| Taking class 5 road test with expired license
Is it possible? My license expires in a week or so, and there is no available date to take a roadtest before the expiry date. Do I have to renew it before I can take my class 5? It expired back in 2003 and that is already more than 3 years ago.
Do I have to retake my N road test before I can take my class 5? That's like $200 freakin dollars!

If you didn't want to put up that kind of money, you could've gotten your class 5 sooner.
But yes, from what I remember, you do need to have an active license before you can upgrade to the next.

I don't quite follow the whole expiry date thing you're talking about (expires in a week or two, but expired in 2003?) Can you not simply renew your current licence the way everyone else does it?

The Class 5 road test fee is $50.
If you pass, you will also need to pay for your licence. The fee is $17 if your licence will expire in more than six months or $75 if your licence will expire in six months or less.
if you could take the test before it expires you'd pay $50 + $75 = 125.
after it expires, you need to renew it and then take the test, so: $75 + $50 + $17 = $142.
keep checking the road test booking site several times a day, sometimes slots become available.
EDIT: and no, you don't have to take the N road test again i don't think. unless it has been expired for a REALLY long time..

You will have to take the road test to renew your class 7 anyway....anyone with a dl that has expired 3 years or more cannot just pay and be renewed.

A related suggestion: check the ICBC site EVERYDAY. People cancel their test appointments all the time so you actually may be able to get a test in the next day if you are lucky.

My mistake, my license was issued on 2003, and it's expiring at the beginning of february.
So after it expires, I have to take my class 7 and then my class 5? That seems pointless...

You always need an appointment for a road test. You can book them on line at ICBC's web site: http://www.icbc.com/licensing/lic_ut...booktestPU.asp
