Administrative Driving Prohibition Review

I have been served with a notice of an Administrative Driving Prohibition. What are my options?

Review instructions appear on the Notice of Prohibition that you were served.

If you wish to have a review of the prohibition - attend your nearest ICBC Driver Services Centre within 7 days from the date you were served with the notice to apply.

If you do not wish to apply for a review, the prohibition will come into effect on the 21st day after you were served the notice of prohibition and will be in effect for 90 days. Once the 90 days has expired, attend your nearest ICBC Driver Services Centre to apply for a new licence.

If you need information concerning licensing requirements, call ICBC at 1-800-950-1498, or 978-8300 in the Greater Victoria area.

I have applied for a review of an Administrative Driving Prohibition. When will I receive a decision?

When a decision has been made, the decision will be sent to you by regular mail.

The prohibition will start 21 days after you were served with the ADP Notice unless you are advised that your prohibition was overturned.

I applied for a review and have received a decision letter.
Can I appeal the review decision?

The review decision that was made is final and cannot be changed. The start date of a prohibition is stated in the letter you received. This date cannot be changed. There is no provision in the Motor Vehicle Act for a restricted driver's licence.
