New drivers, regardless of age, will be driving in a lower risk, more controlled environment under Alberta’s new Graduated Driver Licensing system. The program came into effect May 2003. The graduated program improves road safety by extending the learning stage for new drivers, helping them gain more experience and improve their skills before graduating to more demanding driving conditions.
New drivers progress through two stages: Learner and Probationary.
To obtain a Learner’s licence (Class 7) you must:
Learner’s Conditions:
To become a Probationary Driver you must:
Probationary Conditions:
Class 5
All outstanding fines on your motor vehicle file must be paid ahead of your road test. If the fine payment is made online within the last 5 days, proof of payment will be required. If you are unable to satisfy this requirement, the road test will not proceed, no refund will be issued and you will be responsible for paying for a new road test. You are encouraged to pay any fines on your motor vehicle file at least 24 hours ahead of the test to prevent delays.
Learner and probationary drivers with even a trace of alcohol in their blood are subject to a 24-hour suspension followed by a seven-day temporary driver permit and then a one-month driver’s licence suspension.
Fines and Penalties Specific to graduated licensing:
There is strong support for graduated licensing in Alberta and throughout North America. Significant decreases in the collisions, injuries and deaths of new drivers have been seen in all provinces that have implemented a graduated program. In Ontario, collision rates for new drivers have decreased 30 per cent since the province introduced graduated licensing.
