In all seriousness, you want a good place; not an easy one. My wife took her class 5 at the registry on 11th ave around 1st SW and had an Asian guy for an instructor. I belive his name was Mr. Chan or Chen.
Anyway- she failed her first time around, and he took the time to come talk to me and tell me what she needed to work on. Spent a good 5 minutes going over stuff with us. She went back a couple of weeks later and passed.

If you suck at driving, practice more. We don't need any more marginal drivers making poor decisions and causing accidents.

Shawnessy registries. I wouldn't say they're lenient, but I would say they're fair. Just be respectful to your examiner, don't expect them to feel sorry for you if you make a big error. Drive properly and you shouldn't have a problem.
Don't speed, stop for 3 seconds at stop signs or red lights if you're turning right. Remember your up hill and down hill wheel positions. Look for uncontrolled intersections. That's a big one. Usually in older residential areas. Those are all common errors.
Good luck.

When I got my Class 5 I struck up a conversation with my instructor about the Flames and he didn't pay as close attention as he would of if we were driving in silence. Drive confidently and follow the rules of the road, it's pretty easy. I ended up doing my motorcycle test a year ago, and after driving for 12 years I thought my bad habits might cost me, but it was fine and I passed on the first try.

I took my advanced test in June. I went to Southland regestrations on Horton Rd and had a friendly, obviously gay instructor. I think his name was Bill. He spends most the test chatting. I had him for both the GDL and advanced tests and he didn't give me a single deduction on either.

Go to High River. Best place to take your driver's test is in a small town where the traffic is minimal.
