What is a requirement for drivers with a G1 license regarding supervision?

For drivers holding a G1 license in Ontario, the requirement is that they must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver who has a minimum of four years of driving experience. This rule is in place to ensure that G1 drivers receive the necessary guidance and support from more experienced drivers while they gain practical experience on the road. The supervision helps to improve the safety of both the learner and other road users by ensuring that there is an experienced driver present to assist in critical situations and offer instruction.

Having a supervisor with at least four years of driving experience means that the accompanying driver is likely to be well-versed in road rules, driving techniques, and safety practices, all of which are crucial for the learning process. Other age and experience requirements, such as needing to drive specifically with someone over 25 or having less than or more than a certain amount of driving experience, do not align with the established rules for G1 holders. Thus, requiring a supervisor with at least four years of experience is essential for ensuring a safe learning environment for new drivers.
