Class 7L · Lesson #6 · 50 min
Readiness — at a glance
72
Ready
Sarah is on track. Vehicle control and parking are strong. Highway merging is the priority for the next two lessons; mirror & shoulder-check timing on right turns is the recurring theme to drill.
A score trending above 70 typically suggests road-test readiness is approaching — but only an ICBC examiner can determine whether a student is ready. The figure is the instructor's working signal, not a pass prediction.
This lesson — assessment
| Criterion | Mark | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-trip inspection | Confident | Independent, no prompting required. |
| Mirror & shoulder checks | Improving | Consistent on lane changes; inconsistent on right turns. |
| Speed control | Confident | Held posted speed in light traffic. |
| Right turns | Needs work | Drill #3 assigned for next lesson. |
| Lane changes | Confident | Smooth, well-signaled. |
| Highway merging | Improving | Hwy 1 East entry handled; needs more practice in heavier traffic. |
| Parking — parallel | Confident | First-attempt success on both attempts. |
| Communication & signaling | Improving | Signal timing slightly late on right turns (linked to above). |
Notes from the instructor
Sarah arrived prepared and confident. The main improvement area is right-turn shoulder check timing; we'll drill "signal → mirror → shoulder → turn" as a fixed sequence next lesson. Recommend booking a longer 60-min slot for the next session so we can cover Hwy 1 westbound.
What to practice before next lesson
- Drill the right-turn sequence at low-traffic intersections — 10 turns, conscious shoulder check before each.
- Watch ICBC's "Highway driving" video segment (linked on dashboard).
- Read sections 4 & 5 of Learn to Drive Smart.
