What is the main goal of Ontario’s Graduated Licensing System?

The main goal of Ontario's Graduated Licensing System is to gradually introduce new drivers to the road. This system is designed to provide a structured approach to acquiring driving skills, allowing new drivers to gain experience under progressively less restrictive conditions. Initially, new drivers are given a G1 license, which comes with certain restrictions, such as driving with a fully licensed driver and prohibitions on driving at night or on certain high-speed roads. As they accumulate experience and demonstrate responsible driving behavior, they can advance to a G2 license, which has fewer restrictions but still requires them to adhere to specific rules. This progression helps ensure that new drivers are adequately prepared for the complexities of driving on their own, ultimately aiming to enhance road safety for everyone.
