Enhanced Road Assessments (ERA)
Thank you for your interest in taking lessons with West Coast Driver Training & Education.
In British Columbia, seniors can be called in by ICBC for Enhanced Road Assessments (ERA) of their driving ability. It should be noted, however, that while Enhanced Road Assessments (ERA) are most often applied to seniors, anyone, at any age, can be called in by ICBC for an Enhanced Road Assessment.
The Enhanced Road Assessments typically consist of a Road Test plus other tests, including tests of cognitive abilities. There may also be medical reports required from physicians or other health care professionals.
We have done driving lessons for many seniors who have been called in by ICBC for Enhanced Road Assessments.
While our driving lessons are typically done with only the student/client and Instructor in the car, we have found that with training for Enhanced Road Assessments it is usually advantageous to bring the spouse/partner or the client along during the lesson. If the spouse/partner sees what we are teaching the client, the spouse/partner can reinforce what we are teaching and help the client prepare for the Enhanced Road Assessment Road Test.
Here are a few emails and texts we received from some of our ERA clients:
“Mark;
Just a brief note of thanks for the support and guidance you gave me in preparation of my ERA test . Thanks to you I was successful. The advice you gave me and the pointers you provided were most useful in the road test. I’m sure that I would probably not have been successful without the insights you offered.
Having an awareness of what to expect on the test and all of your advice proved most valuable in helping me undertake the test with confidence.
Best regards,
Ken N. “
“Hi Mark! This is Daniella from Victoria. You helped [my husband] P[…] with his ERA test he did 2 months ago.
We just got the result. He passed!
Thank you very much. You were a big part of his success. I used your tips to practice with him…
You are a great Instructor.”

“Hi Mark. Thanks very much for the super driving lessons. I received my drivers license [back] last week [following an ERA] after a little hurdle.
We won’t hesitate to recommend you if someone we know is looking for a driving instructor. Thanks again. ”

“Hi Erica:
My husband, [H….] had a senior’s refresher session with Mark today (I was fortunate enough to ride along with them).
Mark is an exceptional instructor and we would very much like to have [H….] take a few more sessions this month – before his ERA road test the beginning of next month.
Please save any openings or cancellations for us.
I am not sure if you work Saturdays but I will call tomorrow to talk to you.
Thanks so much for your help Erica.”
