welcome to a new video i'm very excited about this video because i am not alone today a lot of you
were requesting uh for a video about the class 5 road test in vancouver and you know what i haven't
really passed that test because i haven't gone for the test i feel oo unsure right now i feel
like i'm not ready but my husband his name is Gagan um i mostly talk about him in my videos
he has passed his class five road test in vancouver on the first go yay yes i thought i will
let him come into one of my videos and talk about the class five road test and maybe share a few uh
tips tips tricks helps i won't say tricks there's no trick to pass this test okay so yeah so share a
few tips with you guys and then i've also prepared a list of questions that i want to ask you because
whenever i give my road test i also have a few questions on my mind so you have to answer a
lot of questions no problem no problem okay so are you ready game how do you feel confident oh my god
okay when you went for your road test what did you take with you what documents did you take
so after you pass your knowledge test for class 5 license in british columbia you have to take
your learner's license which they give you after you pass your knowledge test and two photo ids
of you you have to take them to the office when you go there okay so these three documents you
have to take them they're very important yeah and the photos ids can be your passport it can be your
passport it can be your permanent resident card your BC health services card or any your even your
employee card okay but it has to have your picture okay and your name and the rest of it oh all right
so once you get there you have to give your test so how long is this road test so it usually goes
from 30 minutes to 45 minutes depends time it's a it's a lot of time and especially when you're
under a little stressed i was a little stressed yes everybody's stressed right now every test
even if it's like driver's test or like normal test school test college test oh my gosh yes
yes we get your test means nervousness yes yeah okay so 30 minutes so 45 minutes
to the tops okay to the tops 45 minutes okay but it is tough i would say it's not easy that's why
people don't pass it in one go you have to be very persistent with a lot of things on the road
and you have to be very sharp minded i would say and it's tough but it's not impossible
it's not impossible yes yes you have me in your examples now like i am he's really scaring me by
saying no so i i would say it's not tough if you know everything i'm not trying to scare you okay
okay you're all right i know you're gonna do it in one go lots of pressure yeah anyway so after um
you get in you submit your papers and you're ready for your road test which is 30 to 45 minutes so
what is the first thing that your examiner checks so when the examiner comes up to you
he or she is going to ask you about the car okay first before sitting in the car they would see
if you know about the car you're driving okay you know about all the turn signals the brake lights
and everything so in particular they'll ask a few questions like uh show me how to turn uh show me
how to signal on to the left okay and to the right okay and press the brakes to show me if the brake
lights of your car is working or not and if you know how to defrost the windows of the car oh and
if you know uh where the indicator is located and you have to show them how to work the wipers okay
so you can't take your friend's car your e-brakes no if you even if you take anybody's car your
friends or mostly the people who get instructors they just take their cars for the road test
so whatever car you're driving guys you have to know the car properly thoroughly okay all right so
i get that okay so you need to have immensely good knowledge of your car
you need to know how the how everything functions and things like that okay so then if i ask you
the five or four or five most important rules that you must remember don't read my questions
i'm gonna ask you all of these questions so if you had to like maybe give us five most important
things that you need to remember while you're giving your road test so five important things
that you have to remember while giving your road test the first thing would be maintaining your
speed because 90 percent of the population who give their class 5 or class 7 or any sort of
road test in vancouver or canada or anywhere they always fail on their speeding they're
never concentrating on how fast they're going or how slow they're going because in both the
situations you're nervous if you're nervous about keeping your speed at 50 while you're driving in
city where the boards and the signs say 50 usually people if they're scared they have to they just
you know nervous they want to do the test like as fast as they can and just get it over with
they probably go more than 50 so you you fail right away and he's looking at me
because i have this problem so whenever i'm trying so what i do is i don't go over 50.
the other scenario goes for people like you i'm sorry to say this but the people who are
nervous in the other way then you are usually more cautious yeah so they would turn on less
than a speed you're required to turn they would probably be uh it would be really problematic for
guys who are you know slow to maneuver in the lanes and everything and especially while the road
is on 50 every car around you is 50 or 55 and if you're going on 30 35 that means you are you are
you're not safe you are a hazard yeah i just think i'm safe i drive slow but I am not safe
so the first thing would be the speed right and the second thing i would say would be your turn
signals okay always remember when to give when to start the turn signal and when to turn it off
especially to turn it off also popularly known as indicators in most south asian countries yeah
indicators so if you're given a left-hand side signal to turn you have to know when to turn it on
and when you have made the turn when you're in the lane you're supposed to be turn it off right away
yeah it can't keep going on it can't be going tick tick tick tick all the time because that's gonna
make you look silly okay and anything else you need to remember a lot of things okay so we've
just been too so yeah so the third thing and the most important thing would be your shoulder checks
so whenever you're trying to move from one lane to the other or you're taking a turn to the right or
to the left or wherever you have to do shoulder check in the same direction you're turning into
okay like for example if you're turning left you before turning left you turn around move your chin
behind look through the rear view window of your car and see if there's nobody in your blind spot
okay do your shoulder checks because they are very important they're very particular about shoulders
yes and they specifically have a mirror with them stuck right beside them just to see your eyes if
you're doing your shoulder checks if you're doing your rear view rear mirror checks if you know
the surroundings of your car if you're just going blindly so the next important thing while you're
driving would be the road signs and the lanes reading the road signs is important because the
examiner who is with you might probably ask you what the root sign means okay so you have to be
prepared for that okay so it i think it's it's a good idea to read your knowledge test related
book that both yeah i would just revise your book yeah quite thoroughly before your test
right though you'll be very fresh in your mind with the signals right you also told me that
it's they also see whether you're just very cautious in your environment yeah that's what
the mirror is for so they will obviously check if you're doing your three point check which is like
left hand side rear view mirror check right hand side rear view mirror check the middle rear view
mirror check what kind of parking did you have to do in the class 5 road test so specifically
in class 5 road test you have to do a lot of parking so which will include curbside parking
and uh reverse parking and roadside parking when there's no curb okay and
uphill and downhill parking but do they allow you to use the rear view mirror and the reverse
camera yes they do but you cannot just depend on your rear view camera you have to take a turn
and do a 360 check while you're reversing your car because here everywhere is a hazard so that's what
makes it difficult right it's difficult yes thanks thanks for the encouragement okay so um when it
comes to um the areas that they take you to during your 45-minute route so where all did you go so
uh we start off from the streets the city the city streets and then you go to different intersections
they'll probably make you do like a left or a right turn like a hundred times so that they see
that you're very proper about it you're very good at it then they'll they'll take you to a road uh
in a school area okay so school zone interstate highways if they mean to freeway yes all right you
have to be prepared for anything so school zones city driving and freeways that's right yes yes
like you said that sometimes they'll be sitting in your car and they'll ask you to tell you about
what is this road sign and what is that do they ask you any other questions yeah the hazards
while you're driving the examiner would ask you tell me the hazards you see on the road yeah okay
and in class 5 you're not supposed to stop as in class 7 you can stop and tell them
point out or tell them where the hazards are but in class 5 you have to keep driving
and whatever comes up to you keep telling them keep telling them whatever you see is
the hazard trees bushes cars pavements pedestrians pedestrians bicycle riders fire hydrants a lot of
things even the car parks on the curb they're a hazard too so until they tell you to stop keep
going yeah keep telling them because it has it has it has it it's better to actually take one or
two classes with a qualified driving instructor because they will also educate you about what
exactly would happen and they would act like your examiner so that can be a good dry run right yes
so that'll be a very good dry run because all the instructors that you will hire for yourself for
a day or two they'll take you to the same route the examiner would take you when you pass or fail
okay don't fail none of you i really hope all of you pass you'll pass yeah so when you fail or pass
so how do you get to know whether you fast or fail so after they take you back to the uh icbc office
where you started initially they will write down all the flaws all the uh the things you did yes
you did well things you didn't do too well didn't do too well they'll probably mark it down they'll
just sit by themselves for two three minutes and tell you right away if you've passed or not
and especially if you're not pass you should have somebody to drive you back with a class 5 license
or call a yeah because you cannot drive back alone i hope you know that that if you
have a class 5 learners licensed you cannot drive alone yes you have to have a class 5
bearer with you all the time absolutely but luckily for us gotten past and i'm very happy
because right now i don't have a class 5 license i want to learn the sizes yeah i hope so and
i'm very happy that at least i don't have to worry about who's going to take me here
nobody should be worried about this test just be prepared that is all right be hundred percent
confident don't be nervous because when you're nervous you tend to make mistakes
right so don't be nervous and practice and if you don't feel ready then take your time like i don't
feel ready right now so i'm taking my time and i'm practicing and i want to go for my test fully
prepared i would rather prepare more than just go unprepared unprepared yes and fail right so that's
that's what i am doing and helping me out with that and i hope that he's been able to help you
out as well so i'm going to shut my book and i've asked you all all my questions and um i always
