DO YOU WORK IN THE EVENINGS AND ON WEEKENDS?
We offer driving lessons on weekends and evenings. However, we aim to optimize the value of our lessons. Ideally, we would like to practice on weekday mornings and afternoons when school zones are active and there's more traffic on the road. Your test will take place on a weekday. It's worth noting that school zones are not in effect on weekends and traffic volumes are typically lower.
WHERE DO I TAKE MY ICBC ROAD TEST?
4001 15th Avenue, Prince George BC
HOW DO I KNOW YOUR VEHICLE IS SAFE FOR LESSONS?
Our vehicle undergoes an annual commercial inspection, and we have the maximum insurance on the vehicle required by ICBC for car training. Our vehicles are also equipped with dual brake and gas pedals.
HOW MANY DRIVING LESSONS DO I NEED?
There is no requirement for anyone to use a driving school before they go for their road test. However, how many lessons you need will depend on your previous driving experience, driving habits, your confidence and aptitude for learning to drive. Everyone learns at different speeds. A one-on-one driving lesson with us will provide you with immediate feedback, and as an owner and instructor I will personally be following your progress and advising you accordingly.
CAN I TEXT YOU?
Yes, you can text us anytime.
WHEN SHOULD I START TAKING LESSONS?
Anyone can improve their driving at any time. You could have your full privilege license (Class 5)- a driving instructor can help you learn certain maneuvers you may be struggling with and provide you with skills to be a safe and defensive driver. New drivers with a learner’s license (Class 7L) - ICBC recommends you have at least 60-hours of driving experience or practise before your Class 7N road test. We highly recommend a new driver to start taking their lessons upon receiving their learner's license (Class 7L). A few lessons in the early stages will provide you with a good idea of what you should work towards over the next year with your co-pilot. Drivers with more driving experience may want a couple of lessons before their road test to improve their driving skills, learn parking maneuvers for their road test and work on driving habits that may require some attention.
