G - Highway Driving Training
In Canada, the "G exam" is a crucial component of the driver's license examinations in Ontario. This exam is mandatory for obtaining a class "G" driver's license, which allows drivers to operate vehicles independently. Here's an overview of the G exam process and what it entails.
G1 Licence
- Pass a knowledge test: To obtain a G1 (learner's) licence, candidates must first pass a written knowledge test that covers the rules of the road, traffic signs, and safe driving practices.
- Drive under supervision: Holders of a G1 licence are permitted to drive only when accompanied by an experienced adult driver who holds a full G licence. This helps new drivers gain practical experience under safe conditions.a
G2 Licence
- Hold a G1 licence for at least 12 months: Candidates must have held their G1 licence for a minimum of one year before they can apply for a G2 licence. This waiting period allows them to gain sufficient supervised driving experience.
- Pass a road test: To earn a G2 (provisional) licence, candidates must pass a practical road test. This test assesses their ability to operate a vehicle safely and competently in various driving situations, such as urban and highway driving, parking, and making turns.
Full G Licence
- Pass the G exam: After holding a G2 licence for a specified period, candidates can take the G exam to obtain a full G (unrestricted) licence. This final road test is more comprehensive and evaluates advanced driving skills, including highway driving and emergency maneuvers.
- Allows for independent driving: Once candidates pass the G exam, they receive a full G licence, which permits them to drive independently anywhere in Ontario without any restrictions.
Preparation for the G Exam
Preparation typically involves driver education courses, which enhance driving skills and boost candidates' confidence in passing the exam.
