Or do I just head straight to the drivers test lane first and wait there to show my documents?
Johan Casal i still had to go inside to show all my docs at the desk, then they told me to pull up in the drive test lane before the instructor got in to do the predrive checklist.
If your parent is giving you behind wheel training do they just sign the yellow sheet as the instructor ??
Did you ever find out?:/
how much was the behind the wheel rating with the instructer ?
For the 6 hours of lessons around $200 to $300 and is mandatory if under the age of 17 1/2. If you are older than 17 1/2 or an adult, you are exempt.
Do you need that if your 18?
Instead of a passport can we bring our actual id ?
Yea I’m pretty sure any valid form of identification is acceptable (including your passport/state ID)
Glad you made another vid
idk if your going to respond to this but do you need a permit to get a license in calfornia and how and where do you go to get all that behind the wheel training ?
So for driver’s license do you need to take the written test again?
no, a behind the wheel test, not written.
AYO MY TEST IS TOMORROW UH WHAT PAPERWORK DO I BRING HELP
MY LICENSE TEST TO BE MORE SPECIFIC
Can you use the reverse camera or you can only use the mirror
lotsasauce i think its ok if you glance at it but they mainly want you looking back and through the side mirror. Personally i glanced at the reverse camera a bit but i wouldnt recommend it lmao
How long did u wait after getting your permit to set your driving behind the wheel test appointment?
I waited a lil over a month
ahh i have mine tomorrow and im terrified about the curbside parking
Can a 16-17 years old get their drivers license? Please reply thanks
yes they can
Man this is the reason I don't think I will get my driver's license, it's too much work and I'm used to driving without one. I used to drive tractor trailer 10 speed with a 48 footer on the 5 from san Diego to LA, so I'm more than capable it's just a very annoying process what do you think?
My driving test is October 9th but I'm taking it in carmichael so should be easy and im confident I will pass
Bogdan good luck my guy! You got the right mindset so you probably know what you’re doing 😂
I can’t pass my permit test help
Is this for people under 18?
Over 18 is easy, just bring in your paperwork, do the vision test pay the fees, then take the written test. You then get a permit and once you get that permit you can get an appointment for a behind the wheel test. Pass that and you get your license. None of the minor restrictions apply.
Wish it was this simple in the U.K. 😅
Innit
Is the behind the wheel test shorter ?
Totally not watching this 3 hours before my test
lmao good luck you'll be fine
do you have to get the 6 hours behind the wheel training in california, also where did you go to get your 6 hours of training, is there anymore training you have to do besides the 6 hours ?
If you apply at under the age of 17.5 yes you need 6 hours of training and you get it at a driving school.
Did you make an appointment for a permit or just go to the dmv and get it situated there
Thanks for the info I got my license today :)
congrats!
Do you need to log the 50 hours you drive with your parent somewhere?
kristen anne no they just have to sign off on the permit confirming that you have done them
Hey Erik, do you need to have the yellow sheet of paper or is the signature of the instructor on your permit paper alright?
Aryan 484 i believe you need to have both
@@erikrulkens1098 you don't both you'll be fine with just the permit

this was very helpful! thank you dude
i’m done with driving school but i can’t get my permit bc the dmv is still closed :(
odd toddlers dang thats tough but gl when it reopens!
I thought we could use our parents for our driving hours
thank you for the video but the music is to loud.
How old do you have to be
15 1/2 for a permit then you have to hold that permit for 6 months so 16 for a license. Anyone under the age of 18 has to hold their permit for 6 months before taking the road test.
Is it a Real ID that you received? I saw that you applied for a Real ID when applying for the permit.
An id and drivers license are kind of the same thing
You can get a REAL ID DL if you bring in the right documents such as Social Security card or W-2, 2 pieces of mail (can be in your parents name if you bring in a certified copy of your BC), and a Birth Certificate (Must be a certified copy not a photo or informational copy, Unexpired Passport Book (then your residency documents must be in your name).
When my license came in the mail i was expecting it to be a real id driver license but it wasnt. Im guessing its because i have a real id identification already

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (26) "These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you."
Do I need to complete an online application before going to the dmv
You can do it at the dmv but it is easier to do it online. They use the same online application on the touch screen PC's.
@@michaelhorgan9525 thank you so much
Yo bro right after passing the roadtest did you have to fill in the driver license application and pay a fee before they can mail you the drivers license ? I’m 18 btw and I got my temporary drivers license 2 days ago but didn’t have to pay fee so I’m curious if there still gonna send me the drivers license in the mail?
If I am over 17 1/2 but under 18, do I still need to have 6 hours of professional driving training? Or can I just have my logged 50 hours and be good to take the driving test?
Yes if you’re 18 below you still require to have behind the wheel for training , but when you’re (18 above) an adult you’re not.
17 1/2 I believe does not require the instruction as long as you hold your permit until the age of 18.
@Stacy Gullett no you don’t I never had any behind the wheel training just got my license too
Yoo bro i got a question a have'nt been able to figure out, do these kind of tutorials mean that the 6-month period is from 15/2yo to 16?, what i mean is if i am 16 can i do everything without the 6 month period?
*after getting the permit to get the liscence
So yes you can get your permit then do the 6 month training right after and you’ll be able to get your minors drivers license. But if you get your permit and
wait till your 16 for the 6 month period you’ll be 16 and a half when you are eligible. I would recommend starting at 15/2yo so you can get it at 16.
How did you get the gold certificate?
The instructor will give it to you when your start practicing
i have my behind the wheel appointment on monday do we need to bring both our parents?
lizz i went with just one. Btw good luck youll do well!
Erik where did you have to go to start the behind the wheel ?? do you need to go to line to register ??
lizz yeah there should be a line to check in for your appointment. It should be separate for the main entrance.
Do the windows need to be all the way rolled down?
taking mine September 25 pray for me
Viviana Flores good luck you got this
