[xodkmluvsyouxo]

I have heard that ALMOST EVERYONE Fails here.. my test is on the thirteenth of July so now i am SUPER nervous. Did anyone have a problem passing here? and how many parks do you have to do? corner backing parallel etc.

I passed here on the first time. I know plenty of other people that did too.There's one hill park, one 90 degree back in and one parallel, just like every other driver's test in MN.

i am going to take my test tomorrow and i was wondering about going into a one way to a two way.. do you have to go to the far left???

and is it true if you are the same sex as the person testing you, its harder and you have bigger chance in failing???

I passed and I my instructor was another guy.

Yes, you need to be in the farthest lane left or right corresponding to turns unless there are signs explicitly stating otherwise. If you don't know that, you shouldn't have passed your permit test, much less your drivers' test.

has anyone taken a CDL test there, is it also on a closed course?

I'm taking my test in Plymouth too, I'm really nervous for it and all these postings have been really helpful. Is there anything else i should know?

uphill parking, downhill parking, parallel and 90 degree backing. Beware the 'no right on red' sign. Also, never cross multiple lanes to get to the outside lane all at once - always turn into the nearest lane, then signal,check,change, signal,check, change. Finally, be aware of what you need to do when turning from a two-way street into a one-way. I have include the current statute following this blurb. Oh,and bumping the curb on parallel parking won't fail you, but they will deduct points. Bumping a cone, on the other hand, is an automatic fail.

169.19 TURNING, STARTING, AND SIGNALING. Subdivision 1. Turning at intersection. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn at an intersection shall do so as follows:
(a) Both the approach for a right turn and a right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.
(b) Approach for a left turn on other than one-way roadways shall be made in that portion of the right half of the roadway nearest the centerline thereof, and after entering the intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection to the right of the centerline of the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable the left turn shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the left of the center of the intersection.
(c) Approach for a left turn from a two-way roadway into a one-way roadway shall be made in that portion of the right half of the roadway nearest the centerline thereof and by passing to the right of such centerline where it enters the intersection.
(d) A left turn from a one-way roadway into a two-way roadway shall be made from the left-hand lane and by passing to the right of the centerline of the roadway being entered upon leaving the intersection.
(e) Where both streets or roadways are one way, both the approach for a left turn and a left turn shall be made as close as practicable to the left-hand curb or edge of the roadway.

Well--hopefully after 4-5 years these posters have finally gotten their license--if not, it's probably best they give up trying

Hi everyone,

I know this post is pretty old and is not active anymore. But, just have a quick query on the Plymouth DMV road test. Any help would be much appreciated.

So, I searched online for the Plymouth road test circuit and found that the starting point has four lanes, marked 1,2,3 and 4 from where we have to take a mandatory right turn on a one way street. My question is, if I have to start from lane 1 which is at the farthest left and I have to take a right turn, on which lane should I complete my turn (extreme left or right lane)?

And, is there any way I can go and check the circuit before going for the test. I know we are not allowed to drive or practice there, but can we at least park our vehicle at the DMV parking and walk and check the whole circuit?

Thanks for all the help!
