    drinving with bioptics in Canada BC

    Hiello there, i recintly came across that i would be able to obtain a drivers license in BC with a bioptic device. However my understanding is in order to get a liense using bioptics here in BC that i would have to get special training in using the device first. The problem is that the training is very expensive and i cant afford it, so i was wondering can i train myself to use bioptics to get a license and if so how can i start the process in trying to get my learners.

     Who would i contact in ICBC to get started in applyhing for a license using bioptics. Im sure if i went to the licenseig office i would have to do a vision test thers but your not aloud to test with these devices.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi there...

     I'm Julie and I live just outside Toronto in ON. The law must be different there in BC. It's illegal to use a bioptic to drive in Ontario.

    My advice would be to contact your local or regional CNIB office. They could probably provide you with some helpful info. I know they've always been more than happy to help me out with and things I need info on.

     Sorry I can't be more help, but that might be a place to start.

    All the best!

    Julie
