ICBC Explanation: Class 7 L drivers can carry a qualified supervisor (25+ years old with a Class 1-5 license) plus 1 additional passenger.

ICBC Explanation: B.C.'s "Slow Down, Move Over" law requires drivers to drop speed to 70 km/h when posted speed is 80+ km/h (or 40 km/h when posted speed is under 80 km/h) and change lanes if safe to do so.

ICBC Explanation: Advance into the intersection so you can complete your turn safely when traffic clears. Keep wheels straight while waiting—if rear-ended, turned wheels will push you directly into oncoming traffic.

ICBC Explanation: You must yield the right-of-way by pulling over to the nearest curb or right edge of the road and stopping completely until all emergency vehicles pass.

ICBC Explanation: Remember the rule: Uphill with a Curb = Turn Left (Up, Up & Away). If your car rolls back, the back of your front tires will catch the curb and stop the vehicle.

ICBC Explanation: When facing downhill, always turn your wheels right (toward the curb or edge of the road) so that if brakes fail, the vehicle rolls off the road rather than into oncoming traffic.

ICBC Explanation: Shifting to Neutral disconnects engine power from the wheels without locking your steering wheel (which happens if the key ignition is turned off). Then safely brake and pull over.
