New Day Driving School

I am a newcomer to Canada and I didn't think I'd need driving lessons again because I have been driving for the last 29 years. However, I had been hearing from so many friends that they failed the road test so I decided to get the services of Perry from New Day Driving School. Perry was very accommodating, easy to coordinate with and very generous with his time. I had 3 refresher lessons with him and used his car for the test (because one needs a car with Learner's Insurance to take the test). I would have failed if not for Perry's lessons and tips. I appreciated how he practiced me through the different test routes in Point Grey and critical things examiners would probably be looking for. When I passed, I asked Perry if I could give him a hug because he had been my best friend and teacher for the last 3 days. I will forever have his voice in my ear telling me to slow down

Perry is a great instructor! He will teach you everything you need for your road test. He will also assess you if you are ready, which I believe is really helpful for the student. Had a previous instructor and failed three times, but with Perry I finally passed my road test. Thank God and also, thank you Perry for helping me pass my road test in Point Grey.

Perry is the best; he knows how to teach and handle you depending on your driving level and gives you clear instructions. He adjusts by adding lessons if need be so that you are prepared and confident for the road test. He gives you scenarios as well so you can learn from any possibilities that you might face on the road; teaching you how to be a predictable and safe driver. I passed the first try at Point Grey! I am very happy with Perry!

Perry is the absolute best. I wish Google let me give 10 stars out of 5. He really knows what he’s talking about and you can just tell he’s an expert. I took 2 lessons with Perry and he was so accommodating and responsive with scheduling although he’s a one-man operation. 100% helped me pass the road test and fine tune the details. I had a different instructor previously and I failed the first try for class 5. When preparing for my second try, I found him on Google and contacted him. He gives the best advice and was going above and beyond to answer my questions outside of lesson hours. I really feel like he cares about his students and I think my driving has definitely gotten better after the lessons, so he definitely gives advice applicable to regular driving and not just the road test. Will surely recommend taking lessons with Perry to my friends!

Perry is a great instructor to teach me how to drive safe and smart on the road. He not only helps me to pass the road test on the first time, but also equips me with essential skills for daily driving. I highly recommend Perry if you want to take a road test at ICBC Point Grey.

Perry taught my sister and I and we both succeeded on our Class 7 tests. Since Perry is a former driver examiner, he offers great insight in terms of test routes and situations that may arise on the road. He was very clear regarding ICBC’s marking criteria and what the examiner will be expecting for a successful test. Perry also teaches in a calm and friendly manner. Thank you for the amazing lessons!

I've had several different driving instructors and tried 3 or 4 different schools. Perry's was by far my favourite experience. He was super thorough, made it a point to repeat routes and techniques until I understood, and really went the extra mile with every class. I have now passed my driving exam, and couldn't have done it without Perry's help!Highly recommend New Day Driving School for anyone, especially Point Grey examiners. Thanks again, Perry!!!

I am a newcomer to Canada who drove sometimes in my home country. I needed to convert my Hong Kong license to a local class 5 one, and I did five 90-minute lessons with Perry within the two weeks before my road test. I am happy to report that I just passed my road test in mid-December at Point Grey ICBC on my first attempt, and I feel very confident to drive safely on Canadian roads now.Perry runs this driving school as a single-person business and he is a very experienced and knowledgeable educator. He worked as an ICBC examiner so he certainly knows common pitfalls in the road test. He also mentioned that he has been working as an instructor for some time but Google cleared his old account with all the positive reviews, so people might mistake his business as a newly established one. Please remember to take a look at his very organized and informative website for tips.I would certainly recommend Perry to all my friends who are learning to drive or converting their licenses since he is a responsible instructor who goes the extra mile for his students (literally). As a result, no doubts remain uncleared at the end of each lesson. Also, the price of driving lessons is very reasonable compared to the larger driving schools that my friends have attended.Perry commented that I might be a rare student who needed fewer lessons than usual, and if I had risked it I might have even passed the road test after one lesson (maybe because I had done 70 hours of simulated driving on a programme called City Car Driving before coming to Canada). However, I felt that taking five 90-minute lessons was just the right amount for me to accumulate experience behind the wheel and learn everything I need to be a safe driver here. Accidents are costly so it is best to err on the side of caution. Perry is accurate and concise in his feedback and explanations, and he would not recommend his students to take the road test if he thinks they are not ready. Students can trust his judgement in the number of lessons required.

Perry is a great instructor very patient, reassuring and confidence building with a great knowledge of the testing process and the Point Grey Area. With his help I passed first time!
