Hey RS,

Has anyone taken the Class 5 test recently, if so, do you have any tips on it?

My brother is taking it in a couple weeks and just want him to have the best chance. I took mine like 10 years ago, so I don't remember much.

The only thing I got wrong is when I was highway merging and I still don't know what the right protocol is?

I took my test in Burnaby and while I was in the highway onramp merge lane I was docked points because I didn't "get up to speed" or "accelerate" in the merge lane. What is the law for this? At the time I didn't see a speed sign, so in the merge lane I didn't go past 50km/h as that was the municipal speed limit.

I still don't know what the right answer to this is? At what speed are you allowed to go in a highway merge lane coming from a 50km/h speed limit?

Thanks for your input!
