New learners can鈥檛 take their written test yet, but people with existing learners licences can book appointments to take a 鈥渒nowledge鈥� test starting May 4, the Insurance Corp. of B.C. says.
Appointments for tests can be booked for some ICBC offices starting May 4, with non-road test services available across the province by May 11. That includes people with recently expired learner鈥檚 licences.
鈥淐ustomers whose Class 5-8 learner鈥檚 licence expired on or after March 17, when ICBC suspended road tests due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will not have to pay a fee for their first knowledge test,鈥� ICBC said in a statement April 27. 鈥淎t this time, knowledge tests are not available for first-time learner applicants.鈥�
Appointments will also be available for new residents of B.C., who are required to change their licences within 90 days, and for commercial learner class applicants, including air brakes and heavy trailer permits. Commercial stand-by or walk-in knowledge tests are discontinued as of May 2.
