The Driving in BC Wikibook from People's Law School describes some of the basic information required by all British Columbians who wish to acquire a drivers licence, register a vehicle and understand the laws related to driving and car ownership.

  • understand the laws around the registration and insurance of motor vehicles,
  • know what to do if you are in a car accident,
  • understand the penalties for failing to comply with driving laws, including law against drinking and driving, and
  • appreciate other safety issues.
