B.C. allows knowledge test for learner drivers to be taken online and at home
The province says the online test is the same 50-question exam and commercial-vehicle applicants must still test in person.
- On Tuesday, British Columbia Attorney General Niki Sharma announced that learner drivers can now take their knowledge test online from home, modernizing the province's licensing services.
