Why This Student Failed Their ICBC Road Test | 49 in a 40 Zone & Curb Clip

Review the speed violation and the separate curb, positioning and observation feedback.

Video breakdown

Study the lesson by section

Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.

0:01

Follow 40 as the limit rather than an assumed tolerance

The result records 49 km/h in a 40 zone. Keep within the posted maximum and adjust speed early. The instructor’s percentage discussion is not an official allowance to exceed the sign.

1:58

Start the right turn at a suitable point and speed

Turning too early can bring the rear wheel onto the curb; turning wide can borrow another lane. Follow the corner with controlled steering and a speed suited to its shape, keeping the vehicle within the intended path.

3:09

Correct the habit of hugging the right edge

The lane-position feedback is separate from the turn itself. Look farther ahead, use brief mirror checks and sit in a stable driving position. Leave appropriate clearance beside buses and other neighbouring traffic.

5:06

Include signals and direct backing observation in practice

The sheet also asks for more rear-window observation while reversing and includes a signal comment. Address these specific skills rather than focusing only on the two recorded failure events.
