Class 7 and Graduated Driver Licensing: key rules to remember

Our summary of what the official handbook says on this topic, in our own words. Read it before or after the practice questions above, then check the original chapter. Read the official chapter ↗

Saskatchewan driver's licence program

Driving is a privilege, not a right. You need a valid licence for the type of vehicle you drive.
First application: original documents proving identity, residency and entitlement to be in Canada (no photocopies).
Testing required if: never licensed; no Saskatchewan licence (or that class/endorsement) in the past five years; becoming an SGI-certified instructor; changing class or adding an endorsement; new resident with a licence that is not honoured.
New residents from another Canadian province/territory: valid licence (or expired not older than five years) can be exchanged. May drive on the valid out-of-province licence for 90 days after moving.
Once a Saskatchewan licence is validated, the home jurisdiction licence becomes invalid.
The nine-month learning period and training may be waived with proof of past driving experience (licence in English or French, or another language with an acceptable translation such as an International Driving Permit).

Driver's licence

Expires on the last day of your birth month (or the month your immigration documents expire).
Must show it to a peace officer on request; officer may allow up to 48 hours to produce it.
Must obey any restrictions on the licence. Code A = prescribed glasses or contacts; B = no night driving.
Fake ID or altered licence: suspension of at least three months, fine of at least $125, possible Criminal Code fraud conviction.
Students at approved institutions and their families need not exchange their licence while studying.

Change of name or address

Tell SGI within 15 days.

Class 7

Lets you drive Class 5 vehicles as a learner. No motorcycle endorsement or three-wheeled vehicles as a learner.
Minimum age 16 (15 in High School Driver Education).
ID: full name and date of birth (birth certificate, passport or immigration documents) and a signature document. First-time drivers aged 15 to 18 need a completed parent/guardian or guarantor signature form.
Class 7 knowledge tests: Basic and Sign.
Supervising driver must: be able to take over at all times; hold Class 5 or higher (Canadian or U.S. equivalent); have held a valid licence at least 365 days in the past three years and not be a novice; sit in the seat nearest the driver and controls.
Class 7 may drive an ATV or snowmobile only if accompanied by, or supervised within 5 m and in view by, a Class 1-5 holder on another machine.

Class 5

Minimum age 16. Must hold Class 7 for nine months, pass a Class 5 road test, complete approved training.

Graduated Driver Licensing program

Three stages: Learner (Class 7), Novice 1, Novice 2, then experienced Class 5.
Learner: 9 months (interruptions such as suspension do not count). Supervising driver in the front passenger seat at all hours. Between midnight and 5 a.m., passengers must be immediate family.
Novice 1: 6 months after passing the road test. One passenger who is not immediate family; others must be immediate family.
Novice 2: 12 months free of at-fault collisions, traffic convictions and suspensions; an incident restarts the 12 months from the loss or conviction date.
All GDL stages: passengers limited to number of seatbelts; no cellphone of any type (hand-held or hands-free); no right-hand drive vehicle; cannot be a supervising driver; no commercial licence or school bus endorsement.
After the written exams you get a temporary paper licence until the card arrives; an SGI photo ID card is not a driver's licence.

Mandatory driver education

Class 7 holders cannot move up a class without SGI-certified training: high school program (30 hours in-class, 6 hours in-car) or at least 6 hours in-class and 6 hours in-car (age 16 and up).
Instructor adds a training record to your SGI file or issues a Driver Education Certificate.
Age 15 on a high school program waiting list can still write the Class 7 exam with the signature/guarantor form.

Before the examination

Book written appointments through a motor licence issuer or MySGI. Missing an appointment without cancelling means paying for the rescheduled one.
Written tests in Regina and Saskatoon: no appointment needed, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Saturday.
Bring proof of age and several pieces of original ID.

Your test

Three types of tests for all classes: knowledge, vision, road.
Knowledge tests have two parts: driving situations and rules of the road, and sign identification. Fail one part, rewrite only that part.
Passed written results are valid for one year. You may write only once per day. No cellphones or electronic devices in the test area. You may ask the examiner to explain a question.
Vision test may include field of vision, visual acuity and distance judgment. Passing only with glasses/contacts gives a restricted licence.
Class 7 must be held at least nine months before testing for another class.
Road test: you supply the vehicle; you fail for speeding, a collision you are 50% or more responsible for, not stopping or yielding, disobeying lights, needing examiner help. Class 5 failure = wait two weeks to retest. Road tests are in English.
