So, You Wanna Drive? Let's Talk Points
Okay, so you're finally ready to ditch the training wheels and conquer the open road. You've probably heard whispers about some mysterious "points" system, and you're wondering, "How many can I screw up before they revoke my learner's permit and make me ride a tricycle?" Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to spill the tea on California's driving test points system.

The Point of No Return (Kinda)
Let's get this straight: you're not playing a game of bingo here. Every little slip-up, every forgotten blinker, and every near-miss with a squirrel counts. But fear not, young grasshopper, you're allowed a few missteps. The golden number to remember is 15. That's right, you can afford to make up to 15 mistakes and still walk away with your shiny new license.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
But don't get too cocky. While 15 might sound like a lot, some errors are unforgivable. We're talking about stuff like running a red light, failing to yield, or doing something so spectacularly stupid that your driving instructor faints. These are what we call "automatic fails," and they're basically the equivalent of getting a red card in soccer.
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
How to Avoid Being a Pointless Driver

Tip: Break it down — section by section.
- Practice, practice, practice: The more you drive, the better you'll become.
- Pay attention: This might sound obvious, but it's easy to get distracted. Keep your eyes on the road and your mind in the game.
- Know the rules: Brush up on the California Driver Handbook. It's like a cheat sheet for life.
