What do I need to know about the Learner and Novice new driver signs required under B.C.'s Graduated Licencing Program (GLP)?
Any driver who is the holder of a class 7L (learner) or Class 7 (novice) driver's licence is required, as a conditon of the licence, to visibly display an L or N sign at the rear of their vehicle whenever they are driving. These signs are available free of charge at the place where you obtain or renew your driver's licence, and a temporary L sign or a temporary N sign can be printed with your computer's printer. A driver that is part of the GLP program cannot legally drive without displaying the appropriate sign. Failing to do so may result in a ticket under section 25(15) MVA (3 penalty points) or 30.13 MVAR (no penalty points) with a ticketed amount of $109. There is no rule that states that a driver other than one in the GLP cannot display an L or N sign.
