Road tests

ICBC to expand road tests starting July 8

Jul 7, 2020 | 10:42 AM

NORTH VANCOUVER — Good news if you need to take a drivers test.

ICBC is expanding its road testing by opening up to all customers “through a phased approach.” The move follows the reopening of commercial vehicle road tests last month.

ICBC says their plan “is contingent on the state of the pandemic in the province and may be adjusted based on the need to ensure the ongoing health and safety of both customers and staff.”

Under the new plan, motorcycle road tests are available starting tomorrow (July 8). Also available starting tomorrow are recreational trailer (Class 4 and 5 endorsement) road tests.

Priority testing for essential health care workers and first responders who require a licence for work can call ICBC today (1-800-950-1498) to book.

The timeline for private passenger vehicle (Class 5 and 7) road tests is as follows:

• Priority testing for customers with tests cancelled between March 17 and March 30; ICBC will start calling customers this week to rebook; road tests to begin July 20.
• Following this first grouping, ICBC will then be prioritizing the re-booking of customers who had road tests cancelled after March 30. It is expected that these customers will be able to re-book the month of August.
• More details on the timing for new road test bookings will be provided in the following weeks.

Enhanced Road Assessments: ICBC will call to rebook customers whose assessments were cancelled between March 17 and March 30. All other customers requiring a medical fitness assessment will receive a letter from RoadSafetyBC.

Commercial road tests (Class 1-4), motorcycle skill tests, and knowledge tests are available for booking.

Other services: ICBC’s offices have remained open during the pandemic while also offering customers the option to renew a 90-day temporary driver’s licence by phone. To manage the demand and volume of customers in an office at any given time, ICBC is also looking to move to an appointment system for in-office visits, including driver licence renewals.
