Frequently asked questions

Modo for L or N drivers

What is a green member?

We call green members, all learner and new drivers in your life who are 16+ with an L, or under 19 with an N and who are looking to earn driving hours (or pass their exam) towards their full license in the province of British Columbia.

You're 19+ and have a N? See how to join modo.

How do I become a green member?

To join as a green member, you’ll first have to meet the following requirements:

Be 16+ with an L, or under 19 with an N
Be sponsored by a Modo Plus member who is 25 or older with a valid ICBC-issued Class 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 driver’s licence (full licence)
Green members are not eligible to participate in Modo’s Damage Pool and are required to pay a $1,500 damage deposit*, which is refundable if/when the Green driver is eligible to join Modo with a full licence.

*Payment can be made by Electronic Bill Payment (EBP) directly from your bank account. Credit cards, cash, certified cheques and personal cheques are not accepted.

Find your mentor within the Modo Plus community, complete together the Green Member-Agreement and send the signed form to info@modo.coop

Driving as a green member

All green members can make bookings, but only members with a full licence (N or Class 1-5) will be issued a fob.

Learner drivers (with an L) may drive a Modo vehicle when accompanied by the Modo Plus Principal member or a member that meets the criteria of a ‘‘qualified supervisor’’ (per ICBC definition), when the vehicle is used during a lesson with an accredited driving school or during an L driver’s ‘‘N’’ road test.

What is the responsibility of sponsoring a green member?

It’s like a mentorship!

The green member account will be linked to the sponsoring Modo Plus member who will be liable for up to $2,500 in the event the green member is involved in an at-fault accident. The sponsoring Modo Plus member is fully responsible for the Green Member’s obligations to Modo.
