Road Test !!

YAHOO !!!!! I got my interim full fledge Class 5 Driving License today, I can now drive - the actual driving license will come by mail in 10 days. Normally, when you pass the Knowledge test you will be only allow to take the Class 7 Road Test which is a "N" license & the license has many limitation regarding passenger & stuff. Since I have a Malaysian license & have more than 2 years experience they allow me to skip the Class 7 & take the Class 5 right away.

At the beginning when I heard from the others that the Road Test here is difficult, I thought to myself that I'm gonna probably take the test 2-3 times before I pass. I was really happy I manage to PASS it with just 1 try .... although I did take about 7 driving lessons from a instructor. (i.e. each lesson is 2 hours & cost CAD 70)

Getting a driving license here really cost a BOMB !! The "Road Test" itself cost CAD 50 & since I do not have a car I need to rent my instructor's car which cost CAD 100. (this include 1 hr pre-test lesson & 1hr rental for the car to take the test) After I passed the test I need to pay another CAD 31 for the 2 years validity of my driving license. Nevertheless, I'm really delighted that I have PASS.

ps. Will go to Burnaby ICBC on Mon to pick up my Malaysian Driving License which was taken away by them when I pass my knowledge test.
