To whom this may reach,
As a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, I formally request that you provide me with:
- A detailed copy of all Class 7 (Novice) Tests with the final results from each of those tests that took place in all of the Metro Vancouver region from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019.
If possible as to avoid photocopying fees, please forward the information electronically to the listed email address in a PDF. If you have any questions in regards to this request, please feel free to contact me through the email and phone number provided in this document.
Sincerely,
Brylian Marin
Request Explanation:
While I haven't been able to spot any news articles regarding this topic unfortunately (which is a bit surprising since this seems to be an interesting topic whenever ICBC has been brought up in the groups I spend time with), I have heard many stories from close sources and other acquaintances over recent years about how some parts of Metro Vancouver were tougher to pass a Class 7 (Novice) test than other areas, most notably Surrey according to the sources I mentioned earlier. With this request, I hope to at least get 3 areas where an ICBC location is spotted for Class 7 tests (with hope Surrey will be included among them) and compare the areas and be able to see what passing rate an area has. I also hope to receive possible reasons why some failures occurred in each area that might explain why the passing rates are where they are now. If successful, I also hope to do my own report on this.
Note (in regards to finding the FOI Co-Ordinator):
While I was able to find the address of where to contact them in relation to the FOI requests, I couldn't find a name no matter how much information I looked through. Here is the page on where to contact them to send in an FOI requests.
This is a great topic. My kids have almost all gone for tests, and say the same thing when discussion the L and N tests with their friends. They say some ICBC offices are more likely to pass, than others.
ReplyDeleteA great idea. Because I was told the same thing about the surrey ICBC being more stricter than the others, when i was about to give my Class 7 road test.
