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.
How many hours of class time do I need?
It depends what level you are at: beginner, intermediate or advanced. To give
you the most accurate answer, we will need to know more information about you. We
will be pleased to hear from you and suggest a study program that will best suit your
needs.
What driving skills will I learn through your programs?
The following is a list of driving skills that our program re-enforces. Keep in
mind that one-on-one instruction is invaluable as it will enhance and correct what
notions you may already have.
Steering and wheel control
Maintaining speed control
Changing lanes safely
Getting confident at large intersections
Backing in and backing out
Manoeuvring smoothly through parallel parking
Driving on highways and freeways
Hazard perception
Manoeuvring and avoiding head-on collisions
Gaining confidence for the road test
Etcetera...
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.
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.
Where can I practice for the computerized knowledge test?
