    I would guess they take you out in a full sized van and see how you do with turns and such.

    Broke down today, some Hydraulic Cooling Fan failed. Was able to switch off with a garage bound bus, no time lost.

    Better than back on Remembrance day when the engine shut down and I missed about 2 hours waiting for attention.

    The road test is similar to the ICBC's Class 5 road test. Just drive defensively, follow the rules of the road and you'll do fine. Also, it may be helpful to review the "Smith System" - 5 keys of defensive driving.

    Good luck on your road tests @Kr6505 and @GuyinNorthVan!

    Wow... I hope you'll get it. I do not know how they decide but in my case I have very limited custom service experience.

    Back in the early 90's I think I just read the Commercial vehicles handbook; went down to Motor Vehicles and did like a 20 question test.

    It is a requirement BEFORE shwing up for Training! No Learners- No Training!

    Just go into ICBC licnesing center, ask to do a learners test for the class 2.

    Make sure once you passed it, have them put on a courtesy air brakes endorsement. Otherwise you have to run back and get them to add it back on.

    You'll need 80% to pass. Forgot how many questions there are...
