In Ontario, a G1 license is a beginner’s license with strict conditions:

1. Driving Restrictions

• You must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver (G or higher) with at least four years of driving experience.

• You cannot drive alone or on certain highways (e.g., 400-series highways) until you progress to a G2 license.

2. Insurance Coverage

• Most insurers do not issue standalone policies for G1 drivers.

• You can typically be added as an occasional or secondary driver on a parent’s or guardian’s policy.

• Premiums may be higher because G1 drivers are considered higher risk.
