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 using cash, electronic bill payment or certified cheque payable to Modo Co-operative; Credit cards and personal cheques will not be 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.
