Information related to driver's licences.
Ian Shafer used to be a Las Vegas, Nevada resident and had licensed his car there. He moved to Victoria but had not obtained a B.C. driver's license or B.C. licence plates and insurance. He was stopped for speeding by police in Victoria. The incident resulted in a traffic ticket for speeding, not having a BC driver's license and operating an uninsured vehicle being issued.
My son received a traffic ticket from the police for driving without insurance and driving without a driver's licence. He was riding a bicycle that he has attached a small gas motor to and I think that this is a motor assisted cycle, not a motorcycle. If I am right, he doesn't need a licence or insurance and the police should not have issued the ticket. He has driven past police road checks with this cycle and none of them stopped him and told him that it was not legal. They should have done this first and not given him a ticket.
I had the pleasure of visiting BC from New Zealand to visit my son who was on a school exchange in Northern BC. As I have been a Road safety consultant and designer of road safety campaigns I was wondering if there are any statistics available on tourist accidents in BC.
When I worked in traffic law enforcement it was standard procedure for me to scan the rear of every driver's license that I examined. Often I would find the restriction 21, corrective lenses required printed there. If the person was not wearing glasses I would look carefully at their eyes to see if I could see contact lenses. If they were there, I could see them most of the time.
If a person has been told by their doctor not to drive due to cognitive impairment what are the consequences if this person chooses to drive?
Question: I have recently read a number of articles regarding prohibited drivers using ebikes as a sources of transportation. Some people have questioned if this was legal or not as they assumed these ebikes were governed under the Motor Vehicles Branch regulations.
Q: What is a Class 3 license in BC for drivers? A job I was thinking of applying for wants this license and I do not know what it is.
Altab Ismail has a significant driving record and owes ICBC money from an unresolved collision debt, so his driver's license was canceled when he made no attempt to satisfy the debt. From Mr. Ismail's point of view the difficulty lay in the fact that he worked as a delivery driver and required a driver's licence in order to earn his living.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for a positive topic to write about!
I heard from both a driving school instructor and a senior on this one, which is the idea that many older drivers take their driving responsibilities very seriously. So seriously in fact, that some choose to stop driving through their own choice rather than because they are forced to.
This case was heard in the BC Supreme Court in front of The Honourable Mr. Justice Burnyeat. Ali Maasoumian has an unenviable driving record. He accumulated 17 penalty points and the Superintendent issued a notice prohibiting him from driving for 8 months.
