We will go over some of your general driving skills breaking your old habits and spend time preparing for the last road test! Hazard perception while driving will be expected as well as a formal highway/freeway drive. You will then be ready to take the test with ICBC to allow you to have a class 5 licence……after that….no more road tests until you’re 80!
