Hi!

Can someone help me practice driving near the Oceanside DMV area?

I am an adult with a valid CA learner's permit. I know how to drive but just need to build some confidence and to get to know the DMV area a bit ahead of my road test. I am taking official driving lessons from a school but just wanted to drive a bit on the side to gain confidence.

I do not have a car so I would need to practice in your car- can pay/hour.

Please DM. Thanks.

So, I had my first road test at Oceanside DMV, and I failed it- I had one critical error, so it was an automatic fail within the first 5 mins. I was also very nervous, and i think the examiner was a bit frustrated overall, and my nervousness didn't help. He was not rude per say but his demeanour made me antsy overall.

It's a route I had practiced multiple times, and I am generally good at driving(my instructor, who is a family friend, mentioned this, and so did a neighbour who evaluated me before the test), but on the test, I missed a major road marking that said keep clear in front of a fire station. Because of this, I am thinking of hiring a driving school instructor for formal sessions.

I need to ask people if they'd recommend taking the test again at Oceanside or would they recommend changing the location to San Marcos. Whilst the advantage of Oceanside is that I know the area and route and I have never been to San Marcos, so I am unfamiliar with that route. But at the same time, some people tell me San Marcos- its easier to pass the test- is that true?
