Stunt Driving G2 Penalties for Novice Drivers in Ontario

If you’re a Novice Driver in Ontario, the G2 Licence is a crucial milestone on your road to becoming a seasoned motorist. It’s your stepping stone, sitting right between the beginner’s permit and the full Class G licence. Consider the G2 as your temporary driving ticket, a stage before you gain complete driving freedom in Ontario.

Key Novice Driver & G2 Licence Rules

  • How Long to Keep the G2 Licence? At least 12 months before you can consider moving on.
  • Blood-Alcohol Level: Always keep it at zero. Safety first!
  • Seat Belts: No passenger should be without one – no excuses.
  • Driving at Night Restrictions: New drivers below 20 years? Only one passenger of the same age bracket between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. for the first six months. After this period, up to three young passengers are allowed.

Stunt Driving: Big Trouble for G2 Novice Drivers

The Province takes a keen interest when a G2 novice driver faces a stunt driving charge for some of the following reasons:

  • Novice Drivers are seen as “inexperienced” on the roads.

  • Novice Drivers lacks a long, clean driving history to support to refute a pattern of behaviour for speeding.
