Driving schools often engage in the practice of bringing their students to areas near DriveTest Centres to help them get a sense of the surroundings they will encounter during their road test. For example, Tony Qureshi of ABC Driving School says many driving schools in Oakville and Mississauga bring their students to Burlington where pass rates could be higher. But while many students find it helpful to practice on possible road test routes, others are not so fond of the routine.
Some people believe it gives students an unfair advantage and strips them of true learning opportunities. There are also concerns that the roads in certain areas get too crowded, with as many as 20 driving schools operating in some areas. Regions such as Oakville, Guelph and Brampton have even implemented bylaws to prevent driving schools from practising in test routes.
In contrast, others argue that student drivers cannot improve unless they are exposed to different environments. 'I think it benefits students to practice on other streets,' says Meed Ward, a Burlington resident whose daughter currently has a learner's permit. 'It's how they learn.'
In support of the practice, several student drivers across Ontario took to online forums where they shared the routes they took during their road tests. One thread on RedFlagDeals.com has attracted commenters from all over the province, and majority of them seem find the discussion helpful.
It's important to note that road test routes used by examiners vary from test to test.
