Alberta Class 1 Road Test

How can you do a proper pretrip without opening the hood lol someone's not being to bright with that rule

 

I was told at least in Ontario that it was a condensed pretrip so the tester did not have to spend hours which each person who was testing. Here you do open the hood but only to check the air dryer, compressor and governor were secure plus the brake adjustment level (on one tire).

 

I had to do a blind side back in around docked vans on my road test. Apparently the driving school was in transition and their normal area to do a left side back up was under construction. Lucky me. To make matters worse, there was a giant snow pile on my drivers side, which meant I had to watch how i swung the tractor around or I'd end up in that. Good times. Took 2 tries on the road test.

I was also told with the backup that I could get out and look every foot if I wanted to.

My Pretrip was also done with the hood closed but I told the examiner all the things I would look at on each side as if the hood were open.

Someone mentioned hill park, I did not have to do that, just a hill start.
