Vancouver Forum: ICBC Driving Licence - Burnaby BC

Hi, Can anyone provide some tips on how difficult the ICBC road test is for Class 5 driving licence at Burnaby BC center. It hasn't been a good experience for me at Point Grey. Thanks,

the burnaby center is supposed to be one of the easiest places to get your license... along with north van

It is not that easy i failed the test there and i know someone who failed like 3 times there

Driving tests are easy when you know how to drive. They let you know why you fail,, so if you don't agree when they give you the evaluation sheet you have the right to complain.

If you guys are complaining about Burnaby, you should see the Coquitlam location and realize it's not that bad. People who fail Coquitlam go to Burnaby for their testing.

Nobody likes driving examiners though. Kind of like lawyers but worse. It doesn't help when you have to wait a couple months if you fail a test to book your next one.

Nobody likes to be examined.
Point is, if you flunked you need some work, eh?
Deal with it, just don't kill anybody with your stupid car.

worst place ever, failed 2 times for my N and failed once on my class 5. Ridicious! The women never pass anyone there, major you know what. I know a girl that failed 5 times, all with women and passed the 6th time with a men. They are just jealous of your car and racist!

Which one is this? The one by boundary road?

the one by gilmore skytrain, I think there's only 1 in bby

go to surrey

when i went for my N the old philipino lady did mine

i did a perfect test but i screwed up my paralel park bad enough to warrant an auto fail

she let me pass anyways, i went on to get a 24 hour suspension and now im hoping to finally get my class 5 almost 4 years after getting an N come june

Class 5 is a joke. It's nothing. If you're really worried, go to chilliwack. If you fail in a town that has one traffic light and two stop signs, you shouldn't be on the road.

it was so hard, everyone said its easy but the lady i got was so damn hard.

North van is the best.
I got my N and Class 5 there.
THe examiners are so chill.

For my class 5, I had a fella, probably in this early 30s, who passed me even though I missed a school zone.
I did everything else perfectly, and actually got all the other school zones. That one school zone I missed I still have no idea how I could've missed it. But anyway, that was 2 years ago and I haven't been in an accident.

His reasoning was this. That was just an oversight. THe sign wasn't as visible as the other school zones, but that doesn't automatically make me a bad driver. I did all the maneuvers correctly, and got all the other school zones. He knew I was a solid driver. Hell I've been driving 2 years with my N....
I agreed with everything he said (haha obviously), but it's true. Worst case scenario, if some kid were to run out onto the street, I would've stopped in time.

I'm glad to have encountered an examiner who's reasonable and has a heart.

I still have my N and I see no reason why to go do my class 5. All the restrictions you have as a class 7 does not affect me at all, so why bother and pay ICBC another 125$ (50$ test 75$ new licence).
So pretty much if you are not going after a commercial driving job, then class 7 is perfect.

Because they might do to you what they're doing in Ontario.
