I had thought that the car must remain behind the limit line until traffic was clear, but this is not the case. When turning left, it is legal to pull into the intersection and wait for oncoming traffic to clear, even this means you will be eventually turning left on a yellow.If there is a right turn red arrow, you CANNOT turn right on red, even if there is no 'No Right Turn On Red' sign.This is true even if there is a bike lane. When turning right, you must pull over as close to the curb as possible before making the turn.
The videos are pretty clear as to the situations where it is necessary, but to be doubly sure I checked over my shoulder for every lane change and turn.įinally, in preparing for this test, some driving rules I had either forgotten or never knew: Maybe a good question for your evaluator, to ensure you're both on the same page?Īnother area to look out for: when to look over your shoulder. The DMV video clearly says 25 MPH, but at least one person I talked with at the DMV office thought it was higher.
But when we turned onto this street, the speed limit became 25 MPH because it is not marked, even though this felt even more worthy of 35 MPH than the prior street! There appears to be some confusion over what the default speed limit is in commercial zones also.
