Do you have to have an appointment to take the driving learner's permit test in CA?
Find answers to your legal question.





Do you have to have an appointment to take the driving learner's permit test in CA?

So right now it is summer. I turn 16 in October. I didn't have time to do online driver's education on my half birthday in April, so I just finished it about a week ago. And to make an appointment online at the DMV to take a permit test, the earliest is around June 25, which I have signed up for. School starts again around the second week of August. I'm supposed to go visit my relatives in Taiwan, and plane tickets are expensive, so I want to stay as long as possible.

If I have to take the test on June 25, that only leaves me a month and change to visit my relatives. Trust me, that is not a lot, I'm not going for pure vacation, I actually spend time with my grandparents, cousins, etc. I have all the stupid materials, I just wanna know if I can walk-in to take the permit test, without an appointment, like is that possible at all? Do you guys have any experience with that? I don't mind waiting a whole afternoon, but I time is money...

And besides, if I wait until after I come back, I'd have to wait 6 more months, and then over half the school year is over...

No, you don't need an appointment to take the written test for the learners permit, only for the driving part of the test.

But you do need to have completed, or be in driver education, per the web page. Let me paste the relevant part for you.

Driver Education and Driver Training Form Requirements
If you are 15 ½ to 17 ½ years of age, you will need to provide proof that you:

•Completed driver education (Form DL 387 or OL 237) and are taking driver training (DL 392 or OL 392)
OR

•Completed driver education and driver training (DL 387, DL 388, DL 388A, OL 237, or OL 238).
OR

•Are enrolled and participating in an approved integrated driver education/driver training program (DL 400).

But given that you think the material is "stupid" I doubt you are mature enough to be thinking about driving. You seem more concerned with your comfort than the responsibility of the privilege of driving. I'd suggest you wait.
