Schools with approved GLP driver education courses can show you a valid Driver Training School Licence with a GLP designation.  \nIt’s easy to find a school in your area. Get a list of schools offering approved courses, along with tips on choosing a driver training school, at our driver training [website www.dtcbc.com](website www.dtcbc.com).  \nWhy an approved driving course is a good way to go  \nWhen you choose a school offering ICBC-approved courses you can expect:  \n• a printed copy of the school’s course outline, rates, hours of operation and refund policy  \n• experienced instructors teaching a curriculum that meets ICBC standards  \n• ways for your parent, guardian or supervisor to be involved in your education  \n• practice vehicles that are safe and well maintained  \n• at least 16 hours of classroom instruction,  \n12 hours of in-car instruction and four additional hours of instruction—a solid base  \n• active and interactive learning in the classroom  \n• your progress to be assessed in the middle of the course and at the end, using a standard competency checklist—you’ll know where you stand  \n• connections made between what’s taught in the class and what’s taught in the car.  \nDrive by the rules from day one  \nWhile you’re in GLP, there are several restrictions in place to protect you and others, like displaying the new driver sign, not using hand-held or hands-free electronic devices, and limitations on carrying passengers. You can be ticketed, fined and assessed driver penalty points for speeding or other traffic violations or if you don’t obey GLP restrictions, so stay with the program.  \nWith higher crash rates for new drivers, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles closely monitors their driving records. This means you could face areview any time you receive an offence. That could mean a warning letter, probation or prohibition from driving. The prohibition may be from one month to a year or more (more points or more serious offences mean a longer prohibition) . Obviously no one wants to go down this road so following the steps we’ve outlined is the way to go.  \nIf you violate the blood alcohol restriction or operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs, you may be subject to various penalties, including an immediate roadside suspension or prohibition, a fine, driver penalty points and/or have your vehicle impounded. These incidents will be recorded on your driving record and you may face a further prohibition as a result. If you plan on drinking, don’t drive.  \nAny driving prohibition while you’re a learner will extend the learner stage. That’s because you won’t accumulate any time toward graduating to the novice stage until you have served your prohibition and have your licence reinstated.  \nIf you receive a driving prohibition in your novice stage, any time you have accumulated in this stage toward graduating out of GLP will be lost. The clock moves back to zero. When your licence has been reinstated, you will have to accumulate an additional 24 consecutive prohibition-free months in the novice stage to be eligible to graduate from GLP.  \nBy following the GLP licence restrictions, you’ll avoid these stiff GLP penalties and become a fully licensed driver.  \nWhat if I’ve just moved to B.C.?  \nYou may use your valid driver’s licence from another province, state or country for the first 90 days you live in B.C. After this time, you must have a B.C. driver’s licence to drive here. You’ll need to turn in your old licence and pass the applicable tests. If you hold a Canadian, American, Australian, Austrian, French, German, Japanese, New Zealand, South Korean, Swiss or United Kingdom licence, you may not be required to take all of the tests.  \nGraduated licensing applies to you if you ","cbCaigfn606PnJjB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigfn606PnJjB","pdf",273680,"English","# Why an approved driving course is a good way to go\n## Drive by the rules from day one\n## What if I’ve just moved to B.C.?\n## Need more information?","[{\"question\":\"How can high-school students earn Grade 11 credits through GLP?\",\"answer\":\"Students who successfully complete an approved GLP course can receive two Grade 11 credits by submitting their Declaration of Completion to their secondary school administration office.\"},{\"question\":\"What restrictions apply during GLP, and what happens if they are violated?\",\"answer\":\"GLP includes restrictions such as displaying the new driver sign and limits on electronic device use and carrying passengers.
