^ why is it a pass? should be more of a fail, take richmond for example.
OT but, is it true for the class 5 that you can drive with 1 hand?

Btw for those of you who drive nicer cars, more like exotic cars, SOME examiners tend to admire your car and talk about it more than even examining you. Some may ask if they can drive it for a spin too
Real story, from the Richmond ICBC on Minoru
The car was a 911

just curious, are RHD vehicles allowed for the road test? it doesn't say anything on ICBC and i've never heard anyone take a test in a RHD car. any stories or if you've used a RHD vehicle?

RHD are legal here, so they should be allowed for roadtests. No one uses them because it's it's harder to make left turns and it could be akward for the guy testing you. Not a good idea.

i think the examiner will be biased to fail you before he even steps in your RHD car.

Class 5 road test is actually easier than Class 7. Theres no parking involved except when you're back at the office. My dad's a driving instructor and news says that 3-point turns aren't done any more. Might be only Richmond, not sure

no 3 point turns (from what my instructor had told me) might only be in richmond though!
short highway test to see if you can drive at the speed limit, your reaction, etc.
and then they take you around like the class 7N test (sometimes school zones, playground, neighbourhoods, they might ask you about the hazard perception...i didn't get asked though) Quote:

Btw I lumped school zones with playground zones (obviously playground zones are more strict).
The examiner actually asked me "how fast are we goin here" and I said "almost 50" and he said "well we should slow down because this is a 30 zone".
So yeah lol
but in the end I still passed cuz I did everything flawlessly except that missed school/playground zone.
fuckin awesome fella

yeah some examiners tend to be nice people and chat with you
some examiners are assholes and tell you to make a turn when its the last second till the intersection. for those examiners you should drive to the nearest highway and kick them off.

if you have instructor ask him/her to take you to all of the test routes and to run everything through with you just in case. cause you never know, they may have changed some things since 2 years ago. Quote:
