Observation
Scan far ahead, check mirrors regularly and watch areas where pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles may enter your path.
Right-of-way and intersections
Right-of-way rules help traffic move predictably, but having priority never removes the duty to avoid a collision. Study controlled and uncontrolled intersections, four-way stops, left turns, pedestrian crossings and emergency vehicles.
Speed, following distance and stopping
Safe speed depends on traffic, visibility, weather and road conditions—not only the posted limit. Leave enough space to react, and increase it when roads are wet, icy, dark or crowded.
Communication
Signal early, position the vehicle clearly and make sure other road users have time to understand your intention.
G1 licence conditions
A G1 is a beginner licence with special conditions. Your accompanying driver, time of travel, roadway and alcohol or cannabis rules matter. Because regulations can change, verify the current wording in the official Ontario handbook before test day.
- Know who qualifies as an accompanying driver
- Know where and when a G1 driver may operate
- Understand seat-belt and passenger requirements
- Review zero-tolerance rules for novice drivers
- Understand how violations can affect novice-driver status
Demerit points and penalties
Questions may test how unsafe actions lead to fines, points, suspensions or other consequences. Learn the behaviour behind the penalty—such as failing to stop, careless driving or passing a stopped school bus—rather than memorizing isolated numbers.
