| point threshold for suspensions
I got a 1 month suspension over a year ago. I haven't had any tickets with points up until tonight. disobeying a stop sign 3 points. should i be expecting a 3 month suspension notice in the mail sometime soon? or am i in the clear?
I have my N still. I can take my class 5 in a few months. if i dispute it do you guys think i will i be able to obtain my class 5 before the court date?

Ya, if you let the ticket go through you will lose your licence.
Dispute it and get your class 5.

How long did you EXPECT it to take?

As I understand it, if you have your N and you get any form of violation you go on probation automatically. Further violations will result in suspension further than that will lead to loss of your liscence, it can also lead to them extending your period before you can test for your class 5 (as happened to my sister recently).
You'll want to appeal ASAP especially if he filled it out incorrectly, but if ICBC has already processed a suspension notice I doubt you'll be able to test for your class 5.

Being on probation is irrelevant; suspensions and revocations are based on points, as long as you don't exceed the maximum points nothing will happen.
If you dispute a ticket, you can test for a class 5 and avoid the suspension, its a classic loop hole. Quote:

While that's a handy loop hole that's utterly moronic on ICBC's part.

Some consequences may be automatic beyond a point threshold, but anything that brings your bad driving to the attention of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles may prompt them to suspend you. A dozen "fail to display L or N" within a month won't get you any points, but it may well garner you a "We're watching you very closely and if you screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!" er... oops, movie flashback

cant ICBC check for his driving history and see that he has a dispute in progress for running a stop sign and not allow him to take the test?

I don't think ICBC checks your record before a road test... technically, it's not relevant. All that's required is that you have a valid license, since it is, after all, a road test. If you lose your dispute, your license is suspended immediately, and you're not allowed to drive on the public roads, which makes it difficult to do a road test.
Until the court date, it's innocent until proven guilty.

it takes 4 points to lose your license. you usually get put on probation after your first ticket, unless it's something like driving without due care/consideration which are 6 points...
so dispute your ticket, take your class 5 test, get your class 5 then go to court and if the cop shows up, please guilty and ask for a reduction.

IIRC even after you get your class 5 you'll still get suspended. the best you can make out of this situation is to nab the class 5 so you dont have to wait another year / 2 years to get it.

i got another one tonight lol. cop followed me for 20 minutes @ 3am until i finally semi-fucked up. i stopped at a red light (but quickly) creeped up slow to turn right. and he pulled me over saying i didnt full stop at the red light which im positive i did full stop. especially already knowing hes been following me for so long i was conscious .
he gave me a ticket for no N he said. but on the ticket it says driving contrary to restrictions. so he gave me the wrong ticket. can i mention this and pay the no N ticket over the one he gave me. no points vs points
im terrified to drive at night. i never drive over the speed limit yet over 50% of the time i will have a cop tail me. my car is a heat box and im always driving past 2am from northvan to richmond. (friends / gf)

What they say is you're ALLOWED one ticket, which means you will not lose your license after one... unless it's something like driving without due care, which carries 6 points.

You will just have to pay for the points at the end of the year, you get a letter a month before your birthday.

(friends / gf) | driving contrary to restrictions is what you get if the cop is a dick and wants you to lose your license. He could be nice and give you a no N ticket, which would not carry any points. Driving contrary to restriction carries 3 points. You should dispute that ticket for sure. Then go to court, if the cop shows up, ask the judge to change the ticket to a no N ticket, and reduce the fine. Minimum fine for the no N is like $50 and does not carry points.
