Getting Your California Driver's License
Are you a Moreno Valley teen ready to start driving? These steps will guide you from taking our online California drivers ed course to receiving your California provisional license. We've included local DMV office locations near Moreno Valley for easy access.

Meet Age Requirements

To begin the journey toward your California driver's license, you must be at least 15 years old to enroll in our California driving education course. This course is the essential first step in preparing for the California DMV permit test.

Complete California Drivers Ed

Our California drivers ed course covers everything you need to know, from California driving laws to road safety and vehicle operation. This 30-hour course is designed to give you a solid foundation in safe driving. Once you complete it, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion (DL 400C), commonly called the "pink slip." This certificate is required to take the DMV test.

Study for the California Permit Test

While our California drivers license course covers most material, taking time to study the California DMV handbook is essential. This handbook and a permit practice test can help you understand the specific questions and scenarios likely to appear on the DMV test.

Schedule a DMV Appointment

Once you have completed drivers education and are at least 15½ years old, it's time to apply for your California permit for driving. Visit a local DMV office - consider ones in nearby Hemet, Norco, or Redlands. Make an appointment to minimize your wait time, and bring essential documents, including:

  • Your Driver License Application (DL 44) signed by a parent or guardian.
  • Proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport.
  • Social Security Number.
  • California residency proof, like utility bills or school documents.
  • Certificate of Completion from our drivers ed course (DL 400C).

Pass the DMV Written Test

The California drivers permit test includes 46 questions on traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving. You'll need a minimum of 38 correct answers to pass. You have two options to take this test:

  • Online Supervised Test: You can take the California permit test online through the DMV website with the approval of a parent or guardian. This test is proctored through a webcam.
  • In-Person Test at the DMV: On the day of your DMV appointment, bring all required documents. After verifying your paperwork, you'll take the test on one of the DMV computers.

Vision Test and Permit Fee

Once you pass the DMV test, you will also take a quick vision test at the DMV. Pay the $45 permit fee, and you'll receive a temporary paper permit while you wait for your official California drivers permit to arrive in the mail.

Initial Behind-the-Wheel Training

Your new California learners permit must be validated before you start practicing driving. Schedule an initial 2-hour California driving lesson with a certified instructor, which will validate your permit. This behind the wheel training is essential for your permit to be used with a supervising adult.

Practice Driving in Moreno Valley

Once your instructor validates your permit, you're ready for supervised practice driving. Complete 50 hours of practice driving with a licensed adult 25 years or older, including 10 hours at night. The scenic landscapes of Moreno Valley make it a great place to practice day and night driving safely. Additionally, consider nearby parks and open spaces, like Box Springs Mountain Reserve, for peaceful areas to work on maneuvering.

Finish Behind-the-Wheel Training

Complete 6 hours of professional California behind the wheel drivers class training. These hours can be split into multiple sessions with a certified instructor to ensure a well-rounded skill set. Practicing with an experienced driver and taking lessons from professionals ensures you're prepared for all aspects of driving and ready for the final road test.

Apply for Your Provisional License

After holding your California permit for at least six months and completing all driving requirements, you can apply for a California provisional driver's license. You must be at least 16 years old and have all completed practice and training hours verified by a parent or guardian. Schedule your driving test at the DMV, bringing:

  • Your validated permit.
  • Proof of completed driving hours signed by a parent.
  • Certificate of professional driving lessons completion (if required at your DMV office).

Pass the California Driving Test

The California DMV driving test consists of two parts:

  • Safety Check: The examiner will check your car's basic functions, including brakes, signals, and lights. They'll also ensure you know how to adjust mirrors and use essential controls.
  • Driving Performance Evaluation: The examiner assesses your ability to make safe turns, navigate intersections, merge into traffic, and follow California driving laws. Your local DMV offices in Hemet, Norco, and Redlands are good options for scheduling this test.

After passing, you'll receive a provisional driver's license, valid for 90 days as a paper copy until your official license arrives in the mail. You'll now have the freedom to drive without an adult but remember that for the first 12 months, you'll have some restrictions, including:

  • No driving between 11 PM and 5 AM without a licensed driver over 25 unless it's for school or work with appropriate documentation.
  • No passengers under 20 years old unless a licensed driver over 25 is with you.

Once you reach 18, your provisional license will automatically upgrade to a full, unrestricted California class C license without additional testing, giving you complete driving freedom in and around Moreno Valley.

Obtaining a California driver's license is a significant milestone, and driving in Moreno Valley's beautiful surroundings will allow you to practice and enjoy this new responsibility. With our California drivers ed course, local DMV offices, and the experience of driving in Moreno Valley, you're fully prepared for success on the road.

The Traditional Classroom Experience: Less Convenient for Busy Students

Read more

While traditional classroom-based California driver's ed courses offer structure, they come with several drawbacks for Moreno Valley residents. First, commuting to and from a physical class adds unnecessary time to your schedule, and with Moreno Valley's growing population, traffic congestion can make this even more stressful.

The quality of instruction in a classroom setting can also be inconsistent. Instructors vary in experience, meaning you might not always receive the best preparation for the California DMV permit test or the California driving test. If you miss a class due to illness or other commitments, making up the material can be challenging, leading to delays in your preparation for the California class C license.

Given these limitations, opting for an online California drivers ed class allows you to learn efficiently and without the added complications of classroom scheduling and travel.

Moreno Valley Drivers Ed FAQs
Answers to Help You Navigate Your Way to a License
Can you take drivers ed after getting your license?

Yes, you can take drivers ed after getting your California driver's license, but it’s not a requirement for those who already hold a license. Many licensed drivers opt to take a drivers ed course to refresh their knowledge of traffic laws or enhance their driving skills. This can be particularly helpful if you’ve recently moved to California and want to familiarize yourself with state-specific regulations, which can differ from those in other states. Drivers ed can also provide useful tips for defensive driving and handling challenging road conditions, such as heavy traffic or adverse weather. Some insurance companies even offer discounts to drivers who complete additional education, making it a valuable investment in your safety and savings.

How does drivers ed work?

Drivers ed is a structured educational program designed to teach new drivers the fundamentals of safe driving, road rules, and traffic regulations. Our California drivers ed course is entirely online and approved by the DMV, making it a convenient choice for students in Moreno Valley. The course consists of 30 hours of instruction, as mandated by the state. You’ll learn through engaging lessons, videos, and quizzes that cover critical topics like road signs, safe driving practices, and California-specific traffic laws. The course is self-paced, meaning you can complete it on your schedule, which is ideal for students managing school or extracurricular activities. Once you finish the course, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion, which is a requirement for teens under 18 applying for a learner’s permit. Additionally, we provide practice tests to help you prepare for the California DMV test, giving you confidence to pass on your first try.

How long does online drivers ed take?

In California, online drivers ed takes 30 hours to complete, as required by the DMV. This time is spread across various lessons and activities, including videos, quizzes, and reading materials. Unlike in-person classes, online drivers ed offers flexibility, allowing you to log in and out as your schedule permits. This means you can fit the coursework around your other commitments, such as school, sports, or part-time jobs. For students in Moreno Valley, this flexibility ensures you can complete the course without sacrificing time for other activities. While some students finish the course within a few days or weeks, others may take longer depending on their pace. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can pick up right where you left off each time you log in.

Do you need to do drivers ed if you’re 18?

If you’re 18 or older in California, you are not legally required to take drivers ed to get your license. However, completing a course can be incredibly beneficial, especially for first-time drivers. Drivers ed can help you prepare for the California DMV permit test by covering essential topics like traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. For adults in Moreno Valley who may have limited driving experience, enrolling in a drivers ed course can provide the foundational knowledge and confidence needed to navigate California’s busy roadways. Additionally, completing drivers ed might make you feel more prepared for the behind-the-wheel driving test, which is required to obtain your full license. Even though it’s optional, taking drivers ed can set you up for success and make the process of obtaining a license smoother and less stressful.

These lessons are typically broken into multiple sessions, starting with the basics of vehicle operation and progressing to more advanced skills like freeway driving, parking, and navigating busy intersections. For students in Moreno Valley, driver training is a crucial step in building the confidence needed to handle local road conditions, including heavy traffic and multiple-lane highways. The course complements the knowledge gained in drivers ed and prepares students for the California DMV driving test. Adults, while not required to complete professional driver training, often find these lessons beneficial, especially if they are new drivers or lack experience behind the wheel.

After completing drivers ed and receiving your Certificate of Completion, you can apply for your California drivers permit if you’re at least 15½ years old. Once you have your certificate, you’ll need to visit the DMV with the required documents, such as proof of identity, residency, and a signed DL 44 form. During your visit, you’ll take the California DMV permit test and a vision test. If you pass both, you’ll receive your permit, which allows you to start practicing driving under the supervision of a licensed adult. For teens in Moreno Valley, it’s important to note that your permit will not be valid for driving until it’s signed by a certified driving instructor after your first professional driving lesson. This ensures you start your supervised driving practice with a solid foundation of skills.

Do you need to take a permit test at 18?

Yes, if you’re 18 or older, you are still required to take the California DMV permit test to obtain a learner’s permit. While drivers ed is not mandatory for adults, preparing for the test by reviewing the California DMV handbook and taking practice tests is highly recommended. The permit test evaluates your knowledge of road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. Once you pass the test and obtain your permit, you can begin practicing driving with a licensed adult.
