Local tips

Block's Agencies is at 702 1st St in Thorhild, only about 75 m from 2 Street, which carries Highway 827 through town at 50 km/h. Since hours vary, phone 780-398-2575 to confirm before you visit; road tests are by appointment. The nearest railway level crossing is about 225 m away, with another about 855 m away. Slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Highway 827 becomes Range Road 215 about 1.5 km away, where the posted limit is 100 km/h, so get comfortable at higher speeds. Thorhild Central School is about 1.2 km from the registry; watch for students on weekdays. Map data shows no traffic lights within a kilometre, so most intersections rely on your own judgement. Our 81.0 km practice route uses 7 Avenue and 2 Street to reach 1 Avenue (Highway 18), then Highway 63 and Highway 827, with later sections on Range Road 213 and Township Road 600A. When you join Highway 63, practice checking your mirror and shoulder before merging and leaving a large gap to the vehicle ahead.

Common questions

Block's Agencies road test FAQ

What are the hours at Block's Agencies?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Block's Agencies at 780-398-2575 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Block's Agencies's road test booking page (the "Official booking" button on this page, also listed on alberta.ca), or in person at the registry. You'll need your 9-digit MVID number, printed near the barcode on your licence, and any outstanding Government of Alberta fines must be paid first. Registry agents set their own road test fees, up to the maximum in the province's Registry Agent Product Catalogue, so confirm the fee when you book.

What do I need for the road test?

A vehicle that meets all legal and safety requirements, plus the documents listed on the registry's road test information sheet and in your confirmation letter. The information sheet also covers eligibility, fees, and the registry's cancellation and no-show policies.

How long do I need my learner's licence first, and how is the test marked?

You must have held a Class 7 learner's licence for at least one year and be at least 16 (with a parent's or guardian's written consent if you're under 18). You fail the Class 5 road test with more than 75 points, or automatically if you endanger someone, drive unsafely or break traffic laws. After you pass the road test and a vision test, you get a probationary Class 5-GDL licence, which you hold for at least two years.

Is a practice route available for Block's Agencies?

Yes. This page has a 81.0 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
