Kelly, Secretary\u003Cbr>California State Transportation Agency Jean Shiomoto, Director\u003Cbr>California Department of Motor Vehicles |\n\nPAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY  \nBLANK  \nDMV’S GOAL  \nOne of the Department of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV’s) major goals is to keep all drivers licensed for as long as it is safe for them to drive. Along with that goal is the responsibility to enhance highway safety by increasing driver competency. DMV recognizes that the independence and mobility that driving provides are important factors in the quality of life for most Californians.  \nDMV WANTS YOU TO PASS  \nUnlike the Driving Performance Evaluation (DPE), which is the basic Class C driving test, the Supplemental Driving Performance Evaluation (SDPE) is designed to evaluate the driving skills of applicants with vision or other physical or mental conditions that may affect their ability to drive safely. Many people take their SDPE without having sufficiently prepared or practiced, and then become very nervous because they don’t know what to expect.  \nThis study guide is designed and organized to provide you with a basic understanding of the SDPE driving test; prepare you to perform your best on a DMV driving test; and assist you in earning and preserving your safe-driving abilities. We hope that this study guide, along with other reference materials the department has available, will be a valuable tool in preparing you to perform your best the first time you take an SDPE driving test. DMV wants you to pass your SDPE driving test. Please read this study guide and the California Driver Handbook; then relax and do your best.  \n© 2014 Copyright, Department of Motor Vehicles.  \nAll rights reserved.  \nThis work is protected by U.S. Copyright Law.
