What's up,

Nice website and forum, I'd say - thought I'd pass a question, I'm sort of confused, do I need to get a driver's license first before taking a rider's license?

I live in Calgary too, by the way.

Thanks for your time

In Alberta, you need a class 7 (learners) before getting a class 5 (regular driver) or class 6 (bike) and you need to be at least 16. Go to a registry office and pick up both the regular class 5 drivers handbook and the class 6 one for bikes. Or read them online here: http://www.infratrans.gov.ab.ca/Drivers ... ations.htm

So I'm right, I need to get a class 7 license, learning straight out of driver's book, not bike book?

Thanks again

Yes, you need the class 7. The info you need to get class 7 is in the regular driver handbook to write the test.

Oh yeah,

Hahah thanks

OK, I will write down the class 7 test after I study driver's handbook

But the question is, will I really have to hold the license for 1 year w/out passing for another class or riding the bike? If that's true, then waste of time, lol....

anybody?

Sorry, no answers for your questions from me.

Aw

Well, what's it like in your state, can you describe?

Thanks for welcome.

If your Q is do you need to have class 7 for a min of 1 year, then yes if you are 16 or under, it's all in the handbooks. If you go read the link all the answers are on there. Class 7 is only a written test - go do it sooner than later and the 1 year will start counting down...

well, i'm not under 16.....

So, if i pass class 7 written test, and get my license, why is it you have to wait for 1 year?

Thanks again.
