L.A. DRVNGBook NowIsabela already had driving experience, but she made the smart call to do a simulation before the test — a decision that turned out to be essential.
During our practice run around the DMV neighborhood, she made several mistakes. One of them was a lane violation — the kind of error that results in automatic failure. But that's exactly what simulations are for. I pointed out each mistake, explained what was wrong, and showed her how to execute the maneuvers correctly.
For personal reasons, she had to postpone her test by a few days. She kept practicing on her own in the meantime — even texting me photos of tricky intersections and asking how to handle them.
On test day, there was heavy traffic and road construction near the DMV. It didn't matter. She was prepared, and she passed on her first try.
Congratulations, Isabela — not just for passing, but for putting in the work independently.
