Yes, in fact not only will we schedule your ICBC road test for you, but your instructor will pick you up from home early on the road test day and take you out to familiarize you with the general road test areas before helping you get signed in. During your road test, the instructor will wait for you while you are on your road test and give you a ride home after you’re done.
