ICBC Get Your Motorcycle Licence
** The steps to getting a motorcycle licence depend on whether you already have a B.C. driver’s licence.

Existing B.C. drivers :
** If you already have a full-privilege B.C. driver’s licence (Class 1-5), here’s how to get riding.
Step 1: Get your motorcycle learner’s licence
** To get your learner’s licence you need to
** pass the motorcycle knowledge test.
** Your parent or a legal guardian must give consent for your application if you’re under 19.
Step 2: Pass the motorcycle skills test
** After at least 14 days with your learners you can
** take the motorcycle skills test.
** If you take certified motorcycle training and qualify there is no waiting period and the motorcycle skills test is included.
Step 3: Get your full motorcycle licence
** After at least 30 days of being a learner, you can get your full licence by
** passing the class 6 road test.
L & N drivers or new drivers :
** Drivers with less than two year’s driving experience have some extra steps in getting licensed.
** It’s a way to help reduce your crash risk while you’re getting on-road experience.
Step 1: Get your motorcycle learner’s licence
To get your motorcycle learner’s licence :
** Pass the motorcycle knowledge test
** If you don’t have your L or N, you’ll also have to pass the passenger-vehicle knowledge test.
** Your parent or a legal guardian must give consent for your application if you’re under 19.
Step 2: Pass the motorcycle skills test
** After at least 30 days with your L, you can
** take the motorcycle skills test.
Step 3: Pass the Class 8 motorcycle road test
** After passing the motorcycle skills test and having your L for at least 12 months, you can
** take the Class 8 motorcycle road test.
** When you pass the Class 8 road test, you enter the Novice stage.
Step 4: Get your full motorcycle licence
** After at least 24 months with your N, you can take the final test-the Class 6 motorcycle road test.
Note :
** If you also have a passenger vehicle 7N licence you only need to complete one road test to exit GLP.
Motorcycle knowledge test :
** The first step in getting your learner’s licence is passing the motorcycle knowledge test.
What to expect :
** You’ll answer 40 multiple-choice questions on a touch screen kiosk at a driver licensing office.
** It takes about 30 minutes. (You can take longer if you need to.)
The test is available in English or any of these languages :
** Arabic, Cantonese (with traditional Chinese writing), Croatian, French, Farsi, Mandarin (with traditional Chinese writing), Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
Get ready :
** Even experienced drivers should study for the knowledge test-it’s harder than you might expect.
** The Learn to Ride Smart guide will help to prepare.
** The test questions are based on this guide.
Take the test :
** You can take the test at a driver licensing office.
** We suggest you come as early as you can so you have enough time to take the test.
** The offices can be busy at the end of the day and sometimes we aren’t able to accommodate all the knowledge test requests.
When you come, be sure to bring :
** required ID, and
** payment for the test fee.
** Your parent or a legal guardian must give consent for your application if you’re under 19.
** We’ll also ask about your medical condition and check your vision. For details, see chapter 11 of Learn to Ride Smart.
After you pass :
Once you pass the knowledge test and meet all other requirements, you get a :
** Class 6L motorcycle learner’s licence, if you’re a full-privilege driver
** Class 8L motorcycle learner’s licence, if you’re in the L or N stage of graduated licensing for passenger vehicles or are a new driver.
