Does Your BDE Certificate Expire in Ontario?

How Long Is Your G1 Licence Valid in Ontario?

Can You Drive on the Highway with a G2 Licence?
Yes, you can drive on all Ontario highways with a G2 licence, including 400-series highways. There are no highway restrictions for G2 drivers. However, G1 drivers cannot drive on 400-series highways unless accompanied by a licensed driving instructor.
How Long Is the G2 Road Test? (20 Min Driving + Check-In)
The G2 road test in Ontario takes approximately 20 minutes of actual driving time. Including the check-in process, pre-drive inspection, and receiving your results, plan for about 45 minutes to 1 hour at the DriveTest centre.
Can You Use a Driving School Car for Your Road Test?
Yes, you can use a driving school car for your G2 or G road test in Ontario. Many students prefer this because the car is already set up with dual controls, proper insurance, and is familiar from practice lessons. Most driving schools offer a road test escort service.
