If someone was caught driving with their G1 and received a ticket for $110 so if their licenses is suspended and do they have to wait an another year to apply for their G2?

According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) as a G1 driver, you are required to:

• maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving;
• be accompanied by a fully licensed driver, who has at least four years driving experience, and a blood alcohol level of less than .05 per cent, in case he/she needs to take over the wheel;
• ensure the accompanying driver is the only other person in the front seat;
• ensure the number of passengers in the vehicle is limited to the number of working seat belts;
• refrain from driving on Ontario's "400-series" highways or on high speed expressways such as the Queen Elizabeth Way, Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, E.C. Row Expressway and the Conestoga Parkway;
• refrain from driving between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

The MTO notes that if your accompanying driver is a driving instructor licensed in Ontario, you may drive on any road.

As you should be aware, in Ontario a new driver must hold a G1 licence for a minimum of 12 months before attempting the G1 road test. This time can be reduced to eight months if you successfully complete an approved driver education course. Drivers earn more privileges after passing their G1 road test.

The Ontario Driver's Handbook states that drivers holding G1, G2, M1 or M2 licences must follow the specific rules for their class of licence. If you violate any of the graduated licensing conditions for your class of licence, your licence will be suspended for 30 days. This suspension takes effect from the time you surrender your licence on or after the date of the suspension. You can lose your licence for up to two years if you fail to hand over your licence.

If your license was not suspended due to a restriction infraction but having too many points, with a G1 at nine points your licence will be suspended for 60 days from the date you surrender it to the Ministry of Transportation. After the suspension, the number of points on your record will be reduced to four. Any additional points could again bring you to the interview level. If you reach nine points again, your licence can be suspended for six months from the date you surrender it to the Ministry of Transportation.

The MTO also notes that in certain cases, suspended drivers may be required to submit to a re-examination as a condition of reinstating a driver's licence. Requirements for reinstatement may include the following:

• Knowledge test (including a vision test);
• Class G1, G2 or M1, M2 road test or M2 with condition "L" road test.

Drivers who fail to successfully complete the re-examination within 60 days of the reinstatement date, will have their licence cancelled. No licence will be issued until the re-examination requirements are met and the reinstatement fee (if applicable) is paid. From this information it appears when you can reinstate your license you may need to take a road test.

Neither the handbook or the MTO state that you will have to carry your G1 for a longer period of time due to having a suspension however we would advise you to check with the MTO directly when you are surrendering your license to see if this is an additional penalty that they have placed upon you due to your specific situation.
