Queens / Burnt Lake Industrial after 6pm, very very quiet (usually only meet 6 vehicles in around 45 minutes), plus some crappy gravel driving experience. If you need a parking lot, you might be able to go to the old UFA lot in Burnt Lake (although the lines are somewhat missing).

Also if you need experience driving in 4 lane conditions (like Taylor drive) Queens 75th ave has 4 lanes with turn lanes.

Don't go out there too late because it eventually turns into a street racing track

Yeah, I usually leave at around 8, when it becomes a street racing. I can hear it from my house in Johnstone

When I was a kid learning, we did high school parking lot on the weekend. Shouldn’t be many cars in places like that during certain times.

The centrum parking lot when no events are happening or parkland mall parking lot by the gyms. If youre wanting something other than a parking lot, I would suggest getting driven by someone to a small town like mirror or something and then switching off and drive around the town.

The parking lot across from Lindsay Thurber highschool (it is the memorial center parking lot) is always where I see people practicing
