Driving Lessons for Seniors
Confidence at every age
Experience is a great teacher, but the roads are constantly changing. At Banur Driving School, we believe staying mobile and independent is vital as we age. Our senior driving lessons are designed for the concerns of mature drivers, in a calm, respectful, and supportive environment.
Whether you want to brush up on new traffic laws or feel more secure at busy intersections, our patient instructors will help you stay behind the wheel for as long as it is safe to do so.
Our 90-minute refreshers
Sessions take place in our modern, dual-controlled vehicles, so your safety is covered at all times. During the 90 minutes we focus on:
- Modern road rules: Refreshing your knowledge of new signs, bike lane protocols, and roundabout navigation.
- Confidence building: Practice in a stress-free setting to help you feel comfortable in high-traffic areas.
- Vehicle familiarity: Understanding the safety features of modern cars.
Prepare for your ICBC Enhanced Road Assessment (ERA)
If RoadSafetyBC has asked you to complete an Enhanced Road Assessment, there is no need to worry. The ERA is not a pass-or-fail computer test. It is a check-in to make sure you have the support you need to drive safely.
The ERA is a 90-minute assessment in three parts:
- Pre-trip orientation: Getting comfortable with the vehicle's controls.
- 45-minute on-road drive: A casual drive to observe your natural habits.
- Post-trip review: A helpful discussion of your performance and any recommendations for the future.
Our ERA prep sessions walk you through exactly what to expect, so you can go into your assessment prepared and relaxed.
