RoadSafetyBC refers drivers to the Responsible Driver Program. We do this when we have prohibited a driver because of alcohol or drugs. Research shows responsible driving programs reduce alcohol or drug related collisions and convictions. We will send a letter to drivers we refer to the program. It will let them know about the program and the status of their licence.
Moving forward, drivers can register for the program with Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), make payments and speak to them on the telephone. Visit for more details.
CAMH will interview drivers referred to the program over the phone. It uses the results of the interview to determine if a driver must take the 8- or the 16-hour program.
CAMH will share the driver's results in the program and their attendance with RoadSafetyBC.
Visit CAMH for information on the program, its cost, and how to register.
If you are eligible for a reconsideration, the process to follow is in the Notice to Refer to Remedial Programs letter we sent you. If you can't find your referral letter or need more information, contact ICBC or RoadSafetyBC.
