Driving Lessons

West Coast Driver Training has tried to avoid raising Class5 Lesson Prices and Class 7 Lesson Prices for as long as possible but with the rising costs of fuel, insurance and other inputs we will be raising our Class5 Lesson Prices and Class 7 Lesson Prices in March 2022.

West Coast Driver Training is currently charging $110.00 plus GST ($115.50) for a 90 minute Class 5 or Class 7 lesson. We will be increasing that to $120.00 plus GST ($126.00) in March 2022.

We encourage existing clients and potential new clients to book lessons at the current Class5 Lesson Prices and Class 7 Lesson Prices of $110.00 per lesson before our Class5 Lesson Prices and Class 7 Lesson Prices in March 2022.

Due to the increasing wait times for Road Tests in Duncan, many of our Class 5 and Class 7 clients are booking Road Tests in Victoria and are asking if I can do driving lessons with them in Victoria.

In order to accommodate these requests West Coast Driver Training will be now offering Class 4 Restricted, Class 5 and Class 7 lessons in Victoria every Saturday. We also welcome new clients from the Greater Victoria area.

For our Victoria clients and our Cowichan Valley clients wanting driving lessons in Victoria, we suggest meeting at the ICBC Driver Licensing office at #1-1150 MacKenzie Avenue or the ICBC Claims Centre at 425 Dunedin Street. These are the ICBC Road Test locations in Greater Victoria.

West Coast Driver Training has recently added a new 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid to out training fleet. It has had the corporate decals applied and the Instructor Brake installed on the passenger side and is now available for clients.

West Coast Driver Training has purchased a new 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid as a new training car.

It arrived at Jim Pattison Toyota in Duncan on 12 May 2021 and I will be picking it up next week after Jim Pattison Toyota has done the dealer prep on the car.

A shout out to Product Advisors Axel Clarke and Steve Reiffenstein and Sales Manager Kenny Hoang whom I dealt with for the purchase of this new training car.

I plan to take delivery of this car next week and it will be available for lessons once the new West Coast Driver Training decals and the passenger side brake have been installed.

Earlier today one of my clients, Sierra Robinson, did her Class 7 N Road Test in our 2020 Prius Prime. She did really well on her Road Test and passed handily.

But as we were waiting at ServiceBC in Duncan just prior to her Road Test, Sierra told me that the stress of waiting to do her Class 7 Road Test was similar to the stress she felt before doing her TED Talk.

I didn’t know Sierra had done a TED Talk so I looked it up on YouTube afterwards.

Here is Sierra Robinson’s TED Talk from October 2019 (posted here with her mother’s permission):

Congratulations to Sierra Robinson on her very interesting TED Talk and on passing her Class 7 N Road Test today.

And for all my clients who feel that stress before their Road Tests, take some inspiration from Sierra’s demonstration that you can deal with that stress and perform really well in spite of it, whether it is doing a TED Talk or passing your Road Test.
