I just got home after a driving lesson with a client I trained 3 years ago when I first arrived in Vancouver. I was with another school at the time but now they have 2 years of driving and are ready to attempt that big final second N test. What did they show me today? […]
Actually, it was a similar sign but not 2 occupants but 6. I turned right into this lane and failed to notice it said 6 occupants. We were only 2 occupants in my car. I failed. Did your driving instructor teach this during your training, yes?
Drove a bit in my home country and then found Cooper for ten lessons. The examiner got in the car and started talking about multiple programming languages. He knew that I was in the coding business. I love to talk about my industry, but it’s my driving test! I need to concentrate on my driving! […]
I roll right turns on red lights. I stop so close to cars ahead of me that I cannot turn out quickly in an emergency. I follow cars ahead on me closer that 2 or 3 seconds following distance. I often, regularly, speed and go with the flow of traffic. I do not fully stop […]
In my humble opinion as a driving instructor… Most if not all revert right back to their previous country’s way of driving within 5 minutes of passing the exam. Many are excited happy and very anxious to SHOW ME HOW THEY DRIVE like back home, now that they are licensed. I learned the hard way […]

Clients often inquire about the what I think the most common reason for failing a road test. I consistently highlight the significance of avoiding speeding in a 30 zone.Many individuals then acknowledge the importance, noting they need to pay attention to those white 30 signs. This approach is akin to the ANSWER method I encountered […]
