BC Road Signs Test

We do our best to keep the questions current and relevant. The ICBC may change the questions on the knowledge tests at any time. Always be prepared for suprises.

Many of the answers to the questions can be found in the ICBC Commercial Driving Handbook. Which is available for free at the ICBC website.

What Do Your Results Mean?

Our free practice test has 35 questions, the actual test has 35 questions. To pass our test you must score at least 80% and to pass the real test you must score at least 80%.

So if you scored over 80% on our quiz you should be ready to write a successful ICBC knowledge test at a licensing centre.

But why stop at 80%? To be absolutely sure you are ready we recommend aiming for a 90% on the test.

If you scored less than 80% on our Class 4 practice test you need to do some more studying. Use the practice test results to find out which section you need to work on.

Do you need to brush up on your regulations? Maybe you missed a few road signs?

Once you have found your weak link, study that topic a little more and come back to take the quiz again.

What is a BC Class 4 Drivers License

A class 4 drivers license comes in two flavours: restricted and unrestricted.

Taxi drivers are required to have a class 4 license in BC

Class 4 Restricted Drivers License

A restricted class 4 license allows you to drive passenger directed vehicles with a capacity up to 10 people including the driver.

Some examples of vehicles you can drive with a restricted class 4 license are:

  • Rideshare like Uber or Lyft
  • Taxis and limousines (max capacity 10 people)
  • Ambulances

Class 4 Unrestricted Drivers License

An unrestricted class 4 drivers license allows drivers to operate passenger directed vehicles up to 25 people including the driver. These are usually small buses and sometimes limousines.

Here are some more vehicles you can drive with a Class 4 Unrestricted license:

  • A school bus
  • Buses with a maximum capacity of 25 people including the driver
