Re: Driving in BC Info
OH had a Honda Shadow 750 here and misses it a lot. He has already looked in the dealers and his old model is just about the smallest one there! He is greedily eyeing up a larger model and dreaming of cruising along the coast with the wind in his hair.... Well, he hasn't got much hair, so with the wind, anyway!

Re: Driving in BC Info
We thought that - if you really wanted you could apply for a duplicate copy of the UK one, but as you say there's no point really.
It is relief not to have to go through all the bother and expense of taking another test, though.
OH forgot to ask, but as he has his bike qualification on his UK license as well will that also transfer to the B.C license?

Anyone know if I can renew my UK driving license earlier than the expiry date?

Its a new thing....rip off just like the passport system. Only valid for a few years now then new one required. I got married, changed the surname and the newly issued one is only valid until 2016!!

Re: Driving in BC Info
New photo licenses expire I suppose due to the photo being out of date. It isn't all that long - i can't remember how many years -5?
I just had a notice to renew mine, which you cannot ignore AND you have to pay for it! No test of any sort, just a new photo is required.
Bloody cheek!

Perhaps with some medical issues such as possible strokes, alzheimer's and the like where mental impairment/visual acuity may be involved, one's license may be suspended until a physician certifies all is well. But for most medical conditions, including diabetes, that is not the case, in Ontario at least.
