Quad laws for British Columbia

[rocker]

Rules for Quad owners in the province of British Columbia.

Registration & Licensing
Q: What is the difference between registration and licensing?

Registration is identification that links the vehicle to the rider; a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) only identifies the vehicle. Mandatory vehicle registration is required for all ORV riders at sale and resale; Federal and private lands are excluded.

The licence refers to the clearly visible licence plate or decal that is part of vehicle registration.

Annual vehicle licensing is the standard requirement on public roads and highways under the Motor Vehicle Act. Optional annual vehicle licensing is available to ORV riders who want blanket authorization for the use of all designated public roads/highway crossings, including the portion of the right-of-way, across BC.

Q: Under what circumstances do I need registration, licensing or insurance for my ORV?

Vehicle registration - all ORV riders will require one-time mandatory vehicle registration (sale/resale). Federal and private lands are excluded.

Licence plate/decal – all ORV riders will require a licence plate or decal that will be associated with vehicle registration.

Annual vehicle licence– only applies to ORV riders who choose to access designated public road/highway crossings or portions of the right of way. ORV riders that stay on Crown land only need registration.

Liability insurance – On public roads and highways, basic insurance continues to be a requirement for all motorists; ORV riders who choose to cross at designated public road crossings will require basic insurance from ICBC. On Forest Service Roads, liability insurance continues to be a requirement. On Crown land, liability insurance is voluntary.

Drivers Licence - On public roads and highways, a driver’s licence continues to be a requirement for all motorists; ORV riders who access at designated public road/highway crossings or portions of the right of way will also require a valid driver’s licence.

Q: Will ICBC be responsible for ORV registration and licensing?

The Province will work closely with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) to implement service delivery within two years. ORV registration and licensing costs will be based on a user-pay approach and comparable to other small vehicles.

Government anticipates that it will take up to two years to allow the service provider (ICBC) to upgrade their systems and to ensure smooth business transition for front-line service providers.
