When is the G2 road test allowed to be taken?

The G2 road test can be taken 12 months after obtaining your G1 license. This timing is structured to provide new drivers with an adequate period to gain the necessary experience and confidence behind the wheel before attempting the G2 test. The purpose of this waiting period is to allow learners to practice their driving skills under various conditions, which is crucial for their safety and the safety of others on the road.

In Ontario, the G1 license is the initial stage in the Graduated Licensing System, which aims to ensure that new drivers are properly prepared for independent driving. By allowing 12 months, the system encourages consistent practice, which is essential for developing driving competencies, familiarization with traffic laws, and understanding how to handle different driving scenarios. With this foundational knowledge, drivers are better equipped to pass the G2 road test successfully.
