Check 18 Units to see if any contain factual errors. Unit 901 A driver may eventually need to complete a road test re-examination. For Class 5 and 7 drivers, this is called an Enhanced Road Assessment (ERA). The driver will receive a letter if an ERA is required, and they have to complete the ERA within the time frame specified in the letter. ICBC driving examiners administer the ERA's on behalf of Road Safety BC and there is no fee charged for the assessment.     Unit 902 Here are the 3 most common reasons why a driver might be asked to complete an ERA: 1) A doctor reports a medical condition that may affect the driver's fitness or ability to drive safely. 2) The results of a previous on-road assessment suggest a follow-up is necessary. 3) A collision report, police report, or other report indicates the driver may be unable or unsure how to handle a common driving situation.     Unit 903 Class 5 and 7 drivers with a medical condition that may affect the motor, cognitive, or sensory functions required for driving may be asked to complete an ERA in order to maintain their current licence. Drivers of any age may be asked to complete an ERA. Referrals to the ERA are not made on the basis of a age. The ERA appointment takes approximately 90 minutes.     Unit 904 It's a legal requirement to complete the ERA. If a driver doesn't comply with the ERA, their existing driver's licence is cancelled and is no longer valid. If a driver chooses to retire from driving instead of taking the ERA, they can exchange their driver's licence for a free British Columbia Identification Card (BCID). This can be done by booking an appointment to visit an ICBC driver licensing office.     Unit 905 After an ERA, the driver's results are reviewed along with other relevant information in their file. If there were any traffic violations, dangerous actions, or other safety concerns during the ERA, the driver is issued a learner's licence while their file is reviewed. The driver should bring a licensed person to their ERA appointment because an ERA driver cannot drive home on their own if they're issued a learner's licence.   Unit 906 As of May-01-2021 in BC, lawyers are generally no longer involved in crash claims with ICBC because there are predetermined amounts for claims. People involved in crashes can only sue the driver at fault if that driver is convicted of a driving offense or that driver's vehicle is found to be faulty. By removing lawyers and legal fees from the system, ICBC is trying to reduce insurance premiums and enhance coverage.     Unit 907 ICBC insurance premiums are affected by the driver's claims history, optional insurance and deductibles, location, type of vehicle (age, make, model, repair cost), driver's experience, technology (anti-theft devices, auto braking to avoid a crash), and how the vehicle will be used. Here are some vehicle use categories: less than 5,000 km per year, pleasure, commuting, business, delivery. Driverless use of a vehicle (autopilot, smart summon) may breach insurance coverage.     Unit 908 ICBC insurance covers you in Canada and the United States only if you correctly rate the use of the vehicle, specify who drives the vehicle, ensure anyone who drives the vehicle has a valid licence, give correct information after a crash, don't drive if your licence is expired or suspended, and don't drive when impaired by alcohol or drugs.     Unit 909 Steps you can take with ICBC if you wish to appeal a decision about your claim: You can raise your concerns with your claim representative and/or their manager, and then ICBC's Claim Decision Review process. If you have exhausted the channels inside ICBC and are still dissatisfied, there are other options outside of ICBC such as the BC Office of the Ombudsperson.     Unit 910 The Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) is a decision-making body independent from ICBC. If you disagree with an aspect of your ICBC claim such as your entitlement to accident benefits or the fault assessment (when it results in a monetary loss), you may apply to the CRT for dispute resolution. CRT costs range from $75 to $200 depending on the type of claim.     Unit 911 Traffic laws are often different in other cities, provinces, or countries; therefore, check the laws for the places you intend to drive. Florida Motor Vehicle Act: Don't enter an intersection or marked crosswalk unless there's space past the intersection or crosswalk for the vehicle you're driving so you don't obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. In Florida on Jun-22-2017, the driver of a car that was hit while blocking an intersection was blamed for the death of someone in the other car.     Unit 912 Audio, video, and other recording devices cannot be used during the road test. GPS and navigation systems must be turned off. Using these devices could lead to the cancellation of the road test. Other than guide dogs and service dogs, pets are not permitted on a road test or in ICBC driver licensing offices. This includes emotional support animals.     Unit 913 You need to bring a safe, reliable vehicle for your ICBC road test. Your vehicle's interior must be scent-free, clean, and free of any items that may affect health and safety. If your vehicle isn't safe (seatbelts not working, outstanding serious vehicle safety recall, etc.) or it doesn't meet legal requirements, ICBC may cancel your road test. Your road test vehicle must have Canadian licence plates.     Unit 914 For your ICBC road test, if you plan to use a vehicle from a car sharing co-op or company and are not the named member, you must provide a letter from the company authorizing you to use the vehicle for the test. The letter must be written on original letterhead, dated, and signed by a representative of the company. A new letter must be produced for each road test attempt.     Unit 915 Before the road test, you can ask questions such as these: Can I have the stereo on? Can I have the window down? Can I wear sunglasses? What happens if I turn the wrong way? Can I take one hand off the wheel to scratch my nose for a second? If I get too stressed, can I pull over for a minute? If I don't know street names, is that going to be a problem? Can I ask about parking?     Unit 916 During the road test and whenever you drive, you need to select the best lane to travel in. When there are 3 lanes moving in one direction within a municipality, faster traffic often travels in the left and right lanes. If you travel in the center lane, there's less chance of annoying others and being tailgated by faster vehicles, you have the right lane between you and any driveways, and you have the left lane between you and oncoming traffic.     Unit 917 Here are a few road test tips: Prior to a change in direction, road position or pulling away from the curb, check to make sure the blind spot on that side is clear by doing a shoulder check. When approaching areas where hazards may be present, such as intersections and crosswalks, you must scan the area. When reversing, observe in that direction with occasional glances forward when necessary. When entering traffic, choose an appropriate space that doesn’t cause other road users to adjust their speed or road position. While waiting to turn left, avoid angling the car or wheels to the left because if you are rear-ended, you may be pushed into oncoming traffic. Before backing up, look all around the vehicle (360 degrees) to ensure the surroundings are clear.     Unit 918 If you fail your first passenger vehicle or motorcycle road test, you must wait at least 14 days before you retake the test. If you fail your second test, you must wait at least 30 days. If you fail your third or subsequent tests, you must wait at least 60 days. If you're going to cancel or rebook a road test, give 48 hours notice to avoid a $25 cancellation fee.
