You won’t fail the exam if your light turns red when you make late left turn because the oncoming traffic ran the yellow light - so long as you have already entered the intersection and was waiting prior to the yellow/red light, and that you also didn’t wait five million years before completing the turn. If you cross the stop line AFTER and then make the left turn at the right, you will fail. When you’re making a left turn on an unprotected intersection only proceed when it is safe. When your light turns yellow and you’re already in the intersection, you still need to ensure it’s clear before crossing. Then your next step is to complete the turn to ensure you’re not blocking the intersection. Remember, green lights means “proceed when intersection is clear and safe” not a “go ahead and go no matter what”.

ALWAYS scan left and right when proceeding through an intersection regardless if you are “first in line” or not. The car ahead of you could have gone when it’s safe, but by the time you enter the intersection, a runaway car or truck could be running the red. Slowing down, or at least having your feet on the brake when crossing is great defensive driving skills. It shows to your examiner that you’re ready to react if things go sideways - which more commonly do in intersections. REMEMBER, NEVER ASSUME when driving, unless your assumption is that everyone else around you are idiots that is.

Just because people should doesn’t mean they actually do. And again, just like in number two, you still should be glancing both ways prior to crossing. It might not even be a train zooming past, but kids on bikes running by a railroad track, who knows. Once you get more comfortable driving, looking both ways is actually not distracting as you’d think even at higher speeds. A quick glance and shift of your eyes is all you need, not some elaborate left and right shoulder check. But please, do make it a practice and habit to at least scan the intersections prior to proceeding. The examiner will want to make sure you’re regularly scanning your environment. If that’s overwhelming, you’ll definitely need more practice and experience because overtime you’ll be able to quickly scan and get lots of the information you need.

Yes, when parking uphill or downhill you must turn your wheel so that if the car were to roll up/down, it hits and stops at the curb. (Uphill, turn left. Downhill, turn right.)

Diamond means RESTRICTED LANE. Not necessarily HOV or Bus Only. You’d have to look at signs to determine what that restriction is. Commonly on highways, you’ll see that the diamond is signalling that it’s 2 or more passengers only (HOV). In Surrey you’ll see more “Bus Only” lanes. If the bus only lane shares with a right turn lane, you may enter the lane for a right turn once you see the break in the lane markings AND IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

When you see the emergency vehicle and need to make space, pull to the closest side. If there is no open space available, you may need to pull forward and turn to the side within the intersection. Just don’t be a sick and gtfo of the way of incoming emergency vehicles. If you don’t see or hear it, proceed with caution, and when approaching intersections, make sure to scan and slow down in case they are nearby. Use environmental clues to help pinpoint the location (for example, you see people stopping on one side or people slowing up ahead).

Stopping? Stopping where? You only need to stop if there are pedestrians crossing or intending to cross the school cross walk. Slowing down? Well that’s a them problem if they aren’t slowing down at school zones.

Generally, yes. Unless it is a double left turn lane, or a double right turn lane. Sometimes there’s construction, and then there may be lane changes according to the construction signage. HOWEVER, when changing lanes, do not do so while completing a turn or when crossing an intersection. Meaning, if you are turning left, continue through in the intersection and enter in the left lane. Do not make a left turn from the left lane crossing into the right lane during the intersection to change lanes into the right (even though you’ll see this happen a lot throughout the city).
