get everybody’s number that you’ve come in contact with because they can’t find anybody after you leave

Do not go to this DMV if you have a health condition. They blow it up so you have to get reevaluated for your drivers license

Getting an appointment on the computer at the correct DMV was hardest for me. I ended up just going and then contacting from the parking lot for a GO number. Everyone at the Costa Mesa DMV were helpful and I only spent less than 40 minutes getting my new driver's license. I got my application completed on my computer. But getting the actual appointment at the DMV impossible for me. It needs to be a simpler process from one screen to the next.

Been driving for 20 years with a pristine driving record. After 20 years they decided I should do a behind the wheel test. I failed because I gave a pedestrian the right of way, and I "needed to drive at the speed limit preferably faster"
When reversing, she said i hit the curb. I absolutely did not. New car with cameras all over, c'mon now.
I was close to the curb, I did not hit it. Kind of her to give me a 2nd chance. After I left I pulled up next to a parked officer and asked when I should turn. He said pedestrian ALWAYS gets the ride of way, which is what I told the dmv lady when she said I had the right of way. Now I have to wait 3 months for a redo bc DMV is that booked.
