Is There A Hardship Drivers License In Alberta?
3 Answers
Hi! I live in rural Alberta, Canada and I'm starting to have an issue with commuting. I'm 16 and in grade 11.
Until recently, my mum drove me to school. When she occasionally couldn't drive me home, I would just throw my bike into the back of the truck in the morning and ride home after school (1hr).
Now, my mum has a new job. She's been leaving the house at 6:00 AM and coming home at 5:00 PM. This has left my brother and I to our own devices in terms of getting to school; I've been having a lot of trouble getting my brother and I to school. We walk to his school for one hour and then I ride my bike for half an hour to my school. My brother can't ride a bike on these dangerous roads; so, he's stuck walking for now.
To get back home, I ride my bike for an hour. My brother walks by himself on his walk home.
I know my commute could be a lot worse than 2.5 hours a day; however, it could be better. I'm never too happy when I show up to school soaking wet from the rain (common weather around this time of the year). Luckily it isn't snowing much any more; but when it was snowy, our trip to school was downright dangerous.
Public transit isn't an option; there is none. No Uber, no school bus. Nobody I can think to carpool with.
We have another car, totally running, right beside the house. Is there some sort of specialized license that I can get in my situation? I'm a decent driver for a learner; haven't hit anything yet! Having a car would cut these commute times down to 40 minutes a day. :) I live in Alberta, Canada.
On a completely unrelated note; does anybody know the consequences of driving with only my learners permit? What about insurance complications?
Thanks!

There's unlikely to be anyone on this UK-based website who knows a great deal about this subject. (Here in the UK the minimum age to drive a car is 17 anyway).

suggests that there's no way around your problem other than possibly getting a moped/motorbike and seeking a Class 6 GDL licence.
