Some people reported that they were asked a few theory questions - like what does a flashing green light mean? No on said that they had been denied a license exchange, even if they didn't know the answers to the questions.

Every time I have rented a car, the deal is done before the licence is shown, so I don't see how country of issue could be used to advantage.

If you collected a speeding ticket in your hire car and the rental company had your UK licence number, then you could incur points, whereas I doubt there are reciprocal agreements between UK and Canadian provinces in that regard. However, since the UK government has abandoned the "war on the motorist" we can all now break speed limits to our hearts' content. Apparently.

You have the right of way, proceed with caution the traffic on the cross street has a flashing red (stop).

Re: Driving in BC Info
 

GO, basically then?:lol:

Re: Driving in BC Info
 

That's not the answer they are looking for though :)

Flashing Green: Pedestrian Controlled light. As soon as someone hits the button to cross it can turn Amber, thats why it flashes, because it isn't timed.

Can you keep your HGV and Bus licence as well ?

re flashing green light

OK so i guess its proceed with caution. Will make sure im not applying lipstick, texting and eating my lunch, passing the kids sweets/toys all at the same time when approaching these lights...i dont want to an irresponsable driver.:p

My OH saw a woman being pulled over by a traffic cop the other day and earwigged into what he was saying to her. Apparently, he was giving her a telling off because she did not pay enough attention when turning right:rofl:
I wish that policeman could see all the idiots I drive alongside every day who are searching in the footwell for something they have dropped, juggling coffee cups and MacDonalds and talking on their hand held mobile while steering with their elbows. He'd have a fit:eek:

Re: Driving in BC Info
 

Mine keeps muttering "bike" at me every few days - I ignore him!

Re: Driving in BC Info
 

If he had any sort of balls he'd have gone out and got one already ;)

I got permission last week :o

Re: Driving in BC Info
 

There's lot of blokes out there who say they would love a motorbike but their wife "won't let" them.
I'm not sure if that makes me a bad wife for not protecting my OH from danger or or a good one for 'letting' him have a bike.
And I'm also not sure if that makes the men who obey their wives good husbands or wimps:p.
Anyone who can clarify this - please feel free. 16 years married and I haven't a clue:p

I don't think it's particularly healthy in a relationship for one party to have to plead to the other to be able to do something. I know horse riding is dangerous, and Mrs Rich had a horrific accident a few years ago which has permanently messed up an ankle, but I don't want to ban her from her horse, so she makes her own balanced judgment about the risks. Same goes for bikes - she learned to ride a few years after we met, enjoyed it for several years then decided her horse was a greater interest.

Everyone needs their own time and space for hobbies and pursuits. It's selfish to stand in the way of the enjoyment they derive from it. Risks need to be managed and taken into account, but they shouldn't necessarily preclude the activity entirely.

Mine sold his bike to buy my engagement ring 15 years ago!

Still hankers for that throbbing feeling between his legs though:rofl:
