ICBC Road Test Failure Waiting Period: If you fail your first road test, you must wait 14 days before retaking it. For a second failure, the wait is 30 days, and for third or subsequent failures, it is 60 days. At Bayview, we use this mandatory gap to fix the specific "Dangerous Action" or technical errors noted by the examiner. .

To turn this "fail" into a "pass," follow this checklist:
Review the Form: Take a clear picture of your road test results. Text it to us at 604-499-0928 or email it to Info@BayviewDriving.com. We will help explain exactly what the examiner wrote so you know precisely what habits to work on for your next attempt.
