Hello all ! Today I went to the court as scheduled and the ticket got dismissed after I showed my CA DL. They treated it as correctable and I just had to pay $25 as administrative fee. I would like to thank everyone who helped me in this group and encouraged me to get the CA DL. Thank you all...

I am sorry for posting !

Thanks @quincy ! I was just wondering that how things work at court as no one seems to update how it went after their court trial.

Hi, Thank you @Zigner for suggesting to look at other DMVs. I managed to get the license from Vacaville DMV before my scheduled date. So now I have my CA DL. The thing I am worried about is my court date which is on Nov 19, 2019. I have no idea how the court works and what will be the verdict...

I managed to reschedule and I got a fresh appointment on Sept 19, 2019. Thank you for your help. I will keep posted.

@Zigner I looked at all nearby offices which include Woodland, Sacramento, Roseville, Vacaville, Folsom and even Napa and other places but unfortunately there are no dates available earlier to the one I scheduled in Davis. I will keep looking if I get something earlier.

Thank you @CdwJava for your detailed explanation and help. I will be here for a year, so I decided to get a CA license and also because I needed an ID card. I will proceed as you said and plead guilty to the court and explain why I was driving without a DL. After that incident, I stopped driving...

Thanks again. The officer marked it as NOT correctable. Truly speaking I had no intention of disobeying the law but to be honest I was of the impression that I can drive with a International DL and a CA permit alone. The main concern which I am having are steep fine or jail terms which I am...

Thanks again ! I agree with you that they might have stopped me assuming something. I will be here for one year as per the contract with the university. I am renting a house in Davis and staying there right now. I will try to get my CA license asap. I am sorry to ask, but can you please guide...

Thanks for the reply. I was stopped randomly by Davis PD and they asked for the license and I was cited. I am just wondering DMV handbook says adults visiting CA can drive with a valid foreign DL but getting a permit and waiting for the behind the wheel test (which is not in my hand) overrides...

California. I am a foreign national on exchange visa J1 and arrived in Davis, US two months back on June 1, 2019. I have a valid driving license from my resident country and it is in English. I recently (Aug 2) gave the knowledge test for DMV and got the temporary permit. Currently waiting time...
