Essential Tips for First-Time Drivers in Ontario

Starting your driving journey as a new driver can feel overwhelming, but with the right preparation, it can become much easier. This blog will cover everything from preparing for your first road test to understanding the steps involved in obtaining your G1 and G2 licenses.

Helpful Tips:

1. Get Familiar with the G1 Restrictions:

   The G1 license comes with restrictions such as no driving between midnight and 5 a.m. and requiring a fully G licensed driver with 4+years with you at all times. Know these limitations to avoid surprises.

2. Start with Theory:

   Before taking the road test, study for your G1 written test. Understand traffic laws, road signs, and basic vehicle operation.

3. Take Driving Lessons:

   While it’s possible to learn with a parent or guardian, professional lessons help ensure you’re learning the right techniques and can prepare you for both your G2 road test and G road test.

4. Practice, Practice, Practice:

   Before your G2 test, spend ample time driving in different conditions—such as city streets, highways, and adverse weather—to build your confidence.
