BC Driver Working in Alberta
In my current position I come across a large number of drivers who seem to live in British Columbia but have Alberta licence plates and insurance. The story goes that the driver works in Alberta and commutes back to British Columbia on their days off. Most of the time the family lives full time in BC, kids attend a BC school etc.

Hi there, I currently have an Alberta L, that is going to expire soon. I just moved to B.C and am planning on staying here for some schooling, and am wondering if I am allowed to take a British Columbia N drivers test without retaking my L? Or do I have to take my Alberta license and transfer it over?
For less than the price of a traffic ticket, you can find businesses on line that will sell you a "novelty" B.C. driver's licence that looks a lot like the real thing. Would it make a perfect gift for your favorite prohibited driver or perhaps avoid becoming prohibited if you have too many penalty points right now? Perhaps, but my bet is that you are just asking for more trouble if you try.
