Level One - Ontario Drivers License G1 |
|
If you are at least 16 years old, you can begin with
Level One (G1). In Level One as a novice driver, you
can begin learning to drive cars, vans or small trucks.
In Level One, six conditions help make
your driving practice safer:
- You must not drive alone. A licensed driver instructor
or a fully licensed driver who has at least four years
of driving experience must sit in the front passenger
seat. Note: On an Ontario driver's licence, the photo
of the licence holder with four or more years of driving
experience has, under it, a red bar with four white
dots. These are the only persons who can be in the
front seat with you while you drive. This person's
blood alcohol content must be less than .05 per cent,
the legal suspension limit for fully licensed drivers.
- You must ensure the accompanying driver is the
only other person in the front seat.
- You must not drink any alcohol if you are going
to drive. Your blood alcohol content must be zero
when you're driving.
- You must not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
- Each person in the vehicle must have a seat belt,
so everyone is protected and your vehicle is not over-crowded.
- You must not drive on Ontario's "400-series" highways
or on high-speed expressways such as the Queen Elizabeth
Way, the Don Valley Parkway, the Gardiner Expressway
and the E.C. Row Expressway. Your Driver's Handbook
has a complete list of those highways.
Note:
If your accompanying
driver is a Dynamic Driver Training Instructor,
you may drive on any road.
As a G1 licenced driver you a required to wait a minimum of 12 months
before you are eligible for a G1 exit road test.
However you can reduce that time to 8 months
by completing a Ministry-approved driver education
course like Dynamic Driver Training’s MTO
Approved Beginner Driver Education course.
At the end of Level One, you must pass a road test
(G1 Exit Ontario driving test) to move to Level
Two. |

Level Two (Ontario Drivers License G2) |
|
In Level Two as a novice driver, which lasts at least
12 months, you can drive at any time of day or night,
without an accompanying driver. You may also drive on
any Ontario road.
Four important conditions still apply
in Level Two:
- You must not drink any alcohol if you are going
to drive. Your blood alcohol must still be zero when
you're driving.
- Each person must have a seat belt, so your vehicle
is not over-crowded and every passenger is protected.
These rules apply between midnight and 5am:
- In the first six months after recieving your G2 license, you're allowed
to carry only one passenger aged 19 and under.
- After six months with your G2 license and until you obtain your full
G license or turn 20, you are allowed to carry up to three passengers
aged 19 and under.
Exemptions: These restrictions do not apply if you are accompanied by a fully licensed driver (with at least four years of driving experience) in the front seat or if your young passengers are members of your immediate family.
| It
will take at least 20 months from the time you
start in Level One to the time you can take the
Level Two test to earn full driving privileges.
The final test measures your overall driving ability.
You must pass the Level Two road test to become
a fully licensed class G driver. Novice Driver
Re-qualification: Your Level One or Level Two
novice licence will expire if you do not exit
the Graduated Licensing Program within 5 years
after you obtained your novice licence. To keep
your driving privileges, you can take the appropriate
road test to graduate to the next level of licence,
example, take Level One road test to graduate
to Level Two, or Level Two road test to graduate
to a full class licence. If not, your licence
will expire and you will have to take the knowledge
test to re-qualify for Level One, or take Level
One road test (Ontario Driver's G1 Test) to re-qualify
for Level Two. |
