Also Kunkstyle, the road test through Too Cool is tough. They will tell you that. If you want an easy test go to southland or something like that. I have friends that went to southland and the road test was way easier than the one through too cool. They drive around for 20 minutes, the hill start is a slight slope and you are done.
The one through too cool they will give you the full 45mins. They will take you through communities with multiple school, and playground zones and the hill start is a really steep hill. It will finish merging onto Crowchild into lots of traffic. They will tell you the test is more difficult but if you pass it you are really ready to ride. They are very open about how much more difficult the test is through them. If you want to make it easy on yourself go somewhere else. But I enjoyed the challenge doing their test. Passed the first time after the guy before me failed and the lady after me failed.
I almost failed, if I just didn't signal as I turned back into the parking lot I would have. I was 2 points from failing the test. I lost some points for not shoulder checking on a merge one time. I am pretty sure I did shoulder check but you need to really animate it during the test. Turn your head right around so they really see it. The other point I lost was that I failed to turn the turn signal off after a turn.
On the hill start when I stopped at the curb I forgot to gear down to first gear and tried to start in second I think and stalled. I realized what I did and geared down to first before my second attempt and took off. They give you three times on the hill start. You can’t wobble at all as you go or touch the ground with your foot.
