ABOUT 


Welcome to New Horizons Driving School, the Tri-cities' choice for professional driver training. Having been a former ICBC Driver Examiner and Young Drivers of Canada Driving Instructor with over 24 years of experience, you can rest assured that you or your loved one will be getting the best driver training in the industry.


I promote a relaxed and no pressure approach during the lessons, moving on to new skills when the student is ready and comfortable in doing so. At the same time, you will be taught the proper techniques and driving habits in staying safe behind the wheel. I look forward to teaching you how to drive defensively and proactively, but above all, hope to make every lesson a positive experience for you!

FAQ'S

WHERE DO YOU OFFER DRIVING LESSONS?

WHAT CLASS OF LICENSE(S) DO YOU TRAIN?

Class 7 and Class 5.

WHAT ARE YOUR BUSINESS HOURS?

Mon-Fri 9:30am/11:30am/6pm/8pm

Closed on Saturday

ARE YOU LICENSED AND BONDED?

Yes. I am both licensed and fully bonded by ICBC for your protection.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED IN THE CAR DURING MY DRIVING LESSON?

Only you and your instructor can be in the car to ensure fewer distractions and also for insurance purposes.

HOW FREQUENT WILL MY DRIVING LESSONS BE WHEN I SIGN UP FOR A MULTI-LESSON PACKAGE?

Typically, they are scheduled one lesson per week, but that is flexible depending on the student's needs.

MY PREVIOUS INSTRUCTOR WOULD ANSWER HIS PHONE DURING THE LESSON. WILL YOU DO THIS?

Never. That would be very unprofessional especially on your paid time. You will always have my undivided attention.

CAN YOU SHOW ME THE ICBC ROAD TEST ROUTES?

No. This is against ICBC policy, but more importantly, my goal is to teach you how to drive and not just memorize test routes. Also, that wouldn't be possible since there are so many different test routes used.
