Quy trình thi lái xe: Hiểu hướng dẫn của giám khảo

Good morning. I'm your examiner today. Before we start, I need to see your learner's permit, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration. Is this your car?

Thank you. Before we pull out, I'd like you to show me your turn signals — left, then right. Now your brake lights — step on the brake. Good. Hazard lights. Horn. OK, everything checks out. When you're ready, start the engine, check your mirrors, and pull out of the parking space to the right.

That's correct, turn right. I'll give you directions as we go. I'll tell you well in advance when to turn so you have time to signal and check your mirrors. If you don't understand something I say, just ask me to repeat it — that's perfectly fine. Drive the way you normally would. Ready?

At the end of this block, I'd like you to make a left turn. Check your mirrors, signal, and make sure you yield to oncoming traffic before turning.

OK, I'd like you to parallel park between those two cars up ahead. Pull alongside the car in front, then back in. Take your time — there's no rush.

You can adjust — that's fine. What I'm looking for is that you end up reasonably close to the curb, within eighteen inches, and that you don't hit either car or hop the curb. Use your mirrors and check your blind spot. Ready when you are.

That's good — nicely done. Now, I'd like you to pull out, make a U-turn at the next intersection — check that it's legal first, look for the sign — and then we'll head back toward the DMV. When you merge back into traffic, make sure you check over your shoulder, not just the mirrors.

That's good thinking — yes, go ahead and move to the left lane when it's safe. Signal, check your mirrors and blind spot, then change lanes. After the U-turn, stay in the right lane and continue straight. I'll let you know when to turn into the DMV parking lot.
