How to Pass the ICBC Road Test on Your First Try!!

[@omaral-mohammad372]

Just passed my N test today. The main takeaway for everyone tryna pass, EXAGGERATE your shoulder checking and scanning as much as possible and make sure that you call out when u shoulder check if the examiner ISN'T looking or is writing something down, they will assume you didn't at all if you don't tell them. They have dinged me for that over 2 times, I was only able to pass today because I made that effort to let them know.

[@Martymilner_]

How did you let them know? Did you literally just say “I’m shoulder checking”

[@Commander-Mustang]

Thats stupid. I failed like 4 times and trust me i have been driving my mustang GT for 2 years with learners license. I never had any accidents or any near misses. I am always careful but somehow when i do a road test they fail me coz the only excuse is i wasnt shoulder checking enough and i wasnt aware of my surroundings. Like you dont have a proof for that. If i wasnt shoulder checking and didnt have aware of my surroundings we both would have been in accident. One of them literally told me you can never argue with your examiner wether they are wrong or not.

[@den368able]

Hand-over-hand steering is fine (at least on class 5). In fact, it's recommended by the manual when turning right, since you need to execute the maneuver quickly. I passed my class 5 exam today without the examiner telling me anything about my hand positioning. The important part is making sure you have 2 hands on the steering wheel when stopped or moving straight. Do a quick scan of your side+rear mirrors every 5-8 seconds - shows the examiner you're being observant. Good luck people

For sure thanks so much! Glad you liked it and it will be a success if I can make at least one person less nervous lol

[@jessicamarch432]

Also... if you know anyone this was the best advice I got from someone while I was waiting to take my test. Get someone to follow the examiners and write down their routes then practice in those streets. I was already familiar with where I was going because of my instructor but if you can’t do that this is great advice. I know it’s kinda creepy but in terms of the test it’s a great idea..

[@sharkbiter4333]

Update: Thank goodness I finally passed my Class 7 road test today after 7 unsuccessful attempts in Surrey. I won my license on the 8th attempt. I was used to the roads in Surrey, that's why I did not choose another city to do the test. My advice for those of you that are taking the road test in Surrey is to avoid taking any risk that can result in a dangerous action or a violation, make sure to exaggerate your observation, and maintain speed to impress the examiners. Surrey has the strictest examiners than any other city in BC!

Hey just took my road test today, became friends with the instructor right away literally had a casual convo the whole drive haha. Also hand over hand steering is just fine doesn't matter. I'm in BC btw.

[@thanasios1963]

As someone who just failed, here's what I learnt. 1. Don't go overspeed in school/playground zones. This is an immediate fail. 2. Review your signs before the test. The test instructor mentioned I did everything right except for following certain signs. 3. Upleft, downright. When parking uphill, turn your wheel all the way to the left. Just memorize upleft or downright and you'll know the other one 4. Even when shifting to the right lane, regardless of whether you're turning right or not, do your shoulder checks! You can never really "overcheck". 5. Follow speed properly, don't be heavy or light footed 6. Try not to treat it so serious, like I did. Treat it like you're driving with your instructor or a friend, it makes it a whole lot easier and you won't be as tense. Good luck guys!

[@JimErvin-i8s]

Ya. I especially like that tip about taking a little more time to wait at a red light instead of turning right on it.

[@hunterwoodhead6691]

Hand over hand steering is suggested in the ICBC book so I think you should you that when taking the test. Asking the examiner is probably best

[@aedankelly]

Yes it is allowed but the lady I did some driving classes with said it is not good to cross too much.. if you can try the turn without crossing your hands or at least practice it so you can use it if needed. Also like I said in the video I'm not 100% sure, I'm just going off of what I experienced. Also if you are going to do the hand over hand method just make sure it's nice and smooth.

Go somewhere else for the test and take a couple lessons with a local driving school, they know the area and will run you through everything you need to pass the test. As you've done it so many times I'm sure you know the area, but instructors can help point out the little things

What I find annoying is the rules about speed are not consistent. They don't really care if you are going a couple km over 50 in a 50 zone, so long as you notice and fix it. But go 1 km over 30 in a 30 zone and you fail.

I've worked with people that have failed 2-5 times before getting class 5. Not sure how really, It's all common sense and the instructors can see if you're confident and know what you are generally doing. I passed the 1st time drove with 1 hand and talked with the instructor, rolled to the car in front of me without my hands on the wheel due to talking lol. Older lady too only got dinged 3x for not shoulder checking every time, not applying parking brake and going too slow in residential. Is it stressful? Yup, drove for 5 years 1000's of miles and dozens of vehicles, big trucks, trailers etc etc before deciding to take it and I was nervous lol.
