The route to your successful driving test begins here...
Getting your first B.C. driver's licence is an exciting time! However, driving is especially risky when you lack experience as a new driver.
Class 5/7 driver's licence Knowledge Test
before you can get your Learner driver's licence, you will have to take a knowledge test.
About the knowledge test
the knowledge test:
The Learner’s (L) licence stage:
The first stage is the Learner’s L stage (L) licence with restrictions to help reduce the risks while learning to drive.
After 12 months of prohibition-free driving, you qualify to take your first road test – the Class 7 road test.
You can stay in the Learner’s (L) stage as long as you need to. Your Learner’s (L) licence is valid for 2 years, but can be renewed by re-qualifying on the Knowledge Test in the Learner’s (L) stage. Once you pass the road test, you will receive a Novice (N) licence.
To obtain a B.C. driver’s licence, you must be 16 years old (If under 19 bring your parent or legal guardian to sign for your application.)
The Novice (N) licence stage:
For the Novice (N) stage some of the Learner’s (L) licence stage restrictions are removed.
After 24 months of prohibition-free driving in the Novice (N) licence stage, you are eligible to take the second road test — the Class 5 road test.
Once you pass this road test, you will graduate to your full-privilege driver's licence.
