Reviews of Young Drivers of Canada - North Vancouver Driving School (Driving School)

Sergii Bogomolov

I took YD Drivers GLP Program Automatic at their North Vancouver branch in fall 2016. I am a new driver and wanted proper training for ICBC class 7 road test. The course was great. Most important the instructor that was teaching it had ~30 years of experience and was able to explain the material in short and easy to understand way. The classroom sessions took place on weekday’s evenings. There was 7 students total in the classroom which was great. The theoretical part itself was intense and very useful. We went through different road situations and analyzed videos, photos and newspaper articles. Also being a safe driver was addressed a lot like driving when you are stressed/angry, peer pressure, impaired driving. Every second session had a test based on material we've learned and in the end there was a final test. The in-car lessons were very valuable. I never drove before and my instructor taught me in an efficient and fun way. He made me a confident driver. Also part of the in-car lessons were emergency maneuvers that are worth taking even as a stand-alone lesson because they are so good. Me and my instructor pushed the limits of the car to learn how anti-lock braking system and skid control works and what the best ways to avoid collisions are. The course was well worse the money and I am very happy with it.

NOT the Young Drivers of Canada classes of my youth; my daughter seems to be missing a lot of fundamentals that were driven into me when I took YDoC classes when I was 16 - like the lesson of constantly scanning the rearview, side mirrors, side-streets and looking for road signs. She and her friend who both took classes here and both failed their road test after months of driving, regular lessons, and multiple 'extra' (and expensive) lessons. Unimpressed.

I was happy with Young Drivers. We choose them because they were the ONLY ones who could fit my son in the classroom session over spring break. (We had used another company for son 1 but they had no room in their classroom sessions.) My son thought the classroom instructor did a good job keeping them interested and he got a lot out of it. (amazing for a teenage boy) He mostly had Trevor as his instructor and he really liked him. What I really liked is that my son was doing okay so Trevor took him to an empty lot and practiced some emergency maneuvers. The only bad thing was an instructor at the end smoked and my son didn't like the smokey smell that hung on him. But he was still a good instructor.

Hard to book Road test. Call 3 weeks, still waiting.

Today, one of the Young Drivers instructors cut me off in traffic and flipped me off in a completely un-provoked situation... If this any indication of their teaching methods, I would advise you to take your business elsewhere.

We paid almost $2000 for class and lessons for my son. It's been almost 3 months. We finally heard back from a scheduler today to be told that it will be at least 2 more months before they can schedule an instructor him. They took our money without actually having the capacity to provide the lessons. I'm fighting with them now to try and get our money back. What a nightmare!
