Some common reasons for not passing the road tests • Exceeding the minimum number of points for errors. Regardless of the number of points for errors, the following are some of the reasons for automatic failure: • Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for the conditions. • Failing to stop completely before proceeding through an intersection controlled by a stop sign, or before turning right on a red light. • Failing to yield the right of way at an intersection or during a lane change. • Obstructing traffic by driving too slowly or stopping unnecessarily. • Climbing over the curb while parking, or being unable to park legally in three attempts. • Failing to slow or observe adequately at uncontrolled intersections (you must be prepared to yield to drivers to your right). When you pass the advanced road test you must take the road test permit you purchased to do the test to a registry agent to ensure your operator licence is updated. The test permit is not an operator’s licence. Types of vehicles for licence class Class 7 (GDL) A parent or guardian must give consent on the application if the person applying is under 18 years of age. For learning and while accompanied by a full licensed driver, the holder of a class 7 operator’s licence may operate, the following: • a vehicle or vehicle-trailer combination that the holder of a Class 5 operator’s licence may operate • a motorcycle (must be 16 years of age or older) • a moped Class 5 The minimum licensing age is 16 years. Anyone under the age of 18 years applying for an operator’s licence must have parental or guardian consent. The holder of a Class 5-GDL operator’s licence may operate the following: • a vehicle with only two-axles • a recreational vehicle with not more than three axles • a vehicle with only two-axles while that vehicle is towing a trailer with one or more axles, unless the trailer is equipped with air brakes • a recreational vehicle with only two axles while that vehicle is towing a trailer with one or more axles, unless the trailer is equipped with air brakes • a recreational vehicle with three axles while that vehicle is towing a trailer that has one or two axles unless the trailer is equipped with air brakes • a moped A person 14 years of age or older may apply for a Learners Operator’s Licence. CHAPTER ONE Licensing INFORMATION 13
For learning (you must have a supervisor with a valid operator’s licence for the type of vehicle being driven) a 5-GDL operator licence holder may operate: • class 2 or 4-type vehicle with two axles while that vehicle is not carrying passengers • motor vehicles included under classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 if the learner is at least 18 years of age • motorcycle (does not apply to 6-GDL) The holder of a Class 5-GDL operator’s licence shall not operate: • a motorcycle (unless you are learning with a supervisor or hold a class 6-GDL operator’s licence) • a vehicle with a seating capacity of more than 15 while that vehicle is transporting any person other than the driver • a vehicle transporting passengers for hire • a vehicle equipped with air brakes, unless the operator has an air brake endorsement For hire operator licence requirements A Class 4 operator’s licence is required when the vehicle owner or operator, or the operator’s employer, is being paid for the service that the vehicle is being used to provide. A Class 4 operator’s licence is NOT required when the vehicle owner or operator, or the operator’s employer drives a private passenger vehicle for the transportation of passengers on an incidental or occasional basis and receives compensation for: • payment for the kilometres travelled, or • straight reimbursement for out-ofpocket expenses directly related to the transportation such as gas, parking, gate passes and tolls, or When the vehicle operator is party to an agreement to provide transportation for compensation only to: • the operator’s family members • members of the operator’s household • persons for whom the operator is a legal guardian Air brake endorsement (Q) When a person successfully completes an approved Alberta air brake course through an authorized agency, an air brake endorsement (the letter Q) will be placed on that driver’s operator’s licence, for any licence class other than Class 1. NOTE: Drivers with a Class 1 operator’s licence automatically have an air brake endorsement although it will not appear on the operator’s licence. A Class 1 operator licence cannot be obtained without the holder first having successfully completed an approved air brake course. Therefore, the air brake endorsement is implied with the Class 1 operator licence. An air brake endorsement is required for drivers of vehicles with: • an air-only braking system, or • a combination of air and hydraulic braking system 14 A Driver’s Guide to Operation, Safety and Licensing
