Getting Your Class 4
Class 4 is considered a commercial drivers licence. It is required for those who want to drive professionally in British Columbia. Thinking Driver Academy has a program for those interested in obtaining a Class 4 Licence. Whether you wish to drive a taxi, for a ride-hailing company such as UBER or LYFT, ambulance, handyDART bus, or delivery service, let us help you become the safest driver you can be on the road.
The core 3 elements of safe driving are Knowledge, Skills and Attitude. Traditional “old school” driver training delivered by most do a great job addressing knowledge and skill but miss the mark COMPLETELY when it comes to Attitude. Thinking Driver courses have been personally designed by our President, Spencer McDonald, North America’s leading authority on driver psychology and motivation to address Driver Attitudes like no other program does.
Before your first lesson with Thinking Driver Academy, we require participants to have a class 4 learner licence.
To begin the process, we recommend reading ICBC’s Driving Commercial Vehicles. In order to obtain a class 4 learner licence, a knowledge test must be completed at ICBC. Questions on the Knowledge test derive directly from the book.
