I am an international student (ESL) and have a driver's license in my country. I'm already studying in Canada for 6 months and have 6 more to go. My school is not listed in the designated schools that allow me drive during the course duration.
I asked the ICBC what are the consequences of me being caught driving in this situation and they answered me that depend on the police who will stop me.

Question: When it comes to medical exams, it's worthy of note that every driver is asked about their health when they first apply for any class of license. That doesn't mean that they're inflexible; even an epileptic can drive if they've been seizure free for long enough.
I just bought a 50 cc scooter and was really hoping you could help me with two questions. It is a 2003 Yamaha BWS. First, can I drive it with my Learners license? I am turning 16 in a week, and know many people who ride them around with they're L, or so they say, but I can't find any for sure legislation. Second, can I take two people with my L?
Russell Jackson was stopped by police when driving a vehicle in Ladysmith, B.C. He produced a Mexican driver's licence to the officer, but it was not accepted. He was ticketed for driving without a valid driver's licence and the vehicle was impounded.
