download the checklist:

Test Vehicle Requirements

The vehicle you use for your driving test must be safe to drive. Before the test, the examiner checks for:

two license plates. The rear plate must show current registration.
both front and back turn signal lights and working brake lights.
a working horn designed for the vehicle.
tires with no bald spots.
adequate brake pressure (you will be asked to step on the brake pedal to see if it works properly).
a driver’s side window that rolls down.
a windshield that allows a full unobstructed field of vision.
two rear view mirrors (one must be on the outside, to the driver’s left).
driver and front passenger doors that open from both the inside and outside.
a secured glove compartment door that won't fly open during the test.
a passenger seat permanently attached to the vehicle.
working safety belts, if the vehicle was manufactured with safety belts.
working emergency/parking brake.

Since it will be temporary just ziptie it to your bottom mesh, it might be ugly but look legit just for the test.

What he said. You don't have to remove the Euro plate, you just have to have the actual plate.

I didnt even do that. I had it in my trunk incase they said anything.. but the instructor just took a look at it a few times as she was walking around the car checking the lights.


BTW my horn sounds really different/quiet.. is it possible that one of them (if there is 2) died?

high tone is probably out, So, are you a legal driving Californian now?

I am! The driving test was pretty easy.. I made 1 error, stopping after the limit line at an intersection when I was told to turn right.

No Hwy driving, parallel parking, emergency maneuvers or starting on steep hills!

Is your GTI still a magnet for trust fund teenage girls in Mercedes? (and not in the good way)
