Q&A

Somebody stole my wallet last May, including my driver's licence. I reported it to both ICBC and the RCMP, received a police file number and a new license.

I received a warning this evening, for speeding. I was trying to get out of the way of the person behind me (who ended up being a police officer). Anyway, he told me my name would be in some sort of data base in case an officer sees me and pulls me over for speeding again.

I know a guy who has lived in BC for well over 25 years and still holds a Alberta drivers licence and registration. At one time he used my husbands and my address. Now we are in BC and switched over as soon as we got here.

Question: I drive a mini bus for our seniors home. It has space or 6 ambulatory and 8 wheelchair passengers. Is there a requirement for us to have a written report of our Pre and Post trip inspections?

I got a traffic ticket for speeding on my Alberta license while I was driving in Vancouver. I disputed that ticket and my court date is this week. Since then, I have gotten a BC license and no longer hold the Alberta license. I was wondering if you would answer the following three questions for me.

Hi, I am a 17 year old high school student. I live in British Columbia. I am a novice driver and I got pulled over when I was impaired. I blew a fail and got a 90 day suspension. I also have to pay more than $1700 in penalties.

Well, I've seen this coming for months. There is an off-ramp on Hwy1, exit#28 onto Boundary Rd heading south, just before Grandview Hwy; and immediately after there is a tiny little street called E 11th Ave. I take the off-ramp about 5 times a week and almost every time some genius takes a right turn from Boundary's middle lane into the 11th. Most of the time I am able to foresee this and come off at about 30km/h waiting for the next bright mind to turn across my nose with-out a shoulder-check.

For the last ten to fifteen years I have had drops put into my eyes to dilate my pupils yearly. Many years ago I was advised to bring my sunglasses to the appointment with my optometrist and / or my ophthalmologist. Since then I always have my sunglasses with me for these appointments.

Question: I got a ticket from an officer for "failure to keep right" after he showed up an hour after I had hydroplaned off of a ONE WAY to the right of the road. He gave me this ticket and he said he was being "nice" because he felt he could have gave me a speeding ticket (even thought he wasn't there) Do I have a case ?
