Anyone done the Class A Non-Commercial in Cali?

[AMG1978]

I went to the DMV this week and took my law for Class A non-commercial exam, along with having to re-take Class-C and Class-M1. So I have my permit now and getting ready for the skills test.

Has anyone in California taken this one? I am curious how it went as far as having to do the "back in to a camping spot". Did they make you back up to a set of cones and are you judged on how close you are in the rear to those cones? You get a few times to pull forward and back if need be too I think? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

There was several threads on our toy hauler forum a couple of years back on the class A CA thing. Maybe the mod can move you over there if you don't get many helpfull answers here.

12804.9 deals with a Class B NCDL. Again, I don't think there is such an animal as a Class A NCDL...only a Class A CDL.

Could be wrong however......

To answer your question....The "back in" test was indeed made with orange cones and I had to start out perpendicular to the spot and had one chance to get out and look. Also, there was a line marked on the ground at the end of the cones and I had to stop within 3' of it and could not go over.

Hope this helps

Check out 12804.9 CA vehicle code and it does exist and is fully enforceable. Too bad 2 out of 3 DMV offices probably don't understand it. BTW it is required for gvwr over 15k of trailer and not the unladen weight!! While you are at it check out 25100 or 25300 requires 3 roadside triangles be carried in any single vehicle or combo when any vehicle/trailer is over 80" in width.
