Can we drive indipendantly on highway (alone) after getting G2???

These are the only restrictions outlined in the official website.

_______________________________________________________

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.

Our Graduated Licensing System has been a resounding success in reducing death and injury among novice drivers. Ontario research shows that new teenage drivers are almost three times more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious collision when they are carrying teenage passengers. In fact, research shows the more teenage passengers, the higher the risk.

To further protect youth on our roads, effective September 1, 2005: the number of young passengers that teen G2 drivers can carry will be limited from midnight to 5 a.m. as follows:

· Initially, G2 drivers 19 or under can carry only one passenger aged 19 or under.

· After the first six months, and until the G2 driver earns a full G licence or turns 20, they can carry only three passengers aged 19 or under.

The passenger restrictions do not apply if the G2 driver is operating a motor vehicle after 5 a.m. and before midnight.

These restrictions will not apply if the G2 driver is accompanied by a full "G" licensed driver (with at least four years driving experience) in the front seat, or if the passengers are immediate family members.

Thirty-one jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S. have some form of teenage passenger restrictions in effect.

another benefit of having a G license over a G2 is while renewing after 5 years .
you have to redo the test to retain G2 ( if you havent upgraded to G ) .

if you have upgraded to G you just pay your fee and get a renewed license .

also if you submitted your license from abroad you may be eligible to directly apply for G license without waiting for 12 months ( depends how long you have been holding you license from abroad ) .

depends on which way we talk actually !


::.. then the only difference between G1, G2 and G

Canadian way : imp. to learn step by step and become a fully licenced driver

Desi way: the only difference is the amount the money they charge varies with each of them. In other ways these are all the steps to mint money from immigrants and residents..LOL
