Expert Answers to DMV Questions By George Valverde – Director,
California Department of Motor Vehicles
Do you have questions about gen-
eral driving related requirements like registration and insurance? Are you unclear about laws and restrictions related to driving? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has answers. “Save Time by Going Online,” at www.dmv.ca.gov. Q: English is my mother’s second language. She is almost ready to take her driving exam, but is concerned that she will not be able to fully understand the DMV Driver’s Handbook. She lis- tens to a lot of audio books in her downtime – does the DMV offer any similar options for the Driver’s Hand- book in Spanish? A: Yes! The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has added another feature to its growing list of Internet services. The California Dri- ver’s Handbook 2008 is now available in MP3 audio format in both English and Spanish.
Customers may listen to the hand- book directly from a personal comput- er or the audio files may be down- loaded from their personal computers to an iPod or other MP3 player.
The
printed handbook is available in Span- ish, Armenian, Chinese, Korean, Pun- jabi, Russian, Tagalog, and Viet- namese. Note: The audio California Driver’s Handbook 2008 is currently only available in English and Spanish. This project has been a long-term goal for the Department because it not only provides a learning alternative for the public, but this new medium will improve traffic safety in California. To download go to http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/audio_hd bk_toc.htm Q: My mother and my 17-year-old brother are coming to visit from New York next month for three weeks, but I’m worried that they won’t be able to drive themselves around when I am at work. She has a valid New York driver license and my brother has a valid New York instruction permit. Will this be enough for them to drive in California? A: In your mother’s case, visitors
over age 18 with a valid driver license from their home state or country will be allowed to drive without getting a
California driver license. In your
brother’s case, he will only be allowed to drive for the first 10 days of his visit using his New York instruction permit. After the 10-day period, he will need to get either a California driver license or a Nonresident Minor’s Certificate. This certificate is issued by the DMV to a minor who has provided proof of financial responsibility.
Log on to
www .dmv .ca.go v and click on the Online Services tab to make an appointment for your brother today! Save time. Go Online! Q: Can I make payments to the DMV through my bank? A: Yes. The DMV has the capabil- ity to accept fees for its online services, such as registration and driver license renewal fees, through online checking as long as you provide your bank with the license plate number of your vehi- cle. Contact your bank for details regarding your account allowances and limitations or for more information, visit http://www.dmv.ca.gov/faq/gen- faq.htm. Q: My father only speaks Spanish
so I always try to make sure I help him with his DMV needs. A few months ago, when I was not available to help him, he tried to use the online appoint- ment service on the Spanish DMV Web site and found that there was no Spanish version! Will this feature be added soon? A: Yes. The DMV has recently
gone live with the online appointment service on the Spanish DMV Web site. Now Spanish-speaking customers can log on to www.es.dmv.ca.gov
to use
the 24/7 appointment service to make appointments at any field office statewide. Like the English version, he will be able to make appointments for: Driving tests, Vehicle Title and Regis- tration services and Driver License ser- vices and more.
Stay tuned as the DMV continues to add more online services this coming year at www.dmv.ca.gov and www.es.dmv.ca.gov. Q: Is it permissible to drive a golf cart on the sidewalk? A: A golf cart is a motor vehicle and pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 21663, motor vehicles cannot be oper- ated on sidewalks except to enter and
exit adjacent property. Golf carts can only be operated on highways with speed limits of no more than 25 mph. For more information, go to: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d1 1/vc21115.htm. Q: Are there exceptions to the restrictions that minors must follow when they hold a provisional license? A: The law makes the following
exceptions when reasonable trans- portation is not available and it is nec- essary for a minor to drive. For all exceptions, a signed note must be kept in the minor’s possession at all times explaining the necessity and the date it will end.
• Medical necessity when there are no other reasonable forms of trans- portation. A note must be signed by a physician and explain the diagnosis and the probable date of recovery. • Schooling or school-authorized
activity. A note must be signed by the school principal, dean or his/her designee. • Employment necessity. If a vehi- cle must be operated as part of employment, the note must be signed by the employer verifying employ- ment. • Your necessity or the necessity of an immediate family member.
• If you are an emancipated minor, no documentation is needed. Howev- er, emancipation must have already been declared and Proof of Financial Responsibility must have been provid- ed to the DMV in lieu of guarantors’ signatures.
