Through the Quebec Road Safety Education Program, the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) has implemented a strict driver education program whereby new, inexperienced drivers can learn key skills to become capable and confident Quebec drivers (a similar QC motorcycle driver education program is also in place). New drivers first practice under supervision with a Quebec learners permit and then perfect their driving skills with the Class 5 probationary licence Quebec offers. Most prospective Quebec drivers are able to build strong driving skills before they graduate to the full Class 5 license Quebec makes available to qualified drivers.
The SAAQ is the organization responsible for driver licensing and the associated services for the province. By enforcing a mandatory Quebec Road Safety Education Program and issuing comprehensive SAAQ knowledge tests, the SAAQ is able to train aspiring Quebec drivers to anticipate and handle all road situations. Driver licensing in Quebec from the learner, through the probationary and eventually at the Class 5 licence stage, is all managed through SAAQ offices.
