Many of the G1 restrictions are removed for the G2 stage, though there are still some restrictions.

In addition to obeying the rules of the road like all other drivers, G2 drivers must:

• G2 Drivers can drive alone or with any number of passengers provided that they:

  • • only drive when they have a "zero" blood alcohol level – without exception.

    • Ensure all passengers wear a seatbelt and that the number of passengers does not exceed the amount of seatbelts available.

• if driving between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m and the G2 driver is under the age of 20:

  • • In the first six months of their G2 license, they can only have one passenger under the age of 19

    • In the next (and final) six months of their G2 license, they can have a maximum of three passengers under the age of 19

    • The passenger restrictions between midnight and 5am do not apply if any one of these conditions is met:

      • • The G2 driver is accompanied by a fully licensed driver in the front passenger seat

        • The passengers are members of your immediate family (a parent/guardian or those related to you by blood, marriage, common-law relationships, or adoption)

If you are convicted of breaking the graduated licensing rules, the consequences are serious: on your first conviction, your licence will be suspended for 30 days; on your second, it will be suspended for 90 days; and, on your third conviction, you will lose your novice licence altogether. If you lose your licence, you’ll have to start over, retake all the tests, and pay another round of fees.

Once you have passed the 12 month waiting period for G2, you may proceed on to the G2 exit stage and acquire a full G-class license, after completing the below tests at your nearest DriveTest Centre:

• Pass a road test:

  • You need to bring:

    • • A vehicle in good working order (either your own vehicle, or the training vehicle that your driving school may loan you)

      • Two pieces of identification

      • Money for test fees (cash, debit or credit)

      • Glasses/contact lenses if you require them

      • Arrive at least 30 minutes before the Road Test appointment.

      • You also need experience driving on highways of at least 80km/h before taking the G2 test, and sign a Declaration of Highway Driving Experience form, which details the highway experience you've had before taking the G2 test.

• • This road test deals with advanced driving skills and is more advanced than the G2 exit test. You will be tested on:

    • • How well you control your vehicle and perform tasks like:

        • • Starting

          • Stopping

          • Turning

          • Parallel Parking

          • Three point turning

      • Observation skills:

        • • How often you check your mirrors, and where you look

          • How you respond to traffic, signs, pavement markings, and possible hazards (like potholes, bad weather, etc)

      • Space management and communication with other drivers using:

        • • Usage of turn signals, brake lights, and making eye contact

          • Accuracy/courteousness in driving: ex. knowing when to yield right of way

      • Your skill driving on a highway/freeway safely.
