What does G2 indicate when displayed on a vehicle?

The G2 designation on a vehicle signifies that the driver holds a G2 license, which is a specific level of licensing in Ontario's graduated licensing system. This system is designed to help new drivers gain experience gradually while ensuring safety on the roads. A G2 license indicates that the driver has passed the necessary road tests and met specific requirements after initially obtaining their G1 license.

Drivers with a G2 license are subject to certain conditions and restrictions, such as limitations on the number of young passengers they can carry during the first few months after obtaining the license. These regulations are intended to promote safer driving habits as the driver continues to gain experience and eventually qualify for a full G license. Therefore, the presence of a G2 license highlights the driver's intermediate status, indicating to others that they are still in a transitional phase of their driving journey.
