The California DMV Driver Handbook

Do not:

  • Drive a vehicle so loaded, either with property or persons, that you can’t see ahead or to the sides of your vehicle or control it.
  • Carry anything in or on a passenger vehicle which extends beyond the fenders on the left side or more than six inches beyond the fenders on the right side. A load extending more than four feet from the back of the vehicle must display a 12-inch red or fluorescent orange square flag or two red lights at night.
  • Allow anyone to ride on any part of your vehicle not intended for passengers.
  • Allow a person to ride in the load space of your pickup or other truck unless the vehicle is equipped with seats and the person uses both the seat and a safety belt.
  • Transport animals in the load space of a pickup or other truck unless the animal is properly secured.
  • Dump or abandon animals on a highway. It is a crime punishable by a fine (up to $1000), six months in jail, or both.
  • Tow anyone who is riding a bicycle, in a wagon, on roller skates, on a sled, on skis, or on a toy vehicle.
  • Sound your horn unless it is as a safety warning.
  • Throw any cigarette, cigar, or other flaming or glowing substance from your vehicle.
  • Shoot firearms on a highway or at traffic signs.
  • Litter the roadside. You will be fined $1000 and may be forced to pick up what you threw away. Littering convictions are shown on your driving record.
  • Wear a headset over, or earplugs in, both your ears.

SIGNALS

Always signal to other drivers when you plan to turn left, right, slow down, or stop.

Motorcyclists often use hand signals to make themselves more visible. Bicycle riders may give right turn signals with their right arm held straight out, pointing right.

Signal your left or right turn during the last 100 feet before reaching the turning point. At highway speeds, it is best to signal at least five seconds before you change lanes.

If bright sunlight makes signal lights hard to see, use hand-and-arm signals also.

"I recommend Cal-Driver-Ed for home study driver education."


The following quotes are excerpts from a California DMV Study on the Effectiveness of Home-Study Driver Education (PDF) dated April 2003:

"Home-study students performed just as well or better than classroom students ... "

"Home-study courses may also have the additional benefit of increasing parental involvement in their teen's learning process, which has been shown to be an important factor ..."

Traffic school will help keep your auto insurance costs lower if you receive a traffic ticket.

Every licensed California Driver must have auto insurance to drive a vehicle in California. Proof of insurance must be provided to the California DMV when you obtain your drivers license (not your learners permit).

Proof of auto insurance must also be provided to DMV when you register or renew the license on a vehicle you own.
