No Way! You paid $100?!!! They are giving it away for free at some driving schools if you just sign up for their six hours. I am just looking around right now, but I am not going to pay for something that the others give for free!‎

It is so obvious‎‎
 By brendawendla - Nov 14, 2009
It is so obvious that someone who works at Deluxe is giving themselves these good reviews. I mean look at how similar the language is "Good experience" "Overall experience" "very good experience" and look at the dates "August 21st, August 22, August 12th" The only one that seems real here is the July comment.

June 1, 2010 Test 1pm
During the test DMV Examiner M. was texting on her cell phone during about first 7 minutes of the test. After Mr.Mahim P. made left turn on S.First street DMV Examiner M. finally finish texting and checked  the road. Suddenly she grabbed steering wheel and yelled is's a truck on the opposite lane. Yeh.. it was a truck on opposite lane, maybe she thought he was going to kill them both and drive into the truck? So test was over for Mr.Mahim P.
Mr.Mahim P. filled DMV form "HOW WE DO" available at DMV with the complain.


June 7, 2010 Test at 10:30 AM
During the test DMV Examiner D. told Mr.ANSHUL R. to cross solid white lane to change to the left turn lane and make a left turn. Mr.ANSHUL R. refuse and told DMV Examiner D . that you are not suppose to cross solid white lane, where he was at the moment during the test (although you aloud to make this maneuver in California as an exception,National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Manual (NHTSA) states that crossing a solid white line is strongly discouraged)    DMV Examiner D. is more advanced and brave than NHTSA and they should change they safety recommendations according to DMV Examiner D. sense of safety.
 


Tips for DMV driving test
 
When you arrive at DMV for driving test, shutdown car, let your companion to stay in the car in line.
Take car registration and insurance papers and go inside DMV. Find "Driving Test Registration" window. Usually this is separate window and line. Registration begins 20-15 minutes before scheduled test time.
  •    Finally it's your turn, DMV Examiner will ask for your paperwork and will check your car.

    Make sure you have both license plates, rear and front lights are all in working condition, parking brake engaged.

     DMV Examiners will ask you to turn on car (two key clicks to engage electric circuit), not to start the car:


    • Show left HAND turn
    • Show right HAND turn
    • Show slow down or stop HAND sign


              Inside car controls:

    • Turn on left and right turn signal
    • Turn on windshield defogger
    • Turn on rear window defroster
    • Turn on emergency lights
    • Turn on low and high beam lights
    • Step on brakes, examiner will check brake lights
     
     
    After all of these check ups, your test will begin. Usually test takes about 15-20 minutes. Examiner wiil tell you to make left or right turns, change lanes, park by the curb and back up for 15-25'.
     
    What are they looking for:
     
    1. while changing lanes, puling from parking or making turns - SHOW TURN SIGNAL AND LOOK at THREE POINTS:
    • rear mirrow
    • side mirrow
    • to the blind spot over your sholder
    if you don't look over your sholder - you don't pass test.
     
     
    2. Stops and acceleration. No jerking. If stops are to harsh - it's a minus point every time you do it.
     
    3. At STOP sighn or red light - stop for full 3 seconds 2-5 feet before white (yellow) wide stop lane Don't just sit, look left and right.
     
    4. Speeding - never at the test.
     
    5. Too slow - if more than 10 miles per hour below speed limit.
     
    Critical Errors
    Any of them will make you to go home without a licence.
