Local tips

Westland Insurance Ltd. Partnership books road tests in Princeton at 114 Tapton Avenue. It's open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and road tests are by appointment. Bridges and highways crowd around this office. Bridge Street (BC 5A) is about 30 m away and the Crowsnest Highway about 60 m away, both posted at 50 km/h, and map data shows a bridge on the Crowsnest Highway about 115 m from the office, plus the Silver Bridge about 445 m away and the Brown Bridge about 635 m away. On a bridge, stay centred in your lane and don't change lanes. The Princeton Volunteer Fire Brigade is about 265 m away, so be ready to pull over for emergency vehicles. Our 10.3 km practice route uses Tapton Avenue, Portland Street, 8th Avenue and Cement Street to reach the Princeton-Kamloops Highway (BC 5A), turns onto Bridge Street, climbs into Ridgewood Drive, Mayne Avenue and Panorama Crescent, then returns along the Crowsnest Highway. Practice judging gaps before turning onto the highways.

Common questions

Princeton road test FAQ

What are the hours at Princeton?

ICBC lists: Mon–Fri 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; Sat 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Road tests by appointment. Check icbc.com before you go, especially around holidays.

How do I book a road test?

Book online at icbc.com (Book a road test), or call 604-982-2250 in Metro Vancouver, 250-978-8300 in Victoria, or 1-800-950-1498 toll-free; in other areas you can also contact the nearest driver licensing office. You pay the road test fee when you arrive. Cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead, or you'll be charged a $25 fee.

What do I need to bring?

Arrive 15 minutes early with the same ID you used for your learner's licence (one primary and one secondary piece), your learner's licence, payment for the road test fee, and a safe, reliable, insured vehicle with a Canadian licence plate and its registration papers. GPS and navigation must be off, and recording devices aren't allowed during the test.

When can I take the road test, and is there a second test?

New drivers take the Class 7 road test to move from the learner (L) licence to the novice (N) licence; the earliest date you can take it is printed on your licence. Since October 19, 2026, drivers with a novice licence and a clean record no longer take a second road test: a Driving Record Assessment replaces it.
