road test tomorrow

[matéo]

I booked my road test about a month back in order to get my N off.(hehe get my N off) that sounds funny. Anyways I havent looked at any books or anything because i totally forgot about it. is this a difficult test? can anyone run me through it? let me know some tips? is it as hard as the first one?

any info will help. I will check out icbc.com while you reply.

If you can do 2-point turns and 3 point turns, and can back into a parking stall and haven't picked up ost of bad habits, you should be fine! I had no trouble getting rid of my N (I did brush up a little bit), but that being said... That was 5 yrs ago. They were a lot more lenient then. Good luck! Just relax :)

[stringbeans]

its a lot easier than your first road test. just think of it as regular driving. they arent as strict as they were on the first road test, but you still want to check your blindspots and etc.

oh one difference is that they take you onto the highway, but thats pretty easy

[Miss T]

Know your hazards, as you will be asked to name about 5, maybe a 2 times during the test. eg. bicycles, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, blind driveways, children, construction, motorcyclist, warning signs, etc.

check this link if you haven't already seen it.

Good Luck!!

Yup just take a look through the ICBC website, and do those practice tests. I found it was the easyest way to remember all the hazards and little rules. It's so fast to flip through the whole book online. Just think of questions you have, and any weak spots, and focus on brushing them up. But really it's not that hard.

The one thing I worried most about was speeding. I ended up over compensating and driving 40km's the whole time. It was kind of funny because it was the only thing I got wrong on the whole test. *failure to maintain speed*
Oh and you have to do the hazard perception while driving. I was on such a slow street that I almost came to a complete stop. (not hard since I was going 30kms at that point)
My tester had to remind me to keep driving. :P

Just remember your shoulder checks, and mirrors, hazards, speed/school zones, and 2-3 point turns.

make sure to shoulder check everytime they tell u to go left or right:
i believe its signal > mirror > shoulder check > then go
they get you on that one, and u can loose lots of points!

and if your car is Standard, make sure to complete the stop on the gear. then when u comlete your stop , put in Neutral.


all best of luck! icbc SUX :P

[FeelGood]

what they all said.
best of luck!

Good luck. I'll be taking mine in August. My friend just got rid of her N, she said it wasn't too hard.

[Chewy]

yea... even if you got to turn into a left or right turning lane.. always check your blindspots.. actually anytime you turn the car check your blindspot.... dont let the stearing wheel slided through your hands as your car takes a turn.. make sure you do the proper method and hand movement as they want

[matéo]

so I passed with no mistakes at all.

Last week I received a letter stating that they were intending on suspending my license for amonth b/c of my 12 hour DUI. I had 21 days send in a rebuttal. The receptionist told me that they accepted my letter and that if I passed the test I would not get my license taken away.

so on top of my N being gone I don't have to worry about any suspensions either.

luck is on my side!

good luck its great feeling.


I took it in langley. Hazard perception was very easy.The test took me through about 3 school zones and playground zones. pedestrian crosswalks. no freeway but a 70 km zone. It was pooring rain so I was able to drive slow.

[charly]

thank you :)

i'm taking mine in burnaby, which hopefully isn't too bad.

when i'm done, i'm going to destroy every N i have!#%

[matéo]

really?

I havent even taken mine off. haha.



edit: Besides with an N I can totally hit on younger chicks without them thinking im 5 years older than them.

[charly]

yes. the urge to destroy it is high. though if i'm excited, there's a chance i may forget.

i don't need it to hit on younger girls though. i've already got 16 year old boys who are convinced they're older than me, hitting on me. :(

[desiRAWR]

I'm taking my test to get rid of the N in Langley next week.

EEK. Ok. So I've been driving for over 5 years now...but a test still scares me!!!

Never had to get an N. I did my test, I passed, I got my license. The end.

[acidic_liquid]

Congrats on getting your N! And good luck with yours Cheryl.
