Ontario G1 guide
G1 vs G2 in Ontario: what changes
G1 is the start of Ontario’s graduated licensing: you pass a knowledge test and drive with G1 conditions. G2 comes after a road test (and waiting period rules as stated officially) with fewer restrictions than G1 but still not a full Class G. Always confirm current steps on Ontario.ca and DriveTest.

Knowledge test vs road test
The G1 knowledge test checks signs and rules. The G2 road test checks driving skill. Free online practice helps with knowledge prep only — it does not replace in-car training for the road test.
Why the distinction matters for study
If you are preparing for the knowledge test, focus on the handbook and practice quizzes. If you already hold G1 and are aiming for G2, shift time toward supervised driving practice while keeping rules fresh.
