VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — ICBC is bringing back knowledge tests for everyone, but prospective drivers will still have to wait to get on the road.
The public insurer began accepting appointments for knowledge tests on Thursday, with written tests starting Monday.
“Due to anticipated demand, ICBC is encouraging customers to come prepared by studying the learning guides and taking the practice knowledge test several times to give them a greater chance of qualifying on the first attempt,” says an ICBC release.

Additional knowledge tests were first reintroduced May 4.
ICBC, however, hasn’t figured out how to restart road tests during the pandemic, but is consulting with WorkSafeBC.
“ICBC is putting extensive effort into a plan to safely resume road testing, which includes engaging with staff and WorksafeBC on the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, which we are working actively to source.”
