Explore Different Road Conditions

Driving through different road types is key to acing your driving test. During the La Salle test you’ll navigate a mix of these common road types:

• Residential Streets: Residential areas like St. Vincent Avenue require you to control your speed, respond promptly to stop signs, and watch for pedestrians and parked vehicles that may obstruct your view.
• Urban Commuter Routes: Roads like 3rd Street require you to handle the dynamics of city driving, including moderate traffic flow, frequent intersections, and effective lane changing maneuvers.
• Major Arterial Roads: Although expressways may not be part of every driving test, roads such as I-80 mimic highway conditions, requiring you to handle higher speeds and practice safe merging techniques.
• Traffic Signal and Stop-Controlled Roads: Intersections like those found on 3rd St & Bucklin St will test your skills in coming to complete stops, yielding right-of-way, and responding correctly to traffic lights and signage.
• Multi-Lane: US-6, a key multi-lane road close to LaSalle SOS, will test your ability to navigate multiple lanes safely, use turn signals effectively before lane changes, and maintain appropriate speeds to match traffic conditions.

The DMV Behind-The-Wheel Road Test

Mastering the components of the road test is key to passing. You can practice these tasks before your exam, including:

1. Starting and Stopping the Vehicle: You’ll need to smoothly start the car, merge into traffic, and stop without jerking. You may be tested on stopping at stop signs, crosswalks, and behind other vehicles.
2. Following Speed Limits: During the test, you must consistently drive at the appropriate speed, adjusting to different road types and conditions while adhering to posted speed restrictions.
3. Executing a Lane Change: During the test, you’ll be expected to perform lane changes by signaling in advance, checking your mirrors, and looking over your shoulder, all without losing speed.
4. Turning in Tight Spaces: You’ll be assessed on your ability to make a three-point or K-turn to reverse direction in a limited amount of space.
5. Reversing for 50 Feet: You’ll be required to demonstrate your ability to back up in a straight line for 50 feet, looking over your shoulder instead of just using the mirrors.
