Difference between G2 and G in Ontario?

What are G2 restrictions in Ontario? I can't seem to find much on the net. Thanks. "Squat Til You Puke" "Shut the F... Up and Train"

a first page of google search "g2 restrictions ontario" gave this: Under the G2, the only restrictions are that (a) you must have a blood-alcohol level of 0 when driving and, (b) there cannot be more people in the car than there are seatbelts. Heatware

Doesn't your G2 expire after a certain year? 1. Alcohol 2. Seatbelt - to a certain degree, since even G drivers need to have people wearing seatbelts in the back, no matter the age. 3. No Expiry

Yes, you must upgrade from a G2 to a G within 5 years, or start with a G1 again. - Absolute +1

It expires in 5 years, you can redo the G2 to get another 5 year G2 license. :hay: [You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.]

FYI, I would get your G 1 year and 1 day after you get your G2, the longer you've had your G the better it looks to your insurance. The test is NOT hard, espeically if your comfortable merging with highway traffic (which you should be after a year) about the alcohol, for the most part cops dont check your license at R.I.D.E check points, but if you get an a-hole cop they can suspend your license for 90 days. Autocorrect sucks

thats semi-true for the insurance, but it doesnt really matter until ur 25. ur rates will be the same. ur G will decrease ur insurance a bit then it already is, but wont change again until ur 25

also good to get it early because a lot of people forget, do the test the weekend before their license expires, fail and start with there G1 :p Autocorrect sucks

yea, the full g test is very easy to do. most of the time it lasts only 15 minutes and they don't even ask you to parallel park or emergency stop (especially if your test is during rush hour.) also, getting the G lets you work as a driver and rent cars. [Heatware] : 11-0-0

do you have to get your G within 5 years of your G1 expiry date? or will it be extended when you obtain your G2?

Its extended after you get your G2 IF you have less than a certain amount of time before the license expires. I think its around a year or so.

How about insteads of THINKING about it, you go to the source? http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/ ... index.html Class G1 New drivers of passenger vehicles learn to drive with six important conditions with a G1 licence. A new driver must hold a G1 licence for a minimum of 12 months before attempting the G1 road test. This time can be reduced to eight months if you successfully complete an approved driver education course. Drivers earn more privileges after passing their G1 road test. As a G1 driver, you are required to: * maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving; * be accompanied by a fully licensed driver, who has at least four years driving experience, and a blood alcohol level of less than .05 per cent, in case he/she needs to take over the wheel; * ensure the accompanying driver is the only other person in the front seat; * ensure the number of passengers in the vehicle is limited to the number of working seat belts; * refrain from driving on Ontario's "400-series" highways or on high speed expressways such as the Queen Elizabeth Way, Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, E.C. Row Expressway and the Conestoga Parkway; * refrain from driving between midnight and 5:00 a.m. Note: If your accompanying driver is a driving instructor licensed in Ontario, you may drive on any road. See also: Ministry-Approved Beginner Driver Education Courses Class G2 New drivers must hold a G2 licence for a minimum of 12 months before they can attempt the G2 road test. At this level, you have more privileges because of your driving experience. You may drive without an accompanying driver on all Ontario roads anytime. However, you are still required to: * maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving; * ensure the number of passengers in the vehicle is limited to the number of working seat belts.

it is 5 years after your G1, from G1, you have 5 years to obtain your G if you wait 4 years to get your G2 then you're an idiot but i do believe there is a grace period. your license will not expired as long as you have a test booked.
