Does anyone have experience of good driving instructors in the Halifax area of Nova Scotia ( Bedford ). I have been driving on my UK licence for the 90 day period allowed for new residents but must now take the driving test.
I have just completed a 1500KM drive to the Avalon Peninsular in Newfoundland but would still like a couple of lessons to learn a few points about the test.
I can recall a post by Grumpyhaggis suggesting this was something that should be considered before taking the test.
Thanks a lot

Take it in Middleton, it is a breeze!

HI there we have a link to Ha's driving school on our webpage, over the last ten years we have been sending clients there to get an assessment lesson which they have used to get the tips they need to pass the test here..
hope that helps, we live in Halifax if you want anymore info contact me again.

I have recently just taken my test from the newly opened Bayers Lake location, I did not have any lessons and my I would say that the test was really straightforward, it was a 10 minute drive and that was it.

i agree the test in very straightforward, the assesment lesson is really just a way to gain confidence for someone who has been driving a long time in Uk and wants to know if there are any specific things that need to be changed in the way they drive . Some people are not confident drivers to begin with .
being tested can be nerve warcking for some people especially when it goes hand in hand with emigrating .

sorry about that dint use spell check..I meant nerve wracking !

Hi Nikki Dreaming

Just for my 2 cents, having been in Canada nearly 3 years I thought it was time to sit my test (lived down town and didn't need a car until recently), I sat mine at the Halifax shopping center and passed fine.

The examiner was 'to the point' but friendly, the test lasted about 15 minutes, my only advice would be to keep an eye out for signs and act accordingly, I know it sounds obvious but I think the test routes are designed to make sure you are looking, seeing and reacting appropriately .

Good luck

Thanks Tommyboy for the info, I'll check this out
