Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a way to skip the 1 year Learners process in BC? like getting a license in another province or country?

Thanks

[murd0c]

NO, it's there for a reason.

[Vansterdam]

lawls

[ali321]

If I get a L in another province will I have to the L test again here? I don't mind reading the books and taking the N test but waiting a year for that test is painful.....

[TOS'd]

Can you even reach the pedals.

[ali321]

Can you even reach the pedals.

Yes I'm 18. I regret not getting my L before but I have a small business and being able to drive would help me alot.

[twitchyzero]

just buy a scooter in the mean time if you need to get around for your business (assuming you aren't hauling anything)

[FN-2199]

Go live in Alberta for a year. Get your license there. Come back to BC. There. You skipped the one year learner process and the novice stage! :troll:

I do need to haul things from time to time and I don't want to sound like a pussy but I don't think I have the ballz to drive around in a scooter between cars.

If you go to a different province, you have to prove that you live there.
So that might be difficult. ie. if you go to Alberta. Then you can transfer your license over to a BC one.

I'm not sure if you have to a resident for X number of months though...
afaik, all provinces have a graduating license program. It's there for a reason.

No offense, but I don't want your noob ass driving next to me (especially if you have passengers) when there are 1000 c-lais on the road as well. There's enough retard drivers out there. And yes it is a painful process, but I think it does help and is there for a reason.

Driving is a BIG responsibility. And when you're new, you just don't have the experience that one needs to be safe on the road imo. Learning the theory is one thing, actually being able to perform under pressure is another thing. ie. if you start to hydroplain most people know not to hit the breaks, but for the novice this seams like the logical thing to do. Stuff like that takes time to learn and experience.

Hmm I read on yahoo that if you have less then 2 years driving experience they'll get you to take the N. But from ICBC's site it says that you have to do the GLP.

Not sure if this is BS

I understand your concern but at the same time for the N test I still have to prove that I can drive properly and have all the knowledge required. I would be willing to live in another province for a month or so. I've got friends in Alberta because that's where I used to live.

You can check if Dragon Driving School still exists :troll:

[Euro7r]

Can I get my license without taking the road test LOLLLL :troll:

[ali321]

I would rather do this legally and that guy was passing people who failed the test. I personally wouldn't want myself driving if I failed lol.

[xilley]

is your not even confident enough for yourself to pass the test then Dont DRIVE!

[Hondaracer]

you sound like a pretty fail driver already.

[TOS'd]

Just get your mom to accompany in the car while you drive for your business.

[ali321]

is your not even confident enough for yourself to pass the test then Dont DRIVE!

I think you kinda understood it wrong... what I meant is why would I drive if I failed the test in response to the other guys post about the driving school.

Just get your mom to accompany in the car while you drive for your business.

Mom and dad is going overseas.

[noventa]

you are going to have to get a full license somewhere else other than BC. Then come back and trade it for a BC one. Thats the only way.

and icbc overrules whatever you found yahoo.

[noventa]

or you can get a kilo of cocaine and stash it in the desk of the DMV person. Then tip the cops off about the stash and when they come to arrest the people at the DMV, you can sneak behind the counter and print yourself off a interim drivers license.

[sxe010]

Yes. Don't let any cops catch you when you get behind the wheel.

taking over daddy's business?

[91LS-VTak]

Just drive without a license. I'm sure that will work out well.

[baggdis300]

get your L drive as a N
if you don't get pulled over in that one year span that means you are a good enough driver to get your N on your first try.

more than likely you will be caught within the first month :)

What company do you run so I can be sure to avoid using them in the future

Yo, drug trafficing is bad for u !!!

^Yea imagine the trouble of having to explain why you're driving without a licence and why you have a bunch of drugs in your trunk.

[FerrariEnzo]

man if there was a way to get pass the L stage, i dont really think they would have it in the first place...

[falcon]

Get your L and hire someone older than 25 to be your chauffeur that can sit in the passenger seat and be your supervisor.

I'm sure a bum would do this for a few dollars an hour.

[death_blossom]

I believe some high-end and accredited driving schools (like Young Driver's) have a fast track program where you can cut the Learner's DL period in half. you will need to go through their full training program, of course.

^^even then... that bum has to have a valid DL.



hey kid, driving is a privilege. you have to earn it.
those who take shortcuts, always get fucked.

[EmperorIS]

you should get another year of L just for thinking this .. bitch

Nope started when I was young.

That would be insane. Can anyone confirm if there is anything like this? I know there's a program to speed your N graduation but never heard anything for your L.

Thanks

Edit: nvm found this

After March 31, 2007 any new driver who starts an approved course (complete their first lesson) will no longer be eligible for a Learner stage time reduction.

lameee

[zulutango]

You could buy a Delorean and accelerate to 88 mph? :woot2:

The 6 month reduction for passing an accepted course like YD will get you a 6 month reduction in your N time period. They no longer reduce the L time.

[1exotic]

isn't the L 2 year process now instead of 1? thought they just changed that in January.

[subwoffers]

That's what I thought, too. Taking an approved class only knocks 6 months off.

[b0unce. [?]]

Man this is either legitimately dumb, or pretty good at trolling ahahhaha

[Soundy]

I see someone's watching the Space channel this morning ;)

But isn't time travel against the restrictions on the L license? Plus, make sure you only do it on the freeway, as 88mph on surface streets would be excessive speeding and get your time machine impounded :fullofwin:

[C1v1CRyder]

the L should be 5 years.

[q0192837465]

Lol, still remember the days when L only takes 3 months when u take a course or something. Good times.

[josayeee]

Dang I feel so old now. When I got my license I only had to wait 3 months after my L. Also had to take young driver's. Daaang 1 year now...

[stewie]

why do i have a feeling OP will be making a thread VERY soon titled "got caught driving with L...any chance to dispute it?" thread in the police section...

[Simplex123]

Did you take your L when you were 15 in Alberta..? Or do you not have one at all

[Soundy]

Why? Probably because you've been on RS for more than two months...

L? 3 months?

Good times = learners on your 16th birthday and regular license 30 days later.

BTW skipping is for 7 year old girls.

I fucking hated how they split my year. Everyone born before March 22 of my birth year got the 30-day license. March 22 and up? Yeah, we got shafted.


Split it at the year, or don't split it at all.

[fliptuner]

Well that was pretty fucking retarded.

[jbsali]

that test is in place for a reason. I can't believe it isn't even longer. half of people with an N still don't know how to drive..

[StaxBundlez]

just wait buddy..
don't be so eager..

[Nlkko]

You mean like half of the people without an N or L who can't drive worth a damn? You aint got any safer with the tards with full license on the road.

The 1 year length is retarded because L drivers don't DD with a supervisor in their cars because it's cumbersome to do so. They only practice once in a while. It should be cut down to 4 months maybe 6 months top. If they can't drive properly they won't pass anyways.

[ImpactZ]

please do not drive

once again, it's 2 years now not 1... they changed it in January.

[Nlkko]

It's valid for 2 years but they can take the test after 1 year, isn't it?

[guesswho]

The learner’s (L) licence stage:
The first stage is the learner’s L stage (L) licence with restrictions to help reduce the risks while learning to drive.
After 12 months of prohibition-free driving, you qualify to take your first road test—the Class 7 road test. You can stay in the learner’s (L) stage as long as you need to. Your learner’s (L) licence is valid for 2 years, but can be renewed by re-qualifying on the knowledge test in the learner’s (L) stage. Once you pass the road test, you will receive a novice (N) licence.
To obtain a B.C. driver’s licence, you must be 16 years old. If under 19, bring your parent or legal guardian to sign for your application.

http://icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/graduated-licensing/learners-stage

its the same as before except the fact that if you take the lessons with classroom and on road instruction then you get to take your N after 18 months rather than 24.

[ae101]

u know that op just take it in china everything will work out just fine there or just take you dads licences they make u one just like it as chinas handy work is getting better lol :troll:

took me 3 months from my L to N

jelly op? :troll:

[MelonBoy]

lol.. instead of making it longer or shorter.. they should just make it manditory to take a certian driver course.. (kinda like the old ones that allow you to opt out a few months)


O wells this doesnt matter to me anymore haha class 5 ftw + gonna renew April 6 for my enhanced one :D no more bringing having to carry my pass port wooooot!

I remember the days there were no L's. I was 10. :P

[1990TSI]

I remember having an L....NOT... I skipped it by having rich parents overseas. I just told ICBC that I needed to drive to take over their buisness and they were cool with it. Just ask, I'm sure things havn't changed in 10 years.

also, mercedes benzos are expensive to insure, so ask them for the 43% discount too, they usually say "sure" if you're taking over your parents buisness. It only makes sense.

[KuSouL]

came in this thread just to fail OP

[HansonBoy]

NO, it's there for a reason.

Yeah, Canadian drivers suck.

Its nowhere near as strict overseas, or even in the states. I remember when i was in the UK there was basically no 'waiting' period, you can get a full license as soon as you can get the appointment booked.

[Energy]

Get a license from another country that lets you drive by yourself and when you show it to them they let you skip the L and go straight to N. That's what I did a couple years back.
