Local tips
A roundabout only about 45 m from Western Coast Insurance at 101 - 6661 Sooke Rd. means you may meet one within seconds of starting your Sooke road test. Yield to traffic already in it, keep your speed low and signal your exit; there are more roundabouts about 620 m and 1.1 km away. The office is open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and road tests are by appointment. Sooke Road (BC 14), about 30 m away, is posted at 50 km/h, and the only two sets of traffic lights nearby are about 195 m and 265 m away. Sooke Elementary School is about 440 m away, so watch for children on weekdays; ICBC's examiners say speeding through school and playground zones is a common reason people fail. Our 8.9 km practice route turns onto Sooke Road, then Townsend Road, Wadams Way and Church Road, through a roundabout, then Helgesen Road, Otter Point Road and Grant Road West before a sharp left onto West Coast Road. Practice slowing early for that sharp left.
Common questions
Sooke road test FAQ
What are the hours at Sooke?
ICBC lists: Mon–Sat 9:00 a.m.–4:30 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.
