Frequently asked questions
1) My Learners’ Driver Licence will expire soon. Can I renew it or do I have to do the computer knowledge test again?
After October 6, 2003 you can not renew a Learners’ Driver Licence. You have to take the computer knowledge test again, and that passing grade is only good for 2 years.
2) How many hours of class time do I need?
It depends what level you are at: beginner, intermediate or advanced.
3) Can I drive alone while I am a Learner Driver displaying my letter “L”?
No, you cannot. As a learner you must be accompanied by a supervisor 25 years or older with a class five B.C. drivers licence or with a professional driving school instructor.
4) As a new driver can I drive anywhere with my letter “N”?
Yes, you can. The only restrictions for the novice driver's are the following:
• Display the letter N on the back of your car.
• 0 alcohol blood level.
• May carry only one passenger. Unless the other passengers are immediate family members or there is a supervisor 25 years or older with a valid B.C. class 5 driver's licence.
5) Where can I practice for the computerized knowledge test?
a) Richmond Public Library.
b) ICBC online.
A good driving school not only teaches one how to drive but also teaches defensive driving that helps in reducing collisions due to lack of confidence and knowledge. Thus, the knowledge and the confidence gained will definitely make one a better driver.
