We do not book road tests months ahead into the ICBC 180-day booking system. We suggest a couple of different strategies for those who don’t want to wait three months. www.icbc.com/roadtest
COME DRIVE WITH US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Step 1. You, with our help, prepare for the test by coming to drive with us asap, ensuring that all core skill areas are mastered to a level that gives you the best shot at passing. This should be done weeks before you book a test. Once all your skills are ready, you move to step two.
GRAB A CANCELLATION ROAD TEST TIME ONLINE
Step 2. Clients search online for road tests and grab a short-term test date. Go to the ICBC Book A Road Test Page. You are watching carefully for a cancellation and grabbing it immediately. People usually cancel 3 to 7 days ahead when they feel the pressure of the test coming.
SEND US CONFIRMATION INFORMATION TIME LOCATION FOR ROAD TEST BOOKING
Step 3. Send us a photo of the test booking times and location, and we will confirm whether our car is available or not. If there is another test booked with our car at your same time slot, the car is unavailable. You must go back online and book another time. PLEASE NOTE: We do not provide our car on test day to everyone. You must drive with us weeks before your test day to gain our approval and to make sure you, our car, the examiner, and the public are safe. We reserve the right to refuse the use of our car.
WHY THIS METHOD WORKS
This works because many tests are cancelled a few days ahead because of the $25 late fee ICBC charges if you do not cancel. Most driving schools cannot accommodate road test times this quickly because they book solid to maximize profits. Most schools are also unwilling to ask clients to move for a fast road test because it’s too much work for the school. However, I can handle it by keeping my schedule flexible. Also, my clients are glad to move lessons if someone books a short day’s test.
OTHER OPTIONS FOR MANAGING ROAD TESTS
- Phone ICBC and they will gladly help setup a road test for you. Toll free in B.C. and Canada: 1-800-950-1498. Lower Mainland call 604-982-2500.
- Standby Road Tests are available at many of the ICBC testing centers. Please go online to locate one. Typically you would go early to register at a certain time and have a car parked there ready to go if someone fails to show up for their test time.
- Book 3 months ahead with the intent to gain test experience. Yes, there is value in booking a driving test three months in advance; it can act as a milestone to help move you into preparation. And Yes, going for a road test when you are not ready with the intent to fail also has value because it shows you exactly what an actual examination is and what to expect. Whichever works best for your learning style is ok; do it.

QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE YOUR NEXT DRIVING LESSON
What is their training? Basic 3 weeks to become an instructor?
Did the 3 weeks teach them safe driving strategies or crash research or any research studies at all?
What about their own driving skills? Are they trained? Skid school? Pull a trailer? Stick shift? First Aid? Any other safety training of any kind?
What was the last research study they read? Or have they ever read anything related to safety crashes, causes or the effect education has on drivers?
What is their crash experience? How do they drive?
How many years ago did they take their last training program or any related training? 20 years ago! Never!
GO TO THE INSTRUCTOR’s WEBSITE, FIND THE TESTIMONIALS NAME, SEARCH REDDIT, WHATSAPP, MESSENGER, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND ASK THE REAL PERSON WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCE WAS WITH THE DRIVING SCHOOL AND INSTRUCTOR before you drop $600+ DOLLARS!
