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 RoadSafetyBC for a '''review''' of a driving prohibition. You must apply '''within seven days''' of when you get the notice of prohibition. | Yes. Police send a copy of any driving prohibition notice they issue to ICBC to be placed on your driver’s record.

To ask for the review, [https://www.icbc.com/locators/Pages/default.aspx you fill in an application form available at any ICBC 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. [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/driving-prohibitions-suspensions/disputes-appeals-reviews The grounds to dispute the prohibition vary depending on the type of prohibition]. The possible defences are not limited to the grounds to dispute. An expert on police procedure may be available through a lawyer to provide evidence in your case. Close to a quarter of immediate roadside prohibitions are '''revoked''' (cancelled) on review. | To ask for the review, [https://www.icbc.com/locators/Pages/default.aspx you can fill in an application form available at any ICBC driver licensing office] or [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/roadsafetybc/prohibitions/apply-online apply online].
