PRINCE GEORGE— A new ICBC survey shows that while B.C. drivers say they are good at driving they are also critical of other peoples driving. 33 per cent of individuals even stated that other peoples driving skill were poor. While it may be true that your aren’t a bad driver, ICBC is reminding everyone to brush up on their skills heading into the summer months.
“For some of us, it may be decades since we learned to drive and our road test is a distant memory in the rear-view mirror,” said Jerry Boal, ICBC driver licensing office manager. “We’re here to offer a refresher and share tips to help drivers feel more confident with certain maneuvers such as parallel parking and reversing into a parking stall. These are important skills for drivers to have and it’s never too late to improve.”
According to the survey, B.C. drivers feel that other drivers don’t leave enough distance (58%), give space when others are merging onto the highway (47%), and don’t come to a complete stop at stop sign (36%).
The survey also ranked what moves drivers feel are the most difficult. 59 per cent of drivers say that they struggled to learn parallel parking with 41 per cent of drivers saying they avoid it when possible.
