ICBC has established a graduated licensing system to help new drivers, including motorcyclists, get the on-road experience you need, but with special restrictions on your licence that help reduce your risk of crashing.
As you gain skills and experience, these restrictions are removed.
Riders who disregard any of the restrictions face tough penalties.
There are fees for each knowledge test and road test you take, as well as fees for all driver's licences.
Once you pass the Class 6 road test, you get your full-privilege Class 6 motorcycle driver's licence.
Good luck along the way. And safe riding!
If you do already have a licence to drive (Class 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5), you go through a different, shorter process to get a motorcycle driver's licence.
| Note: You only have to go through the Graduated Licensing Program once. For example, if you hold both a Class 7 novice and Class 8 novice licence, to exit GLP you may take either the Class 5 or Class 6 road test. If you hold a Class 7 novice licence and a Class 8 learner licence and wish to exit GLP, you would take the Class 5 road test. Your Class 8 learner licence would then be converted to a Class 6 learner licence. |
