Driving Lessons in Burnaby
Lessons throughout Burnaby, covering the Kingsway and Lougheed corridors and the climbs up Burnaby Mountain. Gilmore Station is one of our main meeting points.
Burnaby is a useful place to learn because a relatively small area gives new drivers exposure to very different driving environments. Major roads such as Kingsway, Canada Way and Lougheed Highway provide practice with multi-lane traffic, busy intersections, lane changes and maintaining awareness in heavier traffic. Quieter residential streets provide a better environment for developing basic manoeuvres, parking and observation skills.
Burnaby's hills are useful too. Areas around Burnaby Mountain and North Burnaby give students opportunities to practise starting, stopping and parking on inclines. Hill parking is an important skill to understand, including how to position the wheels correctly when parking uphill or downhill.
Metrotown adds another type of driving environment. Drivers encounter busy intersections, pedestrians, buses, parking entrances and heavier traffic concentrated within a relatively small area. Practising here can help students develop observation, lane selection, space management and forward planning.
The goal isn't to memorize a particular road-test route. It's to become comfortable enough with different road and traffic conditions that you're prepared to drive safely wherever the examiner directs

Common questions
Where do lessons start in Burnaby?
Gilmore Station is one of our main meeting points, and we teach across the whole city: Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds, Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and the surrounding residential areas. Pickup and drop-off may be available depending on your location and the road-test area. Convenient meeting points near SkyTrain stations are also available.
Will we practise hill starts in Burnaby?
Yes. Burnaby's terrain makes it unavoidable, which is an advantage. The streets around Capitol Hill and the approach to Burnaby Mountain give you real hill starts and hill parking rather than a gentle slope.
Can I take lessons in Burnaby and test in Vancouver?
Yes. We teach in both cities and can run your later lessons in the area of whichever ICBC office you are booked at, whatever city your earlier lessons were in.
