The rules of the road are constantly evolving. We could all use a refresher every now and then to keep our skills up.

To review your driving knowledge, you can visit any driver licensing office to pick up a copy of ICBC's Learn to Drive Smart or Tuning Up for Drivers. You can also try taking the online practice knowledge test.

You might also want to consider driver training or taking a refresher course for experienced drivers.

​At age 80, 85 and every two years following, you will need a Driver's Medical Examination Report (DMER) completed by your physician, as required by the provincial Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. If further evaluation is required, you may also be referred to an Enhanced Road Assessment (ERA).

To keep you safer on the road, here are some maintenance tips to ensure your vehicle is in good working condition:

• Clean the outside and inside of the windshield regularly to improve visibility.
• Keep tires properly inflated for good steering and braking.
• Replace the wiper blades at least annually.
• Check monthly that headlights, brake lights and turn signal lights work.
• Have your vehicle serviced regularly to keep it running well.

In addition, having vehicle equipment like GPS, rear backup cameras, and oversized rearview mirrors may be helpful.
