Frequently Asked Questions

Is the G1 test multiple choice?

Yes — every question has four answer choices with one correct answer.

How many questions are on the G1 test?

40 total: 20 on road signs and 20 on rules of the road. You need at least 16 correct in each section — passing signs but failing rules (or vice versa) means you fail the whole test.

Can G1 drivers drive on the highway?

No. G1 drivers cannot drive on 400-series highways or other high-speed expressways in Ontario.

Can I drive with a G1 licence?

Yes, but only with a fully licensed driver (G or higher) with at least 4 years of experience sitting in the front passenger seat.

Can I retake the test the same day if I fail?

No. If you fail, you must wait at least one day before retaking it, and each retake of the written test costs $16.

Can I buy a car while I only have a G1?

Yes — you can own a vehicle, but only a G2 or full G licence holder can legally drive it (with you as a G1 driver supervised in the passenger seat if applicable).

Does the G1 test expire?

Your G1 licence is valid for 5 years. You must pass the G2 road test within that window or your G1 expires and you’d need to restart the process.
