very well done! You have been practicing and getting in lots of road time prior to the test? Thank you for posting it and congratulations also, I go for mine Tomorrow.
Damn. Just failed my test yesterday in okotoks. I’ve been practicing this exact route but completely forgot that school zones aren’t active on weekends! Got 30 points for going too slow in them but in the final school zone that is a 50 on non school days, there was a guy in a truck behind the examiner which was counted as impeding traffic and was an automatic fail. Would’ve passed if it weren’t for that.
At the 0:59 mark where you are supposed to make the next right hand turn and you "switch lanes" are you switching from P3 to P1 or literally interpreting the roadway as two unmarked lanes? In the guide book they tell you to move into the curb lane close to the curb (P3) : signal out of the curb lane moving from P3 to P1 to p3 in the main lane and moving over to P1.
I’ve been watching road test videos and this is the first one I’ve seen a “hill stop and start”. So you just signalled right, come to a complete stop. And then signalled left and go when safe to do so?
Yes. I wouldn’t worry about it too much the driver will tell you with the instructed maneuver through earbuds in your helmet through a phone call. I’ve seen some videos doing full stops on the curb but it depends.
The test starts once the examiner is behind you and you're basically out of the parking lot. There's not pre-checks or anything! Hope that helps. Goodluck!
@DECKONR I took the test on Thursday and I passed! Your video helped big time! You really gotta shoulder check constantly! Haha. Thanks for the great video!
I only got a hill start just like this guy. I parked my bike outside the registry the correct way (45° to the curb, tire touching) and I think that was why he didn’t make me repeat it.
Yes. Rode to the registry with my learners bike license. You have to pass a written knowledge test, then you'll get a temporary license until you take road your test.
Hi! On a road like you're on at minute 15:00, when you shift into the left lane, is it proper to stay in the right side of the lane as dominant position? I'm planning on going for my test soon and I was under the impression that it's best to be in the left portion of the lane pretty much all the time (which in this case, puts you closer to the median). Appreciate any tips and wisdom :)
Great question, anytime you're switching lanes for your drivers test, make sure to switch to the dominant position prior to changing. For the test that's what they want you to do, but after you pass I typically stay in only one position. Goodluck! :)
So, at 15:02 when you said the examiner made a mistake, and you ended up turning right onto Milligan Way, is that the correct route for the test? Also, It seems you were able to talk to the examiner, what is the minimum requirement for earbuds, etc.? Lastly, do you know how long the test takes, currently?
It was the correct route, can't confirm if he takes that turn every single time though. I did talk to the examiner through a phone call with my AirPods in my helmet, so any earbuds should work for you. Test should take around 25 minutes give or take like the video time. Depending on traffic, etc of course.
Thanks for the great video. I just bought my first bike. A Yamaha YZF R3! I plan to do my road test in the coming weeks. It sucks having to find people to ride with you just to get practice. Lol
I hear ya. I’m in Calgary and don’t know anyone with their full license, but luckily the Facebook community is amazing. Lots of people willing to help practice and etc. Might even make a few friends along the way!
@@seanle5125 Yeah the Facebook community is great for that. I just passed my road test yesterday. I'm stoked to be able to ride anytime I want now. Hit me up if you want to go out for a ride. I do live in Banff though. So we would have to plan ahead...
I feel pretty confident tht i will pass the test…… should i take riding lessons?? Practice ?? I feel riding schools charge way too much to teach basic stuff
I just finished an MSF motorcycle course in Calgary and I can tell you it is worth spending the money. Unless you grew up on a dirt bike and already have motorcycle experience, take the course, there are a few riding concepts they instill into you that will make you a far better rider. Plus you may get cheaper insurance which would eventually pay off the course you took.
@@PURI218it can affect. My insurance company had a list of bikes, which require you to have 3 years of motorcycle experience to make insurance. But if you have completed course, they can insure it right away
