G1 driver restrictions
As a G1 driver you face several restrictions designed to build experience safely. These rules are frequently tested, so know them well.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ You must have zero blood alcohol concentration whenever you drive.
- ◆ An accompanying driver with a full Class G licence (held at least four years) must sit in the front passenger seat.
- ◆ You may not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
- ◆ You may not drive on 400-series highways unless a licensed driving instructor is with you.
- ◆ Every person in the vehicle must have a working seat belt, and all must be worn.
Ontario uses a graduated licensing system: G1, then G2, then a full G. You must hold the G1 for at least 12 months (8 with an approved driver-education course) before the G2 road test.
