Driving Lessons Across the Tri-Cities
The Tri-Cities — Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody — give new drivers a great mix of real BC driving conditions. Students can practise hills around Westwood Plateau and Heritage Mountain, busier roads like Lougheed Highway and Barnet Highway, railway crossings in Port Coquitlam, and busy local areas such as Town Centre and Newport Village.
BuckleUp is based in Port Moody and teaches across the Tri-Cities. Our ICBC-certified instructor ,Farhad, tailors each lesson to your level, whether you are a beginner or preparing for your road test. Lessons may include quiet residential driving, parking, hill starts, lane changes, highway merging, rail crossings, and other key skills needed for safe, confident driving.

Driving Lessons
Lessons by Licence Class
The same instructors and the same cars across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Pick the licence you are working towards, or open your city for the local routes and test-centre detail.
For anyone on an L who has barely driven. We start on quiet residential streets wherever you are in the region and work up to Lougheed and Barnet once the basics feel automatic.
For drivers with a test date. Tri-Cities road tests run out of the Port Coquitlam licensing office on the Oxford Connector, so we practise on the roads around it and drill the lane changes, parking and observation the examiner scores.
For taxi, ride-hailing and small passenger vehicles. Lessons build the extra road awareness, smoother control and defensive habits a Class 4 examiner expects.

ICBC Road Test Prep in the Tri-Cities
Every Tri-Cities road test runs out of one place: the ICBC Driver Licensing office at 1930 Oxford Connector in Port Coquitlam. Whether you live in Coquitlam, Port Moody or Port Coquitlam, that is where your test starts, so the roads around it are worth knowing whichever city you practise in. Because the area includes busy roads, hills, railway crossings, and residential streets, students need well-rounded local practice.
At BuckleUp, we help you prepare by focusing on key skills such as lane changes, hill starts, parking, speed control, intersections, and safe decision-making in real Tri-Cities driving conditions.
Heading for a full licence rather than an N? The route there is changing. From 19 October 2026 a Driving Record Assessment replaces the second road test for most novice drivers with a clean record — see the 2026 changes to the Graduated Licensing Program for the timelines that now apply.
Local Test-Day Tips
- Be equally confident on hills (Westwood Plateau, Heritage Mountain) and on level rail crossings (Port Coquitlam) — Tri-Cities routes mix both.
- Practise multi-lane changes and merges on the Lougheed and Barnet Highway corridors.
- Rehearse a full range of parking — parallel, stall, and hill — since residential test streets vary across the three cities.
- Know the school and pedestrian zones around Town Centre, Newport Village, and Downtown PoCo where speed control is heavily scored.
