Saskatchewan Class 7 Numbers Cheat Sheet: Every SGI Figure on One Page
Facts verified: November 7, 2026
The sheet has 66 rows. Each was checked against the SGI Driver's Handbook 2026-27, The Traffic Safety Act, The Driver Licensing and Suspension Regulations, 2006, or The Summary Offences Procedure Regulations, 1991, with some figures also confirmed on saskatchewan.ca. No driving school, forum or prep site was used.
The Class 7 Learner knowledge test rewards people who know where Saskatchewan's numbers really come from, because a few of them are not what the handbook's shorthand suggests.
Start with a correction on our side. One question asked about a Novice 1 driver and the midnight to 5 a.m. rule that every passenger must be immediate family. The handbook's graduated licensing table and section 9(2)(a) of the licensing regulations put that rule on the Class 7 Learner. Novice 1 has a different limit: one passenger who is not immediate family. The question has been flagged for fixing.
Then the fines. The handbook says fines triple in work zones, but the regulations show something narrower: the per km/h rate triples ($6 and $12, against $2 and $4), while the base amount is $240 against $100. The $360 minimum for passing a school bus is not in the Act either, which sets only a $1,000 maximum. It is a $300 specified penalty plus the $60 victim surcharge.
Roadside suspensions are the third trap. The Highway Traffic Board page says one year for a new driver's third offence, but the Act and the handbook both say 18 months. New drivers get 60 days, 120 days, then 18 months. Experienced drivers get 3, 21 and 90 days.
The demerit ladder is the open question. The 2026-27 handbook puts the first 30-day suspension at 21 points, yet a 2016 order describes it at 18. We could not read the current regulation text, so the rows at 18, 21, 24 and 27 points are marked single source and carry a visible warning.
On gaps: 20 rows rest on one official source, usually the handbook alone, and say so. Nothing was published without a source. Several official facts, such as the collision reporting threshold and per-offence demerit points, are left off because our questions do not test them or no source states them.
