California DMV Practice Test 5: what to expect and what trips people up
This is your final full set before the real thing, so treat it like a dress rehearsal. The focus is parking and sharing the road, the details that are easy to skip and easy to miss. Curb colors carry rules in California: red means no stopping or parking, yellow is for loading, white is for quick passenger pickup, green is time-limited, and blue is for disabled parking. Stay at least 15 feet from a fire hydrant, and when you park facing downhill, turn your front wheels toward the curb so the car can't roll into traffic.
Sharing the road counts too, especially the three-foot law that requires you to give cyclists at least that much room when passing. Nail this one and you're ready. It's free, so retake it until every answer feels obvious.
Every question traces back to the California Driver's Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
