3. After 6 months of practice, you will receive a Class 5 N2 licence.
4. Hold your Class 5 N2 licence at least 12 months accident and suspension-free. Then you will receive your Class 5 licence.

• You must maintain a 0% BAC level.

Have you held your learner licence for at least 12 months?

Once you have thoroughly read the SK Driver handbook, go ahead and book your test. Walk-ins are accepted in Regina and Saskatoon offices only. You may book and prepay for your test online. The written test fee is $25.

A Learner licence is the first licence you receive in the SK graduated licensing system. It is issued after you have passed the knowledge and vision tests. With this licence, you can only drive in the car with a fully licensed driver who has held their licence at least 365 consecutive days in the last 3 years. You must hold your learner licence for 9 months and complete a driver education course before you are eligible for a Class 5 N1 licence.

An N1 licence is the second licence you receive in the graduated licensing system. It is issued to you after you pass your road test. There are still some restrictions with this licence, such as no driving between midnight and 5 am, but at least you can drive alone with it.

An N2 licence is the third stage in the graduated licensing system. It is received after you have held your N1 for 12 months without any accidents. There are still restrictions in place.

Here’s a word of advice…practice EVERYTHING pertaining to the rules of the road. Sharpening those driving skills are the key to passing the road test. Here are some specific skills you should be practicing. Your practice should not be limited to this though. A good driving mentor should be able to properly guide you on additional skills.

• Practice signaling, entering and leaving turns in the proper lane.
• Practice driving through intersections at the proper speed.
• Become acquainted with different types of intersections and how to react in situations involving pedestrians and other vehicles.
• Practice speed and space control.
• Become familiar with how to react at various road signs.

On the SK road test, you can expect to demonstrate the following:

• Proper following distance between vehicles
• Parallel parking
• Proper Lane changing
• Frequent and exaggerated blind spot checks
• Defensive driving techniques
• Navigating through an intersection
• 3 point turn arounds
• And more…..

Here are some tips that will help you look great in front of the examiner.

• Give exaggerated head movements in order to show that you are aware of the traffic around you.
• Try to drive the exact speed limit. It’s ok to drive a little under just don’t go over. Also make sure that your speed is practical for the situation.
• Use, use, use those turn signals.
• Drive slowly through parking lots.
• Follow the rules of merging and exiting from a highway.

We know you want to do your best to not make any mistakes that would cause you to fail your road test. Here are errors that applicants seem to make often:

• Recklessly changing lanes by not observing blind spots
• Making “rolling” stops instead of complete stops at stop signs
• Turning into the wrong lane
• Disrupting traffic by going too slow
• Merging onto a highway more slowly than the speed of the highway traffic
• Riding with distractions in the car
• Speeding
• Lack of vehicle control

Don’t worry about being confused on what to do during your driving exam. Before the test begins, the driver examiner will explain to you everything you will be required to do. You will be asked 2 questions before the test begins:

• Do you require glasses or corrective lenses for driving?
• Do you suffer, or have you ever been advised by a physician that you suffer from heart disease, stroke, diabetes requiring insulin to control, epilepsy, seizure disorder, loss of consciousness or awareness, or any other medical condition or physical disability that may affect your safe operation of a motor vehicle?

Your vehicle will be checked in order to see if it properly functions. You will then proceed in showing the examiner how well you do the following:

• Use your signal and brake lights
• Use your accelerator and brakes
• Adjust safety devices
• Back up
• Observe other cars
• Overtake and pass other vehicles
• Obey all traffic signs and laws

• You may carry only one passenger who is not a family member
• You cannot drink before driving
• All passengers must be in seatbelts

Be prepared to have information such as:

• Your licence number
• Car description (Odometer number, VIN Number, year, make and model)
• Your address
• Number of kilometers you travel on average

Take note that every province has its own licensing body for agents and brokers. If you need to verify whether an insurance agent or broker is licensed to sell in your province, contact your province’s licensing body for more information.
