Road Conditions To Practice

Confidence on test day comes from practicing on a variety of road types. While driving through Mt Carmel you’ll likely encounter one or more of the following road types:

  • Residential Streets: On peaceful streets like North Mulberry Street, you’ll need to drive cautiously, adhere to stop signs, and keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing and cars parked on both sides.

  • Traffic Signal and Stop-Controlled Roads: Intersections like those found on W 2nd St & N Walnut St will test your skills in coming to complete stops, yielding right-of-way, and responding correctly to traffic lights and signage.

Key Features - DMV Behind-The-Wheel Test

Before your driving test, it’s important to practice the different tasks you’ll be tested on, such as:

  1. Controlled Starts and Safe Stops: You’ll be tested on how smoothly you start the car, merge into flowing traffic, and bring the vehicle to a gradual stop at signs, crosswalks, or when other vehicles are ahead.
  2. Observing Posted Speed Limits: The test will require you to maintain the correct speed at all times, adjusting as needed for different road environments and following speed limit signs.
  3. Using Mirrors and Performing Shoulder Checks: Proper mirror use is essential during the test, and you’ll also be expected to glance over your shoulder when changing lanes or merging.
  4. Three-Point Turn: You’ll need to show you can turn the car around in a tight space using a three-point turn or K-turn.
  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.
