California driver's examination

Collisions are more likely to happen when one driver goes faster or slower than the other vehicles on the road. When you enter a freeway, you should be going at or near the speed of the other traffic.

It is illegal to drive while wearing a headset or earplugs in both ears.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, avoid especially slippery areas, such as ice patches, wet leaves, oil, or deep puddles. The safest surface to drive on is a dry, solid surface.

Use of seat belts is required for the driver and all passengers (including children who are over 8 years old or at least 4'9" tall). You must wear seat belts and shoulder harnesses even if the vehicle has airbags. If your vehicle is equipped with separate lap and shoulder belts, you must use both.

It is illegal for minors to use a cell phone at all while driving, except to contact an emergency entity (police, fire department, etc.) in an emergency situation. For adult drivers, the use of hands-free devices is permitted; however, to avoid distractions it is advisable to make calls only if needed to call for help in an emergency.

Large trucks must often swing wide to complete a right turn. A truck making a right turn may initially appear to be turning left because of the need to swing wide. When behind a turning truck, you should pay attention to the truck's turn signal to be aware of which way the trucker actually intends to turn.

You may turn left into a left-moving, one-way street if there is no sign prohibiting the turn.

When leaving an alley, driveway, or parking lot to enter the roadway, you must stop before driving onto a sidewalk or sidewalk area.

A flashing red signal means "stop". After coming to a stop, you may proceed once it is safe, observing all right-of-way rules.
