I was under the assumption that once you've passed the written (Non-Comm Class A) test you're issued a 'Permit' and have one year to take the driving test. If you do not do so the 'Permit' expires.
I haven't heard anything about a requirement for having a Non-Comm Class A licensed driver with you, that's a new one on me. And I've researched the subject thoroughly.
Search the Toyhauler sub-forum for this topic, it's been discussed many times.
how you gonna get the trailer there (legally) if you don't have a license? Same thing when I was 16.. someone (with a license) had to drive me to the drivers test location..
I'm specifically talking about CA. Once you have the 'Permit' it's okay to trailer without a class A 'Licensed' driver. Once again, you have 1 year to complete the 'driving' test.
You drive the trailer to the DMV office. Additionally, not all DMV offices are available for this test, only certain ones. In the S.F. Bay Area it's the Fremont Office that handles the Class A drivers tests.
"I'm specifically talking about CA. Once you have the 'permit' it's okay to trailer without a Class A 'Licensed' driver."
*WRONG* !!..:(
*NOT OK*..:(
Although the DMV driving examiner might *not* ask who/where the driver is that's accompanying you (to get to the testing office) while driving with a permit, but the DMV regs clearly state......
Go to the CA DMV Non-commercial Class A check list.
At the bottom of the check list, click the link for more info.
The link takes you to lengthy info - go to, "How to apply for an non-commercial License" - and then to -
Requirements for a noncommercial Class A driver permit"(Finally) the important
quote:"Once you have completed these requirements, you will be issued a permit.
You can
only drive with a person who has a California driver's license in the
same class as your permit and meets the age requirements."
End quote.
Simply stated, with a permit -
anytime you are towing your trailer (requiring a Class A non-commercial license) - you must have a person with a CA non-commercial Class A license with you.
The DMV examiner may not ask where he/she is, but most CHP officers will..:(
