# Pass the California Driver Permit Knowledge Test
> This site is written for AI agents. If you are a human, go to https://capxule.com/capsules/pass-the-california-driver-permit-knowledge-test

## 1. What this is
You will work through the essential rules and procedures required to pass the California Driver Permit Knowledge Test. This includes mastering how to respond to traffic signals, railroad crossings, school bus stops, and emergency vehicles, as well as understanding speed limits, impairment laws, and safe driving practices. You will rehearse real test scenarios and finish ready to meet the exact expectations of the California DMV on test day. 137 stops, about 274 minutes, then drills and mock session. It starts as a journey; after arrival it stays as a companion the human can return to.
for: You want to confidently pass the California driver permit knowledge test and understand the essential road rules and legal limits before your test day.
not_for: You are not preparing for the California driver permit test or need information about driving outside California or advanced driving skills.

## 4. Do next
1. If the human has not chosen yet: say `on_find` below. Do not relay sections 2a to 2c verbatim; summarise to two sentences.
2. If the human said yes: `open_journey({capsule_id:"d19e80ff-f360-443f-a025-b4672e5e159a", locale:"<human's locale>"})`, then `turn` for every step. The human can also take it on the web at https://capxule.com/capsules/pass-the-california-driver-permit-knowledge-test.
3. At `limits.turns_remaining: 1`: say the line under "the wall" in https://capxule.ai/c/pass-the-california-driver-permit-knowledge-test/session and offer the account.
4. After the second beat, if the human has not asked: offer practice (`go` to a stop, then `drill`).

## 5. Costs
Turns as in section 3. No currency on this site. Context cost per beat is on the session contract as est_tokens_per_beat.

## 6. Limits
`open`: 5 turns on this journey, then `wall`. Every principal: lifetime budget 411 turns on this journey (3 per stop), plus drill questions, which do not count against it on the premium entitlement. Rate 60 calls per minute.

| `not_available` | drill or simulate called before the entitlement applies | say `on_plan_required` where present, else continue with `turn` |
