Update On Proposed Changes To The Graduated Licensing Program (GLP)

We just received this update from ICBC regarding proposed changes to the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP):

“June 3, 2025

Update on RoadSafetyBC and ICBC Changes to the Graduated Licensing Program

We’d like to share an update on the status of Bill 12 – the Motor Vehicle Amendment Act, 2025, recently introduced by the Government of B.C. in April. This proposed legislation will allow ICBC, in partnership with RoadSafetyBC, to modernize B.C.’s Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) and introduce a new Motorcyclist Licensing Program (MLP).
As the bill did not proceed past second reading during the spring legislative sitting, the second reading of the Bill will be carried over to the fall sitting, commencing October 6, 2025. ICBC does not have control over Government’s scheduling of Bills; however, it is not uncommon for a Bill to be introduced in one sitting and not proceed until the next.
Our intent is to continue with the work planned to ensure that when the Bill passes, we will be positioned to move to implementation. As part of that work, we’ll be developing comprehensive change management and Indigenous and stakeholder engagement plans and will keep you updated as this work progresses.
More information is available at www.icbc.com/glp-changes.
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to GLPR@icbc.com.
Sincerely,
Craig Stirling
Manager, Driver Training Industry Support”

Our Price For Air Brakes Courses Will Be Increasing In September 2025

Starting with our Air Brakes Course in September 2025 our price for the Air Brakes Course will be increasing from $225.00 plus GST to $250.00 plus GST (currently $262.50).

In September 2025 we will also begin charging a $100.00 deposit at the time of registration in our Air Brakes Courses. This is because we have had some people registering for Air Brakes Courses and then not showing up for the course. Since our Air Brakes Courses are typically full, this means we have turned clients away or put them in a later course when they could have had the seat reserved for someone who registered but then did not show up for the course.

We hope that charging a $100.00 deposit at the time of registration in our Air Brakes Courses will prevent this from happening in future.
