I have been hearing that they've changed the law to getting your G1 when your 19, is this true?

We are unaware of any changes to the laws in the Graduated Licensing System that requires a driver to be 19 to get their G1 license.

There were some recent changes to the G2 class to help reduce death and injury among novice drivers. New teenage drivers are almost three times more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious collision when they are carrying teenage passengers. In fact, research shows the more teenage passengers, the higher the risk.

Thirty-one jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S. have some form of teenage passenger restrictions in effect.

Effective September 1, 2005:

  • The number of young passengers that teen G2 drivers can carry will be limited from midnight to 5 a.m.
  • Initially, G2 drivers 19 or under can carry only one passenger aged 19 or under.
  • After the first six months, and until the G2 driver earns a full G licence or turns 20, they can carry only three passengers aged 19 or under.
  • These restrictions will not apply if the G2 driver is accompanied by a full "G" licensed driver (with at least four years driving experience) in the front seat, or if the passengers are immediate family members.

All of this information is available at the Ministry of Transportation's office, but we re-print and expound upon the information here for your edification.
