The graduated licensing system in Ontario is a two-step process that new drivers must complete in order to get a full G licence.

There are two levels in the graduated licensing system:

• Level One (G1)
• Level Two (G2)

Each level has its own rules and restrictions.

Here is a summary of the graduated licensing system in Ontario:

Level One (G1)

• Drivers must not drive alone; they must have a qualified accompanying driver with them
• Drivers must not drive if they have been drinking alcohol (blood alcohol level must be zero)
• Drivers cannot drive on certain high-speed roads
• Drivers must not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
• Drivers must pass a road test to move to Level Two

Level Two (G2)

• Drivers have more privileges than Level One drivers, but there are still some restrictions
• Drivers must not drive if they have been drinking alcohol (blood alcohol level must be zero)
