What is a G1 licence?

A G1 licence is the beginner’s driver’s licence in Ontario, Canada. It allows new drivers to learn how to drive under specific restrictions, such as being accompanied by a fully licensed driver with at least four years of driving experience. G1 licence holders are not permitted to drive on 400-series highways or high-speed expressways and must maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving. The G1 phase lasts for a minimum of 12 months, after which the driver can take the G1 exit road test to progress to the G2 licence. The G1 licence is part of Ontario’s graduated licensing system designed to help new drivers gain experience gradually.
