Better get driver license in China.

When you don't have any driver license, you need to pass the knowlege test to get learner license, and after several months you can take road test and get G7 license if passed. When you have Learner license, you can't drive alone and can't drive after midnight before sunrise.
If you already has license from China, you also need to pass the knowledge first, then you can take road test and then get G5 license.

In Vancouver, I did not heard any one that can get lower insurance by study at driving school. If you want to get discount, better prepare some paper work from Chinese insurance company.

You don't need a license when you buy a car though better you should had one. But you do need a license to drive it.
When I bought my car, I didn't have a Canadian license, I only have license from China.

  • 枫下拾英 / 小说故事 / 我在温哥华standby 考驾照
    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛第一次路考是有电话预约的,按照预约的时间提前到了那里后,交给他们我的中国驾照做了登记,我知道,如果今天fail掉,就要跟我的中国驾照说byebye了。等了大约10分钟,出来一个很漂亮的女考官叫我的名字,让我在一张表格上签了字后就出发了。上车前我告诉她我的英语不好,希望她说慢点,她说没问题。至始至终她酷酷的,没有一丝笑容,例行公事的样子。我碍于语言也没想去和她交流什么,就这样上了路。我考的地方号称是温哥华最难考的一个地区,主要是因为地形复查,有很多school zoon和park的限速区。而我本人属于那种在国内就开车、技术过得去但小毛病不少的类型,但我努力克服着,一路无惊无险。又快到一个十字路口的时候,她突然让我向右换道并在十字路口右拐。因为说的有点晚,所以换道有点急,刚到路口完成了shoulder check正准备右拐的时候,绿灯变黄灯,我迟疑了一下,还是将右拐完成了。这个时候本来就有点慌,眼睛的余光看到她在那张表上记着什么,更有点慌,所以在慌乱中关键性的漏掉了一个正好竖在那个右拐路口的30公里的限速牌,所以我一路speeding下来,自己竟不知道。女考官也不动声色,但似乎之后就再没往纸上记什么。回到考试地点后,被通知我fail了。后来知道那个女考官以“酷”出名,在这个考试点号称killer,而我因为听说了太多考5次6次不过的故事,所以也没觉得很意外,只是真不相信会如她所说误掉了一个限速牌,考完后自己又开着车将刚才的考试路线重走了一遍,终于恨恨地看到了那个牌子,它确实就在那个路口站着。

    第二次路考是standby的,从早上7点排队等到下午2点还没等到,几乎快绝望了。正在这时,听到了考官叫我的名字。当时的反应是一阵激动(终于等到了)、接着一阵紧张(又要考试了),但半秒钟后心顿时沉下来:叫我的考官正好又是上次fail我的那个漂亮女士。当时在心里对近乎绝望的自己说:别泄气,要变被动为主动!于是,签完字后,在从大厅和她一起走到我的车上去的那段时间里(大约3分钟吧),我和她进行了这样的对话(当时是要自救,开口就讲,什么英语语法都顾不得了):

    我说:3个星期前也是你考的我,之后你教了我很多如何提高开车技术的方法,我觉得非常有用。
    她说:是吗?那你之后找教练又学了没?
    我说:学了很多次,确实很有用。
    她说:上次我为什么fail你?
    我说:因为我误了公园区的一个限速牌,所以speeding。
    她说:还有其它的问题吗?
    我说:没有了,上次考完你说除了speeding,我其他的方面pretty good(她确实这样说过)。
    她说:那好,这次你要注意。
    我说:我会的。可是今天我早上7点到这里,等了7个钟头,没有水、没有中饭,现在非常累了,也很紧张,希望能表现的好一点。
    她很惊奇:你等了7个钟头?哦,那好,我们走吧。

    也许是这段对话发挥了作用,一路上她一改“酷”的作风,对我很友善:在做three point turn时,我因为紧张倒车时忘了挂倒车档,一松油门车往前跑,吓我自己一跳,惊呼一声后我说sorry,她说that’s ok! 在一个yield牌下竟将车完全停下了足有半分钟,而当时我的道上并没有车!等我意识到时,我说sorry,她又回答:that’s ok! 走了和上次一摸一样的路线后回到考点,她说:“只差一点点你就要被fail了”。这句话的语法比较复杂,当时紧张得如同等待死刑宣判的我只听懂了后半句“你就要被fail了”,顿时觉得天地灰暗,我痛苦的问她:我为什么被fail了。她说:no,you passed! 后面她再说什么我都没听见,好像是指出我犯的无数个错误,但我已经被狂喜占据,她说一句(说的什么我不没听)我便回一句:yes,thank you! 当时觉的她真漂亮,很想拥抱她。

    所以觉得路考的时候,与考官进行适当的非公事的交流是必要的,也是有益的。每个人都情感,在博取了好感的情况下,第一,良好的氛围可以消除你的紧张,第二,不是关键性的技术错误也许就不会导致最终的失败了。

    Standby是一件很苦的事情,要等有空缺才有可能考,有时等一整天也未必能等到空缺,就只能算空等了一天。也许是因为温哥华持续了两个月的公车罢工,也许是因为考驾照的高fail 率,如果电话预约路考的话,有时竟要等到三个月之后。这就使得没有预约、直接去standby的人越来越多。我是standby了四天才得以考试的。第一天不知道行情,9点半钟才到考点,在standby的人中排第9个;第二次8点半到的,看见门口站了一堆人,一数,我排第7;第三次7点30到,仍然排第6;最后一次是7点15到的,排第5。排队的人中各色人种都有,但华人居多数。据说要排第一的话,6点钟就得到。想想6点钟到了后要在清晨的寒风中等2个半钟头才能等到开门,还未必能考,考了也未必能过,觉得真是辛苦。

    Standby的人都是曾经被fail过的人,大家都同病相怜,而且都是在绝望中等待希望,所以都会互相交谈很多以打发时间,轮到一个人被叫号去考试时大家都会衷心祝愿,等到考回来时大家想知道结果的心情不亚于考试者本人,一旦又被fail了大家都会来安慰并鼓励。其中还有很多小故事,这里记述一二:

    一个北京男孩6点钟standby,排第一。9点半被通知去考试。出去后十分钟就回来了。原来考官上车前让他踩刹车和松刹车检查刹车灯时,他不知是用力过猛还是车太豆腐,把刹车片踩断了。他离开时对我们说了四个字:“这次更快!”当时让我捧腹不已,现在想起,感觉到一丝心酸。

    一对深圳来的投资移民夫妇,40岁左右,丈夫是老板,在国内车都换过3辆,老婆的车技是他一手交出来的。结果老婆考过了,他自己考两次过不了。

    一个也是北京来的男生,30多岁吧,fail他的考官跟我的考官一样。他也是来得很早排第一,可是等到叫他去考试时他溜了,因为碰巧又是那个考官叫他。他说宁愿不考也不在那个女考官手上考。

    一对大连来的投资移民夫妇,50岁上下,完全不懂英语。男的已经考过了,跟我说“这次是陪我媳妇来考”。同来带着一对年青夫妇,专门作他们的翻译。临出门去考试前,那个50岁的“他媳妇”对我说:“血战到底!”好象是上刑场一样。

    一个山西来的妇女,投资移民,出来前在国内自己开公司。我是在清晨的考点门口排队时看着她开车来的,在一个很窄的车位前她的车一个漂亮的弧线很稳当地倒了进去。她那天是第四次考,还是没考过,走的时候很伤心。

    一个广州来的先生,在国内当过开车教练,考第三次。第一次说他危险动作太多;第二次说他超速;第三次考回来,仍然是fail,问其原因。他说考官认为他速度不均,主要是开得太慢,他说:“我开得慢不是想让他知道我有多谨慎吗,这试没法考了!”

    一个东欧来的女人,跟我说她有三个国家的驾照,驾龄15年,上次没考过。一般5级车牌的考试考45分钟,她第一次的考试考了1个半钟头,回来后被告知fail了。她很气愤,不停地说:这样考,他们自己(指考官)也未必考的过!

    还有一个中国男孩,第一次考试,有预约的,坐在我们standby的人中间。大家问他知不知道路线,他说不知道。于是大家七嘴八舌地告诉他哪些地方该注意,都是自己被fail后换来的惨痛教训。结果那个男孩真的一次考过了,回来告诉我们幸好事先有人提醒,不然可能过不了。他是我见过的第一个考5级一次考过的人。

    还有很多很多这样的故事。大家都是萍水相逢,以后也不会有缘再见。但现在想起,竟生出许多的牵挂,不知她们现在都考过了没有。但我相信最终他们都会如愿的,都会成功,生活就是这样,永远有希望在远方,永远有艰难在眼前,心在遍尝失望和痛苦后,成功的喜悦会在不经意间降临。考车如此,找工作如此,在异国他乡寻找自己的生活亦如此。更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
    • 55555...... 我考了5次才过。花好多银子。 555555555......
    • Hi, could you please tell me that how long it wil take for a new PR to get his driver's license. I heard that you must wait for 8 months after the knowledge test to have the road test. Is it true? Thank you!
      If I got the driver's license in China, then does it make any difference?
      And they said that go to some driving school will be better, it will lower the insurance fee. Is it right? If you don't want to go to the school, that means you must buy a car or you haven't the vehicle to train. Then if you haven't got the license, how can you buy a car? I am so puzzled about all these matters, sorry to bother you!

        When I bought my car, I didn't have a Canadian license, I only have license from China.
        • Thank you very much! You are so nice! By the way, I only heard G2, G1, why there is so many levels? And could you please tell me how quickly I can get license in case I had the license in China?
          • G7 is Learner(Class 7) , G5 (Class 5) is the most ordinary driver license.
            G7 license must drive with one passanger who has a G5 license or above ( and only one passanger.).
            G5 can drive all the cars that only have 4 wheels. Some truck have 6 wheels, then you need G3 or above to drive it.
            You may need special license to drive trailer truck.
            • I see. Since you are in Vancouver, the regulation is not the same as in Ontario. In Ontario, the G1 is as G7 in your description, and G2 is as G5. I think so. Anyone who is in Ontario could confirm opinion?
              • You're right about Ontario.
          • If you are lucky and have all the ability and skill, you can get a license in 3 days provided you already has a licens from China. Hope you might as lucky as Lingling.
            • Oh, I must say that you are so kind to me. And good luck to you too!
            • xixi,I also think you are so nice a man,seilings!
              • Or you are wrong! I am a mm, so my name is "mm".
      • 考完笔试后六个月可以考7级牌。如果有中国驾照,笔试后可以当天考牌。笔试后即有一张黄纸给你,称为“学习驾照”,意味着你可以开车了,但旁边要坐一个有正式驾照的成人。所以,考完笔试即可买车,黄纸上有驾照号,向保险公司出示即可。
        • Thank you!
        • 什么时候旁边可以不用有一个正式加照的成人?
    • help,help,help!
    • help me please!
      • 听了你的故事 我不对驾照保有期望了。
