| N with family
its been looong time since ive had my N so i cant remember about this rule.
one of my cousins recently got his N, can i make him be me and my other cousins designated driver? or is it that he can only have 1 passenger unless its direct family (brother/sister/mother/father)? do cousins apply to that rule as well?

They must be direct family members (ie brother, sister, mom). But i believe that if your cousin lived with you he would be considered a direct fam member (someone get me if im wrong).
My friend tried the cousin one at a roadblock but still got a ticket (cop said cousin doesnt count, plus we were still over by 2).

No one else unless you have a "supervisor" who is someone age 25+ w/ a class 5 license.

If you're over 25 with a Class 5, I think the rule is invalidated. But I'm gonna guess that if you're under the influence, the invalidation is negated.

Instead of speculating I got this from the ICBC website in 15 seconds...
Novice drivers (N)
You are limited to 1 passenger—unless you're driving a passenger vehicle and have a supervisor 25 years or older with a valid Class 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 driver's licence.
What about family members? This restriction does not apply to immediate family members: mother, father, sister, brother, child, spouse, grandparent, grandchild; including step and foster relationships. | |

OR were you just BSing?
If it was really your step brother, I can see a it being a successful dispute.

Don't count on being lucky with a cop, worry more about getting home safely.

If the 25 year old was drunk he could be chareged for having care and control of the vehicle while impaired. He is supposed to be supervising = controling the N driver. I have convicted an impaired supervisor with an L driver before.

Yep...lotta bad behaviour..drinking with a N, driving with zero alcohol, feeling cocky enough to bluff it out at a road check.

Does a common law spouse count as an immediate family member, I've lived with my gf for two years so it would be nice to not count her as a passenger? Quote:

After 6 months of cohabitation I believe you would legally be considered "married". Show the Police her ID with the same address and things like power bills, phone bills, credit cards etc and that would support your claim.

It's probably obvious enough, but recently my coworker who has a class 5 and his wife has a class 7 had questions regarding the rule. He was too drunk to drive after a xmas party, so he let his wife drive him and his two kids home. Although it doesn't say directly, it won't apply to "Wife or Husband" either :P
This restriction does not apply to immediate family members: mother, father, sister, brother, child, spouse, grandparent, grandchild; including step and foster relationships

This restriction does not apply to immediate family members: mother, father, sister, brother, child, spouse, grandparent, grandchild; including step and foster relationships | That would mean husband/wife/common law partner. If your co worker's wife was a Learner or restrictions on her DL required a "supervisor", he could have been charged for having care and control. By not getting behind the wheel he made the right choice but he may have found himself in trouble if he was supposed to be supervising her. I'm not sure of what restrictions she had so this may or may not have been a consideration.
Operation while impaired
253. Every one commits an offence who operates a motor vehicle or vessel or operates or assists in the operation of an aircraft or of railway equipment or has the care or control of a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment, whether it is in motion or not,
(a) while the person's ability to operate the vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment is impaired by alcohol or a drug; or
(b) having consumed alcohol in such a quantity that the concentration in the person's blood exceeds eighty milligrams of alcohol in one hundred millilitres of blood

I can't believe I didn't realize this till now. The only ticket I've ever received is driving contrary to restrictions for driving with her and one other passenger, I could have claimed her as a spouse 
Thanks Zulutango!

I'll definitely keep his in the mind in the future though, certainly not the most expensive mistake I've made.
