Ontario graduated licensing (G1, G2, G)
Ontario new drivers earn full driving privileges in stages through the graduated licensing system. Passing the G1 knowledge test is the very first step.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Stage one is G1, earned by passing the vision and knowledge tests.
- ◆ You must hold G1 for 12 months before the G2 road test, or 8 months with an approved driver-education course.
- ◆ Passing the G1 road test gives you a G2 licence with fewer restrictions.
- ◆ After at least 12 months at G2 you can take the G2 (full G) road test.
- ◆ The whole graduated licensing process takes a minimum of about 20 months.
