Do you need to take a driver’s re-examination? Find out here how to get ready for your exam.

Each year, some 4,500 drivers in B.C. are asked to take a driver's re-exam, which consists of a re-examination road test and a new vision check.

ICBC conducts re-exams at the direction of the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV). 

Why you may need a driver's re-examination

Some of the most common reasons for a driver's re-exam are:

• A doctor reports a medical condition that may affect your fitness or ability to drive safely.
• Results of a previous re-exam suggest follow-up testing is necessary.
• A crash report, police report or other report indicates you may be unable or unsure how to handle a common driving situation.
• Your licence has expired for more than three years

Commercial vehicle drivers also take re-exams to make sure they drive well enough for the type of vehicle they operate.
