A: Select one of the 18 Units below. |
B:
Read that Unit, then write its Unit ### on paper. |
C:
If this is part of a no-fee course, save the paper for
the instructor. |
 |

 |
|
Unit 901:
A driver may eventually need to complete a road test re-examination.
For Class 5 and 7 drivers, this is called an Enhanced Road Assessment
(ERA). The driver will receive a letter if an ERA is required. They
have to complete the ERA within the time frame specified in the
letter. ICBC driving examiners administer the ERA's on behalf of
Road Safety BC and there is no fee charged for the assessment. |
|
 |
|
Unit 902:
Here are the 3 most common reasons why a driver might be asked to
complete an ERA: 1) A doctor reports a medical condition that may
affect their fitness or ability to drive safely; 2) The results
of a previous on-road assessment suggest a follow-up is necessary;
3) A collision report, police report, or other report indicates
they may be unable or unsure how to handle a common driving situation. |
|
 |
|
Unit 903:
Class 5 and 7 drivers with a medical condition that may affect the
motor, cognitive, or sensory functions required for driving may
be asked to complete an ERA in order to maintain their current licence.
Referrals to the ERA are not made on the basis of a driver's age.
Drivers of any age may be asked to complete an ERA. The ERA appointment
takes approximately 90 minutes. |
|
 |
|
Unit 904:
If a driver doesn't comply with the ERA, their existing driver's
licence is cancelled and is no longer valid. It's a legal requirement
to complete the ERA. If a driver chooses to retire from driving
instead of taking the ERA, they can exchange their driver's licence
for a free British Columbia Identification Card (BCID). This can
be done by booking an appointment to visit an ICBC driver licensing
office. |
|
 |
|
Unit 905:
After an ERA, the driver's results are reviewed along with other
relevant information in their file. If there were any traffic violations,
dangerous actions, or other safety concerns during the ERA, the
driver is issued a learner's licence while their file is reviewed.
The driver should bring a licensed person to their ERA appointment
because an ERA driver cannot drive home on their own if they're
issued a learner's licence. |
|
 |
|
Unit 906:
As of May-01-2021 in BC, lawyers are generally no longer involved
in crash claims with ICBC because there are predetermined amounts
for claims. People involved in crashes can only sue the driver at
fault if that driver is convicted of a driving offense or that driver's
vehicle is found to be faulty. By removing lawyers and legal fees
from the system, ICBC is trying to reduce insurance premiums and
enhance coverage. |
|
 |
|
Unit 907:
ICBC insurance premiums are affected by the driver's claims history,
optional insurance and deductibles, location, type of vehicle (age,
make, model, repair cost), driver's experience, technology (anti-theft
devices, auto braking to avoid a crash), and how the vehicle will
be used. Here are some vehicle use categories: less than 5,000 km
per year, pleasure, commuting, business, delivery. Driverless use
of a vehicle (autopilot, smart summon) may breach insurance coverage. |
|
 |
|
Unit 908:
ICBC insurance covers you in Canada and the United States only if
you correctly rate the use of the vehicle, specify who drives the
vehicle, ensure anyone who drives the vehicle has a valid licence,
give correct information after a crash, don't drive if your licence
is expired or suspended, and don't drive when impaired by alcohol
or drugs. |
|
 |
|
Unit 909:
There are a number of steps you can take with ICBC if you wish to
appeal a decision about your claim. You can raise your concerns
with your claim representative and/or their manager, and then ICBC's
Claim Decision Review process. If you have exhausted the channels
inside ICBC and are still dissatisfied, there are other options
outside of ICBC such as the BC Office of the Ombudsperson. |
|
 |
|
Unit 910:
The Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) is a decision-making body independent
from ICBC. If you disagree with an aspect of your ICBC claim such
as your entitlement to accident benefits or the fault assessment
(when it results in a monetary loss), you may apply to the CRT for
dispute resolution. CRT costs range from $75 to $200 depending on
the type of claim. |
|
 |
|
Unit 911:
Traffic laws are often different in other cities, provinces, or
countries; therefore, check the laws for the places you intend to
drive. Florida Motor Vehicle Act: Don't enter an intersection or
marked crosswalk unless there's space past the intersection or crosswalk
for the vehicle you're driving so you don't obstruct other vehicles
or pedestrians. In Florida on Jun-22-2017, the driver of a car that
was hit while blocking an intersection was blamed for the death
of someone in the other car. |
|
 |
|
Unit 912:
Audio, video, and other recording devices cannot be used during
the road test. GPS and navigation systems must be turned off. Using
these devices could lead to the cancellation of the road test. Other
than guide dogs and service dogs, pets are not permitted on a road
test or in ICBC driver licensing offices. This includes emotional
support animals. |
|
 |
|
Unit 913:
You need to bring a safe, reliable vehicle for your ICBC road test.
Your vehicle's interior must be scent-free, clean, and free of any
items that may affect health and safety. If it isn't safe (seatbelts
not working, outstanding serious vehicle safety recall, etc.) or
it doesn't meet legal requirements, ICBC may cancel your road test.
Your road test vehicle must have Canadian licence plates. |
|
 |
|
Unit 914:
For your ICBC road test, if you plan to use a vehicle from a car
sharing co-op or company and are not the named member, you must
provide a letter from the company authorizing you to use the vehicle
for the test. The letter must be written on original letterhead,
dated, and signed by a representative of the company. A new letter
must be produced for each road test attempt. |
|
 |
|
Unit 915:
Before the road test, you can ask questions such as these: 1) Can
I have the stereo on? 2) Can I have the window down? 3) Can I wear
sunglasses? 4) What happens if I turn the wrong way? 5) Can I take
one hand off the wheel to scratch my nose for a second? 6) If I
get too stressed, can I pull over for a minute? 7) If I don't know
street names, is that going to be a problem? 8) Can I ask about
parking? |
|
 |
|
Unit 916:
During the road test and whenever you drive, you need to select
the best lane to travel in. When there are 3 lanes moving in one
direction within a municipality, faster traffic often travels in
the left and right lanes. If you travel in the center lane, there's
less chance of annoying others and being tailgated by faster vehicles,
you have the right lane between you and any driveways, and you have
the left lane between you and oncoming traffic. |
|
 |
|
Unit 917:
Here are a few road test tips: 1) Prior to a change in direction,
road position or pulling away from the curb, check to make sure
the blind spot on that side is clear by doing a shoulder check.
2) When approaching areas where hazards may be present, such
as intersections and crosswalks, you must scan the area. 3) When
reversing, observe in that direction with occasional glances forward
when necessary. 4) When entering traffic, choose an appropriate
space that doesnt cause other road users to adjust their speed
or road position. 5) While waiting to turn left, avoid angling
the car or wheels to the left because if you are rear-ended, you
may be pushed into oncoming traffic. 6) Before backing up,
look all around the vehicle (360 degrees) to ensure the surroundings
are clear. |

Unit 918:
If you fail your first passenger vehicle or motorcycle road test,
you must wait at least 14 days before you retake the test; if you
fail your second test, you must wait at least 30 days; if you fail
your third or subsequent tests, you must wait at least 60 days.
If you're going to cancel or rebook a road test, give 48 hours notice
to avoid a $25 cancellation fee. |
