Learner and Novice drivers are not permitted to consume any alcohol and operate a motor vehicle. This can even include certain cough syrups or even desserts with alcohol in them. There is a strict zero tolerance policy surrounding this.

3. In British Columbia, playing loud music from a vehicle is illegal.

Answer: No

Excessively loud music can fall under the same section as faulty mufflers, and sqealing tires: "Unnecessary Noise". As to exactly who determines what is "unnecessary" noise, that is up to the courts.

4. In British Columbia, what is the legal amount of tinting that can be applied to driver and passenger side windows?

No tint may be applied to a window in front of the driver's shoulders, unless that tinting is one way UV blocking tint. This includes side windows and the front windshield. The only exception is factory shading.

5. In British Columbia, what would be an example of a "restriction" on a Driver's License?

Answer: Corrective lenses required

"Corrective Lenses Required" would be Restriction 21, while the other three would be examples of "endorsements".

6. If you're driving in British Columbia and you see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching, what must you do?

Answer: Pull over and stop

If you see an emergency vehicle approaching your vehicle, you must pull over to the right and come to a complete stop. Not doing do may jeopardize yours and others safety, as well as net you a fine for "Failing to Yield to an Emergency Vehicle". This rule is the same in most places.

The Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations (MVA-R) govern the operation of all classes of motor vehicles on roadways, from motor scooters to big rigs.

8. What institution governs the licensing of drivers in British Columbia?

Answer: Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC)

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia governs the licensing of all drivers in British Columbia. I know most of you probably said the Motor Vehicle Branch, but check on your Interim Driver's Licenses, and on all the Safe Driving Manuals. You'll see ICBC's logo plainly printed on the front.

10. What is the name given to the new staged licensing program implemented in British Columbia in 1998?

Answer: Graduated Licensing Program

The Graduated Licensing Program, highly unpopular with young drivers, was implemented in 1998, to force new drivers to have more practice time before turning them loose behind the wheel. The purpose of the program is to give novice drivers more practice time behind the wheel, before awarding them a full privilage license.
