These rules have been put in place to ensure the safety of both drivers and other road users. Commercial drivers must maintain a safe and reasonable speed, obey traffic signals and road signs, and keep a safe following distance from other vehicles. They must also maintain proper lane discipline, avoid distractions while driving, and conduct regular vehicle inspections before embarking on their journeys. Additionally, commercial drivers must be well-rested and not exceed their maximum service hours, as set out in the Provincial legislation. These traffic rules for commercial drivers are meant to promote safe and professional driving practices in British Columbia’s transport industry.

Remember, our tests are similar to the official BC professional drivers test you must take and pass to attain your commercial driver’s licence. No practice test can be the same as the official one, as they change often. Still, by practicing with them in conjunction with your “driving commercial vehicles – a guide for professional drivers” handbook, you will be well on your way to attaining your CDL in a short period.
