Why This Student Failed Their ICBC Road Test | A4 360 Check & A6 Backing

Review the separate observation, parking, gap and control issues on this result sheet.

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

Keep the three-point turn on the road

The examiner noted a three-point turn in a driveway. Pull over with proper checks, then perform the requested road manoeuvre in a suitable location without using someone’s driveway as part of the turn.

1:15

Complete the 360 check before reversing

The A4 and A6 discussion covers observations before the brake is released and continued direct rear-window observation. Check both shoulders and the surroundings before allowing the car to roll; the video returns to these observations as a central weakness.

1:50

Separate gaps, manoeuvre location and parking margins

B4, B8 and B13 are different issues: room to turn without cutting off others, a suitable place for the manoeuvre, and clearance from the curb. Practise each separately rather than treating every parking comment as the same problem.

3:01

Maintain the limit rather than relying on a tolerance

The sheet records 57 km/h in a 50 zone. Treat the posted limit as the limit and correct speed early. The instructor’s speculation about examiner tolerance or marks is not an official allowance to speed.

3:45

Finish parking with the brake and correct wheel position

The remaining comments concern applying the parking brake and setting the wheels appropriately on a hill. Putting the transmission in Park does not complete every parking step. Use this result as a practice checklist, not a universal scoring formula.
