This post is for EVERYONE who needs to take the Behind-The-Wheel driving test — whether they’re 16 or 60.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Driving definitely is a privilege that I now appreciate in ways I could never have imagined before my 55 days as a passenger. Despite being cleared by doctors, I’m scheduled to take the Behind The Wheel driving test — which I haven’t taken since way back when.<\/span><\/p>\n

The student in me was really excited to learn that California’s Department of Motor Vehicles [DMV] produced dozens of videos, and below you can view the ten clips featuring the most common reasons that people fail the test.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 – Unsafe Lane Change<\/span>
\n#2 – Failure to Yield<\/span>
\n#3 – Failure to Stop<\/span>
\n#4 – Illegal left turn<\/span>
\n#5 – Improper Speed<\/span>
\n#6 – Lack of Experience<\/span>
\n#7 – Unfamiliar with Vehicle<\/span>
\n#8 – Poor Scanning<\/span>
\n#9 – Being Too Cautious<\/span>
\n#10 – Unfamiliar with elements or situations<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Unsafe Lane Change<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

On your to-do list: signal, check mirrors, and turn to check blind spot.<\/p>\n

2 – Failure to Yield<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Make to understand right of way, i.e. who goes first in different situations.<\/p>\n

3 – Failure to Stop<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Make complete stops and stay BEHIND limit lines. Do not turn right on a red arrow<\/p>\n

4 – Illegal left turn<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

If there are double left turn lanes, then stay in your lane.<\/p>\n

5 – Improper Speed<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

6 – Lack of Experience<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Do not hit the curb when backing up. Make certain to look behind you.<\/p>\n

7 – Unfamiliar with Vehicle<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Problems happen when test-takers borrow someone else’s car.<\/p>\n

8 – Poor Scanning<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Pay Attention and always be on the lookout; do not have tunnel vision, ie., just looking straight ahead.<\/p>\n

9 – Being Too Cautious<\/a><\/p>\n

10 – Unfamiliar with elements or situations<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
