Can people post the snapshot of their local DMV motorcycle test pattern?
Here's mine:

Or just paste these two GPS coordingates into google maps and zoom in as
far as you can go:
37.350291986417986, -121.99369758367538
Paste this into the web browser URL address bar while you're zoomed into
the test pattern to get the GPS center point of the google map.
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
Please post the motorcycle test pattern of YOUR local DMV!

I agree. San Jose must be impoverished.
I can't find the DMV keyhole for any San Jose office.
Santa Teresa DMV, 180 Martinvale Lane, San Jose, 95119 (800) 777-0133

Looking up nearby DMVs, at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/fo/offices/toc_fo.htm we
see this next closest San Jose DMV seems to have the same lack of lollipop!
Alma Ave DMV, 111 W. Alma Ave, San Jose, 95110 (800) 777-0133
37.315166462766875, -121.87707781791687

We already covered the nearby Los Gatos DMV which shows a BOX instead of a
lollipop it seems, unless the keyhole is hidden under trees somewhere where
a ground operative can find it for us.
Los Gatos DMV, 600 N. Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos, 95030 (800) 777-0133

Luckily, there is always the nearby Santa Clara lollipop.
Santa Clara DMV, 3665 Flora Vista Ave, Santa Clara, 95051 (800) 777-0133

Can someone on the ground determine if San Jose even has a lollipop?

Oops. Forgot to post the Alma Avenue satellite photograph.

One thing I noticed is that the javascript doesn't work well in other
browsers than Firefox so bear that in mind when you're centering the
picture using the right-click button in maps.google.com and when you're
obtaining the exact centerpoint using the javascript
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
