Other than that, I thought it went well. Yeah it was raining, yeah it was Richmond, and yeah he kinda screwed me by taking me to a highway onramp marked Construction Zone - 20kph the whole way, and then suddenly 100kph traffic.. lol. It ended kinda early though and I never had to parallel park so I figured I'd failed. At the end he asked me to pick any spot in the ICBC parking lot and back in, and of course I picked the one spot that was on an incline - he looked like he had fun watching me struggle with that one  .
I shut my bike off and started taking off my gloves but he motioned for me to keep them on. So by that point I was preeetty sure I'd failed. He put down the clipboard upside down, breathed deep, and sighed like he was all disappointed, and started talking about how I really needed to continue practicing low speed maneuvers, especially U-turns. Gave me this speech on how he'd been riding for 25 years and how it was really important to be able to control your bike at low speeds etc.
And then, flips the clipboard over - "Congratulations you passed."
... fucking troll

Congrats!
I've been putting mine off since last June... finally going to do it next week, also in Richmond haha. Do you remember the route?
I'd do the Sherpa, but I don't know Surrey as well as I know Richmond..
