Passing the knowledge test ensures you understand the rules of the road. It also means you’ve started thinking about safe driving behaviors before you start driving with a supervisor.
Metro Driving School is an ICBC Class 5 & 7 Learner Licence – Driving Instructors.
Driving as a learner
You’ll need to be a learner for at least 12 months before you can take a road test and graduate to the next level. Remember, there’s no rush, take the test when you feel ready.
Your learner’s licence stays valid for two years. If you need more time, you can renew your learner’s licence by re-taking and passing the knowledge test. If you renew your learner’s licence you don’t have to wait any extra time to take your road test.
While you’re a learner, you’ll have to drive with a qualified supervisor and follow the restrictions that are printed on your licence.
These rules are really important. Not following them could mean that you pay a penalty or extend the time you spend in graduated licensing. Drive safely—don’t get left behind.
