CA DL/ID Informational and Situational Thread (Exam Q's, tips) - Page 3

Thank you for the thread UCLAbeatSC! It's very informational and will definitely help out once I'm ready to go in for my ID/DL.

Question; when turning on any intersection where there is a pedestrian, do you have to wait until they make it all the way across and on the sidewalk on the other side, to go ahead and turn? Or can yo go once they're more than halfway across and out of the way?

I think this has been answered, but you have to wait until the pedestrian walks all the way... then check again to your right shoulder if any are coming. then proceed.

Any updates from any of you guys? I just applied for a ssn and was thinking of going to the DMV tomorrow to apply for DL
and when filing out the DL form do you leave the part where it asks you for the ssn blank or what should one do? TIA

Yeah leave it blank. They'll make a note of it, and let you take your written test. You won't get your permit, but if you pass, once you have your number all you have to do is go give it them, and they'll print out your permit. That's what I did. But honestly, it's kind of a waste of time. You might as well go when you have your social so you save yourself a trip.

I have a question. I also have a out of state DL and my friend who lives in Calif would let me use his address to apply for a CA DL. What kind of paperwork would I need to submit? And also how long did they give you (2 years, 5 years, etc)? I am currently in AZ and my DL is from New Mexico and I only received 2 years on that card so that's why I wanted to get a CA DL (not to mention my NM DL card look pretty crappy and unreal)...

Ok thanks, I wasn't sure about it, yeah I think I'm gonna do what you recommended since everything is happening at a good pase and wait for my SSC, I've a good felling that I'll be getting it mid week, next week if I don't I'll just wait til it arrives in the mail. Thanks again.

Ok so I just got my SSC in the mail today and made an appointment at the DMV already for Wednesday, I'll be studying
The rest of today and all day tomorrow for the witting test.

2 questions for uclabeatusc, or anyone that can answer these questions:

1. i know i've been asking this around the forum, but im just too anxious. my i821d is approved and got the approval letter, but still pending on i-765. since the ab 2189 became effective earlier this year, does that mean i can just bring my i821d approval letter and check "i will provide the ssn once i get one later" on the form??

2. follow up of question #1. if the answer is yes, does this include california ID or strictly drivers license.

Thanks to whomever answers these questions.

You guys are so freaking amazing... all the help you guys provide is awsome...
