Meet The Vehicle
Toyota Tacoma
Vehicle:
2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Premium
Transmission:
Automatic
Benefits
- Mid-size vehicles are more safe than a small car
- Gain confidence operating various sized vehicles
- Better visibility
2023 Toyota Tacoma is considered to be a mid-sized vehicle (similar to an SUV). We find using this type of vehicle is not only the most safe, but also gives you the confidence and ability to be able to operate a small car, or big truck. We are adamant that our vehicle is well-maintained, ensuring your safety and comfort during your driving lessons. Our training vehicle has also been equipped with dual controls, allowing your instructor to take control of the vehicle at any time, if necessary.

NOTE: Lessons with Wheel Good Driving School Ltd DO NOT guarantee a pass on the ICBC road test. Test results are strictly based off of driver performance on test day.
Cancellation
Need to cancel? No problem! We require a minimum 48 hour notice prior to lesson start time, otherwise the lesson will be charged in full. Reason being, it is very difficult to fill that spot last minute.
Please refer to your confirmation email that was sent to you to Change/Cancel Appointment.
If you need to cancel a road test, please give ICBC 72 hours notice so you can have enough time to avoid ICBC’s 48-hour cancellation deadline. Otherwise, ICBC may charge you a $25 cancellation fee.
Winter Driving
From October 1st to April 30th we run directional studded winter tires which maximize traction in the snow, and on ice. The vehicle is also equipped with traction control, stability control, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and 4 wheel drive, which allows us to maintain control in the worst of conditions.
