## Re-examinations 

Each year in B.C., almost 3,000 people are notified by RoadSafetyBC to come in for a re-examination. The most common reasons for a re-examination are: 

• a driver’s medical report indicating a health problem 

• a police report indicating that the driver was unsure of how to handle a common driving situation. 

If the re-examination is for vision screening and a signs and signals test only, you don’t need an appointment. If it also includes a road test, you’ll need to call your local driver licensing office within 30 days of receiving your notice to book a road test appointment. When you go for your test, you need to take primary and secondary identification (see the Identification (ID) section on the inside back cover) and glasses or contact lenses if you need them for driving. It’s also a good idea to take a licensed driver with you in case you don’t pass the test. 

Prepare for your re-examination by reviewing this guide. Consider taking a refresher course from a driving school to help you brush up your skills. You may also want to get a copy of Tuning up for drivers  from the driver licensing office. This will help you practise your driving. 

## Enhanced driver’s licence 

B.C. now offers an enhanced driver’s licence (EDL) that allows you to cross the border to the U.S. by land and water without a passport. 

It’s available as an enhancement to your photo driver’s licence, or learner’s licence, at an additional cost to the regular licence fee. You need to be a Canadian citizen and resident of B.C. to apply. Visit icbc.com  for more information on obtaining an enhanced driver’s licence or ID card. 

A passport is still required for air travel to, through and from the United States.
