Feeling nervous behind the wheel is normal — especially for new drivers or those preparing for the ICBC test. Here are some helpful tips to build your confidence and stay in control while driving.
🧘♀️ 1. Take Deep Breaths Before You Start
A few deep breaths can calm your nerves and help you focus. Don’t rush — start slow and steady.
🎧 2. Drive Without Distractions
Avoid loud music or talking too much. Focus on your mirrors, signals, and surroundings.
👀 3. Practice Familiar Routes
Drive in areas you already know — this reduces surprises and builds your muscle memory.
🚘 4. Book a Mock Driving Test
Simulating a real ICBC test with a trained instructor can reduce fear and prepare you for the real experience.
🚦 5. Learn One Skill at a Time
Master parking, turning, or lane changes separately before combining them. One small win at a time builds confidence.
🗣️ 6. Talk to Your Instructor
A supportive instructor can make a huge difference. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or repeat lessons.
