→Can I challenge a driving prohibition issued by the police?
Yes. Police send a copy of any driving prohibition notice they issue to ICBC to be placed on your driver’s record. You can ask Road Safety BC for a '''review''' of a driving prohibition. You must ask '''within seven days''' of when you get the notice of prohibition.
To ask for the review, you fill in an application form available at any ICBC [https://www.icbc.com/locators/Pages/default.aspx driver licensing office]. You must also pay a fee that depends on whether you make your case in writing or orally. A decision will usually be made within 21 days of when you got the prohibition notice. The [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/driving-prohibitions-suspensions/disputes-appeals-reviews grounds to dispute] the prohibition vary depending on the type of prohibition. Close to a quarter of immediate roadside prohibitions are '''revoked ''' (cancelled) on review.
During the review process, you are still prohibited from driving.
