Inglewood DMV Driving Test Routes, CA

Route breakdown

Practice Tips for This Route

1. Drive the loop at least twice: once at quieter times, and once closer to typical test times.
2. Focus on smooth, early signalling and mirror checks before every turn or lane change.
3. Call out hazards aloud (pedestrians, parked cars, cyclists) to build stronger observation habits.
4. Practise gentle braking so passengers feel comfortable and the car remains stable.
5. If possible, swap seats and talk a friend through the route so you understand it from an examiner’s point of view.

• Practice this route near dusk so you're prepared for changing light conditions and the need to use headlights during your test.
• On 9th Street and other residential roads, hold a steady speed around 25 mph and avoid unnecessary braking between turns.
• Watch for stop signs at every intersection—this route has frequent stops, so scan ahead and brake early.
• Several turns on C Street and similar side streets are tighter than they look, so slow down before the turn and check your mirrors for proper lane position.
• Keep centered in your lane on narrow residential streets where parked cars reduce the usable road width.
