Hello members, my wife and I have been having a hot debate about a novice related driver issue. In the H.T.A. section 5(1) it states; (2) A person is qualified to act as an accompanying driver if he or she, (a) is a fully licensed driver in a Class G motor vehicle; (b) has been licensed in Ontario or another jurisdiction for at least four years; The H.T.A. clearly states; 1) a fully licensed driver in a 'class G vehicle', not a class G license. 2) "licensed" for at least 4 years, (not deemed as a full "G" license) so when the day one is first licensed with a G1, this 4 year term has begun. Is this our correct understanding ? regards
Hello members, my wife and I have been having a hot debate about a novice related driver issue.
In the H.T.A. section 5(1) it states;

(a) is a fully licensed driver in a Class G motor vehicle;
(b) has been licensed in Ontario or another jurisdiction for at least four years;
The H.T.A. clearly states;
1) a fully licensed driver in a 'class G vehicle', not a class G license.
2) "licensed" for at least 4 years, (not deemed as a full "G" license) so when the day one is first licensed with a G1, this 4 year term has begun. Is this our correct understanding ?
It falls under O.Reg 340/94 definiing "accompanying driver." To be fully licenced in a "Class G vehicle," you need a Class G licence (or other some other class, but not G1 or G2). You become "licenced" the moment you get your G1. So the four year clock, in my view, begins the second you get your G1. So someone who got a G1 four years ago today could act as an accompanying driver if he/she has a full G licence now.

A G Licence is actually your FULL Licence in Ontario. G1 is basically learners, G2 is still not FULL its with limitations. G is your FULL Licence in Ontario. And you need to have a Licence for 4 years + and be G Licenced to drive around with a G1 holder.

http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/ ... sses.shtml - IMO this means that you must be with someone that has been a Fully Licensed Driver (G License) with ATLEAST 4+ years of driving experience. Therefore, a G is considered a Fully Licensed Driver. So you would need 4+ years of a G License to drive with someone who has a G1.
"G1 Level 1 of graduated licensing.
Holders may drive Class G vehicles when accompanied by a fully licensed driver with at least four years of driving experience. Additional conditions apply. "

I'm pretty sure the clock starts the moment you get your G1. I have always had a G licence which indicated that I could accompany a G1 driver. In fact, I think this year is the fourth year of my G, but I have licences going back to 2007 that have the red bar under my photo.

Thank you for your responses, truly appreciated. What would the penalties be to the accompanying driver and the driver if the accompanying driver is not a full "G" yet and the driver is still G1 or G2 ? Regards, Dave

The fine for a novice driver driving without a proper accompanying driver is $85. There is no specific charge for being an unqualified accompanying driver, however if the accompanying driver is found to have the requisite amount of control over the situation they may be charged with permitting a novice driver to driver in contravention of their licence conditions (s. 32(11.1)), $240 fine. Also, if you want to know if you are a 4 year driver, check for the 4 dots on your licence. On old licences they were right under the picture, on new licences they are just to the left of the hologram in the bottom right corner.

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
