For those of you that live in cali and arent licensed yet I found some info that may be helpfull in helping your obtain your M1 endorsment. I would recomend taking the MSF course but if your not going to go that route than at least take a look at this. It describes the skills test in pretty good detail and gives a drawing with the exact dimensions that the DMV uses when administering their test.
