Driving test
Just a few days ago I passed written test for New Brunswick diver license and have an appointment for driving test. Woman who works for Service New Brunswick in Fredericton told me that usualy people can not pass driving test for first-second time. She said that if I will not pass test my home country driving license will be kept by Service New Brunswick and I will not be able to drive till I pass exam.
Can someone advise what is the main points when passing driving test in New Brunswick.

No idea about the ins and outs of New Brunswick driving tests but does this resource help...

Having checked your past posts to try and figure out where you have moved to New Brunswick from but I'm assuming you've already figured out that the following paragraph within the above document does NOT apply to you...
If you are from any other country, not listed below, then you will have to take a full driver licence examination, including written, vision and road tests paying all applicable fees. If you are from one of the following countries you may exchange a valid drivers licence for a class 5 New Brunswick licence, there will be a fee payable. Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands (Holland), New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Wales.
Kind regards,

However, another BE member has kindly informed me that the above paragraph does NOT apply to you. Everything crossed that you pass your test first time...let us know how it goes.

Re: Driving test
Garvard, I don't know anything about the driving test in New Brunswick.
But my personal experience, from doing driving tests in unfamiliar cities, is that it helps to go to the place from which the test starts, say on a Sunday. Then drive northwards, westwards, southwards and eastwards from there. This gives you some familiarity with railway crossings, 4-way stop signs, school and playground zones, and any other tricky situations that exist within a certain radius of the test centre.
Another thing that can be helpful is to take a refresher driving lesson. It can be helpful to have an instructor tell you the things that are particularly important in that jurisdiction and to point out any little bad habits into which you may have slipped. A driving lesson costs some money, of course, but if you compare that with the inconvenience of being without a licence for a while, it may be worth it.
As E & J said, all the best with your test.

Having 22 years experience on car driving in my home country (Armenia) today I am thinking how to pass driving exam (road test) in Canada. Because, everyone understand that one thing is to drive here in Canada and another thing is to pass exam to get Canadian diver license. I am here almost 1,5 montha and driving with my own driver license. I see how locals driving. Almost 90% do nor makee full stop at STOP line or reduce their speed at school zone.
