Getting an Ontario Driver’s License |

I recently got my G1 license. In order to get the license, I had to pass a vision and written test. The written test contained questions about the rules of the road and traffic signs. I studied for the test by reading The Official MTO Driver’s Handbook, both available in print and online.

This was not my first time getting a driver's license. I actually had a G2 license 8 years ago. However, it expired because I did not complete the Level Two (G2) road test. Having not completed the graduated licensing process, I had to start all over again.

Graduated licensing is a two-step process:

Pass a vision test and a test of your knowledge of the rules of the road and traffics signs. Once you pass these tests, you will enter Level One and get a G1 license.
Then you must pass two driving tests. Once you pass the first test, you move to Level Two and get a G2 license. Then after passing the second driving test, you become a fully licensed driver with a G license.

If you are also planning to get your license, here are some books that can help:
