Drivers License Test Routes

A California drivers license test route is a specific, predetermined path that a potential driver must follow during their driving exam. The test route is designed to assess the applicant's ability to safely and effectively operate a vehicle in a variety of real-world scenarios.

Drivers License

California drivers are required to have a California drivers license (DL) in order to operate a motor vehicle on California roads. The process of obtaining a California driver’s license begins with the completion of a written exam, followed by a skills test.

Once the written and skills tests have been passed, the applicant must then pay the required fees and submit proof of California residency. Once the application has been processed, the applicant will be issued a California driver’s license. California drivers are required to renew their license every four years. The renewal process requires the completion of an application, payment of the required fees, and submission of proof of California residency. California drivers may also be required to take a vision test when renewing their license. For more California DMV Drivers Licence information please visit www.dmv.ca.gov
