As a Level 1 (G1) driver, you must be accompanied by a Class G or higher licensed driver, who has driving experience of more than
- A. six years.
- B. eight years.
- C. four years.
- D. three years.
Answer: C. four years.
As a Level 1 (G1) driver in Ontario, you must always be accompanied by a fully licensed Class G driver or higher. This accompanying driver must have held their license for a minimum of four years and have a blood-alcohol level of less than 0.05%. This requirement ensures that new drivers receive supervision from an experienced and responsible individual, enhancing safety during their learning period.
As a level one (G1) driver, you must be accompanied by a class G or higher licensed driver, who has driving experience of more than:
- A. Four years
- B. Three years
- C. Eight years
- D. Six years
Answer: A. Four years
In Ontario, a G1 driver must always be accompanied by a fully licensed driver who has at least four years of driving experience. This requirement ensures that the supervisor has sufficient experience and knowledge to guide and instruct the new driver safely. This rule is a key component of the graduated licensing system designed to promote safe learning.
You are driving on a wet road and have to make a stop quickly. The best way to do this if your vehicle does not have ABS is to:
- A. Press down on the brake pedal, release slightly if wheels are locking up, re-apply
- B. Turn off the ignition and apply the hand brake
- C. Pump the brakes
- D. Roll down the window and signal
Answer: A. Press down on the brake pedal, release slightly if wheels are locking up, re-apply
When making a quick stop on a wet road in a vehicle without ABS, the best technique is to apply firm, steady pressure to the brake pedal. If you feel the wheels begin to lock up (skid), ease off the pedal slightly to regain traction, then re-apply pressure. This 'threshold braking' method helps maintain steering control while maximizing braking effectiveness.
In Ontario, it is illegal to use a hand-held cell phone while driving unless:
- A. You are stopped at a red light
- B. Your vehicle is safely parked off the roadway
- C. You are on a highway with no traffic
- D. You use the phone for less than 30 seconds
Answer: B. Your vehicle is safely parked off the roadway
A hand-held device may only be used when your vehicle is lawfully parked off the roadway.
