| 16-year-olds with 'L' licenses can now participate in a BC carshare program
Not enough N driver on the road gotta add more L driver too
In a move it says is a first for the North American carshare industry, BC-based carshare co-op program Modo announced today that drivers as young as 16 with ‘Learners” or “L” licenses can now participate in the program.
In a release, Modo said it hopes the move will “will inspire the next generation to consider carsharing over car ownership.”
Modo’s fleet includes over 600 vehicles across the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island, and in the Okanagan.
“It’s very fitting that Modo is the first carshare in North America to enable younger people and those with an “L” to use our service, as it aligns exceptionally well with our purpose,” said Modo’s Director of Marketing, Selena McLachlan. “Learners… are able to join the co-op… while driving behaviours are still being formed.”
Green Members will join under a Principal Member’s account, who must be a member-owner of the co- op, 25 or older, with a full license.
Like all drivers with an “L,” they must be accompanied by an adult with a full license.
Under Modo’s Green Member Program, this can be the Principal Member, or a “qualified supervisor” as per ICBC’s rules and regulations.

I was probably a safer driver with my L at 16 then now with buncha bad habits
rolling stops, eating at red, still tailgating from time-to-time
I'd rather share the road with L drivers with an adult then foreign license-converters

Apparently they think putting an L on their car allows them to do whatever the f they want even though they have their "full" foreign licence.

I think with L drivers you're going to be seeing a lot of clueless drivers who don't know where/what to do especially given the summer season where people venture to places they don't normally go to...I hope they can actively enforce the "supervisor" requirement...

Hmm true. Or this will increase their access to get a car without having to ask their parents permission. I wonder if it needs a full license or parents ID to unlock or something.

how's license renewal road test still not a thing?
do they just not want to alienate the growing aging population?
ICBC needs money badly, well here's a pretty fair and reasonable way to make some
and I used to think aircare was purely a cash grab until I see lifted F350 in WOT filling the street with plumes of black and blue

At those prices, I'd be very surprised if ICBC doens't lose money on each and every exam.
By my own guess, ICBC needs to be charging $80 - $100 per road test (if not higher) in order for them to turn in a profit on this service.
