GRADUATED LICENSING PROGRAM (GLP)


What’s new:

ICBC has made changes to the Graduated Licensing Program, effective April 1, 2007

Reduce your wait time for road test eligibility by six months

New drivers who start a Graduated Licensing Program after March 31, 2007, will now be eligible for a six-month reduction in the Novice stage. They will have their Learners Licence for one year before taking a road test to remove their “L”. On passing their road test, they will move to the Novice Stage “N”, and can take the Class 5 road test after 18 months of Novice stage experience instead of 24 months
