The delays create problems for people needing to drive to work or for families keen to let older teens start driving themselves around. The province says the changes will speed up testing "while continuing to elevate drivers' skills," but some Ontario driving instructors aren't convinced it's the right move.
Sam Chong trains new driving instructors through a program at Humber College in Toronto. He also heads the Association of Professional Driving Instructors of Ontario, an industry group with over members. Chong has been frustrated by a lack of clarity from the province about the changes, which he said appear to have been happening informally for the past few weeks.
He said driving instructors have had recent applicant tests come back with three elements on the score sheet — three-point turns, parallel parking and emergency roadside stops — scratched out by testers.
Chong estimated the changes could shave 15 minutes off a typical minute testing time, but said overall evaluation of drivers will suffer. Waseem Qazi is a private driving instructor with 20 years of experience and the owner of Driverzed. He's OK with the changes if they're temporary, saying they effectively shift to focus on everyday driving rather than slow-speed manoeuvres. Still, he said, instructors should make a point of teaching new drivers these skills even if they're no longer part of the test.
