Effective September 21, 2020 anyone opening the door of a parked car when it is not safe will face a fine of $368.

Dooring is when a driver or passenger opens a car door unsafely into the path of oncoming traffic, resulting in a collision or swerving. Dooring can lead to serious injury or even death, particularly for vulnerable road users.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM ICBC ABOUT ROAD TESTS

More road test appointments are being added over the coming weeks as new driver examiners come on board and further test sites open.

08/22/2020

New bookings for Class 5 and 7 road tests available August 24

Today ICBC issued a news release reminding customers that starting Monday, new bookings for Class 5 and 7 road tests will be accepted.

New bookings were placed on hold as ICBC prioritized customers whose road tests were cancelled at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At this time, ICBC is only accepting customers who have a booked road test appointment. Walk-in or standby appointments are unavailable.

Class 5-8 road tests must be booked online using the road test booking service (for driving schools), or if students are booking their own test, ICBC strongly encourages all eligible customers to book a road test online at icbc.com. Commercial (Class 1-4) road tests must still be booked by phone by calling 1-800-950-1498.

As per the notification on August 7, road tests will also be offered at the following ICBC claim centres:

Available for booking now:

• Victoria (Dunedin), 425 Dunedin Street

• Surrey (Guildford), 10262 152A Street

• Langley, 6000 Production Way

Estimated start date of September 8:

• Surrey (Newton), 13665 68th Avenue

• Coquitlam, 100 Blue Mountain Street

• Richmond, 7200 Elmbridge Way

• Burnaby, 4399 Wayburne Drive

Estimated start date of September 28:

• Vancouver (Kingsway), 999 Kingsway

• New Westminster, 1320 3rd Avenue

• Abbotsford, 2885 Trethewey Street

A Reminder of what to expect for all road tests

ICBC has been taking additional safety measures to protect customers and employees.

Driver examiners are required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) for the duration of the road tests. ICBC will supply a mandatory medical grade mask for customers to wear during their road test. Customers are asked to maintain physical distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from ICBC employees and other customers wherever possible.

Please share this information with your staff and encourage them to check for important news and updates on our driver training web site dtcbc.com.

08/22/2020

ICBC is adding up to 100 temporary driver examiners and expanding to 10 additional locations to help decrease the wait times to take a road test.

Moving to next phase of road test resumption

We are now ready to move to the next phase of our road test resumption plan by prioritizing customers whose Class 5 and 7 road tests were cancelled between March 17 and June 26 as follows:

• Customers whose tests were cancelled April 30 or earlier can book an appointment starting July 30.

• Customers whose tests were cancelled May 31 or earlier can book an appointment starting August 10.

• Customers whose tests were cancelled June 26 or earlier can book an appointment starting August 17.

All other customers will be able to book a road test starting August 24. We’ll contact all eligible customers by letter or email with details on how they can book a road test online. We are not offering standby appointments at this time.

We know there is a significant demand for road tests with a backlog of customers whose road tests were cancelled. We're looking at a number of things, including our resourcing, hours of operation and conducting road testing at other ICBC facilities.
