ICBC changing getting your N to 2 years instead of 1 in 2011?!
 
so apparently my friend said getting your N (L to N) license in 2011 will take two years instead of the normal 1 year.. anyone else here about this? I hope thats not true cause I am getting my L in late december so if i miss it, i get owned..

Fafine 10-25-2010 06:20 PM

much needed

dink 10-25-2010 06:23 PM

that's a good move by ICBC

JHatta 10-25-2010 06:24 PM

it means your last gen of drivers were so bad, they think you need another year to think about your driving habits.

I'm glad I got my N by 17

wingies 10-25-2010 06:24 PM

Definitely needed, this is one thing I agree with ICBC on

:lol

This is the joy that the adults must have felt when we were complaining about the implementation of the GLP program

FN-2199 10-25-2010 06:28 PM

I completely back this up. Too many retarded N drivers out there thinking they're the Stig, or are just an Asian version of James May.

tonyvu 10-25-2010 06:31 PM

agreed with waiting 2 years instead of 1, too many asshole drivers nowadays thinking they have something to prove on the road...

eurochevy 10-25-2010 06:33 PM

young kids are too influenced they need the 2 years honestly

!e.lo_ 10-25-2010 06:35 PM

hey good move
now how about retesting people once they reach a certain age? then have to retest every 5 years after or something.

buddha1 10-25-2010 06:38 PM

I kind of agree with this because at my high school all these guys think they are nuts with their corollas on canadian tire spinners which just makes me facepalm pretty hard :facepalm:

however, from a learner's perspective, that blows... gotta drive my car 2 years with my parent! no thx. I wanna get my N faster so i can come to revscene 2012 alone! :D

Santofu 10-25-2010 06:43 PM

Is there any change for N stage to become class 5?

I'm glad they are doing this, like others have stated, lots of noobs of road thinking they are king shit.

They should also teach kids not to cut off trucks, its fucking dangerous cause we cant stop fast enough if you decide to slam on your brakes

SpuGen 10-25-2010 07:03 PM

Haaah.
I feel old now. They changed the rules for my generation. Only 1 Passenger with N, and I thought that sucked.

Now it's 2 years to get your N, and you can still only drive 1 person. LOL

Wait till the baby boomers are all dead.

geeknerd 10-25-2010 07:17 PM

where is the source?
i have heard this rumour for like 5 years now

RevYouUp 10-25-2010 07:20 PM

nah..they should just change it so that fobs and clais have to wait 2 years to get them

ForbiddenX 10-25-2010 07:22 PM

I thought this was implemented this year? My gf's bro just got his L and I think he has to wait 2 years before his N road test

no it's not. i could book my road test 1 year minus 1 week from the time i took my L :thumbsup:

Life was alot easier when I did my GLP.

When you turned 16, you could do your Written test, If you pass you get your Learners (L)

you then had 6 Months to practice ( shortened to 3 months if you went with a 30 Hour Driving School ).

At the 3 or 6 month period, you did a Road Test. If you passed you got your N.

Then the N was for 18 months with Zero Alcohol, and 2 passengers.

I got my Class 5 at 17year 9 months old.

satek 10-25-2010 07:55 PM

Excellent.

This better be bullshit.... If it takes 1 year then you are gonna see a lot more aggressive drivers acting like they own the road just cause they have their license.

i got mine when i turned 16, went in did my computer test.. passed, hired an intructor and took a few lessons.. signed up for the road test and passed it. all this took 6months.
in 14 years of driving, only 1 accident (12 years ago) and 5 speeding tickets.. i say thats good...



also, this doesn't change the fact that people still cant drive regardless if they have to wait 5 years to get their N or even full license.. but i guess its better then not doing anything and handing over the full license.
