The previous five years are considered when applying the mandatory requirements for alcohol-related programs, such as the remedial driving program and the ignition interlock program. Previous two years are generally considered by RoadSafetyBC when deciding whether to prohibit you from driving. However, your driving history older than two years can have a negative impact, particularly if you have been prohibited in the past because the record of certain driving prohibitions remains on your driving abstract for all time.

As for your driving record, ICBC maintains a full driving history containing all of your traffic violations as well as all of your driving suspensions and prohibitions. Police and other authorities can access this record. For example, police can hold your record against you in traffic court and it is this driving record that is reviewed by Crown Counsel when you are facing driving charges under the Criminal Code or infractions under the Motor Vehicle Act. A bad driving record, even a dated one, can affect the way the Crown Counsel views your case.
