En un día soleado, vemos a Juan, un estudiante universitario, conduciendo hacia el campus en su automóvil. Mientras se acerca al estacionamiento, el tráfico se intensifica y Juan se da cuenta de que la búsqueda de estacionamiento está consumiendo mucho tiempo y energía, lo que lo hace llegar tarde a clase.

Step 1: L License: Studying
I would first start studying for 50 question knowledge test using the various resources available such as Learn to Drive Smart, the practice knowledge test, the road signs practice test, and Street Sense.
Note that one would need to provide proper ID, a parent/legal guardian consent form, and money for test/learner's license fees.

Step 1: L License: Passing the Knowledge Test
Then, I would book an appointment at an ICBC driver licensing office. After bringing the required ID, parental consent/supervision, and fees, I would be able to begin the test.
I would then answer at least 40 of the multiple choice answer to pass the test.

Step 2: N License: Preparation
Practicing would help me get accustomed to the various scenarios and settings that a driver could find themselves in such as different weather and time of day
I would take the ICBC-approved driver's training course in order to take the N Road Test in only 12 months instead of 18 months.

Step 2: N License: Passing the Road Test
One can take the Road Test after having their L license for at least 12 months. During the ~45 mins test, an examiner will take me on a route that is designed to exemplify my driving skills safely.
Even if you do not pass the first time, you can always retry after 14-60 days depending on how many times you have taken the test.
For ID, one would need to provide their photo learner's license and another piece of photo ID

Step 2: N License: Driving Restrictions
N Licenses only have four driving restrictions as opposed to L licenses which have six restrictions:1. No alcohol/drugs permitted while driving.2. The N License must be displayed on the back of the vehicle.3. No electronic devices like cellphones are permitted while driving.4. One passenger limit unless a 25 or older supervisor is present
I would also make sure to secure and maintain privacy for my N license to protect myself from identity theft.
