Driving License

To get a driver’s license in Ontario, you must be at least 16 years of age. Graduated licensing was introduced in Ontario in April 1994. In order to get your driver’s license, you must go through three stages.

In the first stage, you obtain a Driver’s Handbook, which is available at any book store, convenience store, MTO office and also at various other locations such as Canadian Tire. Then, on or after your 16th birthday and once you have studied the handbook, you can go to the DriveTest centre nearest to you and write a theoretical G1 exam. You must bring $160.00 and 2 pieces of ID with you. You will also be required to pass a vision test. Once you pass the knowledge and vision examinations, you will be given a G1 license and you will be eligible to do a practical road test one year from that date. The G1 license is essentially your learner’s permit.

Under a G1 class license, many conditions apply which are designed to help you gain experience before you can do your on-road examination. These restrictions are discussed below, and are also covered in the drivers handbook.

  • Anytime you are behind the wheel, you must be accompanied by a driver who has at least 4 years of full G class driving experience.
  • You are prohibited from driving between the hours of 12:00 AM and 5:00 AM (i.e. midnight to five).
  • You are prohibited from driving on any highways with posted speed limits of 80 km or above, including any of the 400 series highways, unless you are accompanied by a licensed driving instructor.
  • You must maintain a blood alcohol level of 0.00% at all times.
  • You must not have more passengers in your car than there are working seat belts.

After getting the G1 license, you are eligible to reduce the one-year waiting period for your first road test (G1 exit test) if you attend an approved driving school such as ID Driving School. When you complete the full Ministry Approved Beginner Driver Education Course requirements, your certification will be processed allowing you to book your road test as early as 8 months after your G1 was issued instead of waiting a full year.

Once you have passed the first road test at the end of 8 or 12 months, you are given a G2 license. There are some conditions with a G2 class license, but far fewer when compared with G1 conditions. These restrictions are discussed below and are also covered in the driver’s handbook.

  • You must maintain a blood alcohol level of 0.00% at all times.
  • You must not have more passengers in your car than there are working seat belts.
  • If you are 19 or under, you can carry only one passenger of 19 or below between the hours of 12:00 AM and 5:00AM (midnight to five).
  • If you are 20 and above or have a license for more than six months, you can carry up to three passengers of 19 or below between the hours of 12:00 AM and 5:00AM (midnight to five).

The final phase of the graduated licensing system is the freeway driving examination to obtain a full G class license. G2 class license holders are eligible for the freeway examination (G2 exit test) one year after the G2 license issue date. It is currently not possible to reduce this one year waiting period. The freeway examination must be completed within 5 years from the issue date of the G1 license, otherwise the license will expire.

Defensive Driving Theory Course Outline

An overview of the subjects taught in our MTO-approved beginner driver education course’s theory section is provided below:

Introduction & Basics

Numerous widespread misunderstandings about typical traffic conditions and driving in general are addressed in this section. Students should understand the fundamentals of the Smith System of Defensive Driving and all relevant facts about obtaining a learner’s license after finishing this introductory session.

Road Signs, Lines and Traffic Controls

To acquaint students with the various sign categories, there will be a brief video presentation, a discussion of each specific sign, and an explanation of the forms and colors of the signs on the road. Additionally covered are the repercussions of disobeying certain traffic signs.

Safety Devices

A talk about airbags, kid seats, seat belts, and other safety devices that, when regularly utilized, can save lives.

The Smith System

When it comes to defensive driving education programs, the Smith System is the industry standard. The “Five Keys to Space Cushion Driving” are what make it up. This training addresses how to improve driver perception to make driving safer, how to maintain space around your car to avoid “traffic roulette,” what constitutes safe driving, how to develop excellent observational habits, and how to improve driver visibility.

Students gain knowledge of hazard recognition, perception, and risk management. They also examine how to control hazards so that they no longer pose a risk to them while driving.

City Driving

Discussed are merging and lane changes, right of way, uncontrolled intersections, pedestrian hazards, buses, parking, signaling, traffic congestion, traffic tempo, one-way streets and traffic patterns. Additionally, many other dangers of city driving are investigated and discussed by the students.

Driving with Fuel Efficiency: In the interests of environmental awareness, a discussion regarding methods of driving economically and areas in which students can improve their efficiency as it relates to their tires, brakes, fuel and wearable moving parts.

Impaired Driving

The impact of drugs and alcohol on a driver’s ability to make decisions and respond quickly, as well as the obligations of drivers to other road users. Videos and an honest, open conversation on these weighty subjects are included. The ways that emotions like stress, rage, and exhaustion might affect one’s ability to drive have also been found.

Avoiding Collisions

Lecture and discussion on collision avoidance techniques and the skills necessary to avoid putting yourself into a position where you are in danger of a collision. Students learn to be pro-active in their driving and to practice the See-Think- Do methods which keep them out of trouble in the first place.

Driver Attitudes

Students discover how their attitudes towards driving develop through outside influences such as peer pressure, advertising, etc; and discuss ways to have a better driving attitude.

Adverse Driving Conditions

Extreme weather, road conditions, night driving and other situations are discussed as students learn ways to drive more safely and effectively in them. We also discuss ways to deal with emergency situations as they occur while driving.

Freeway and Highway Driving

Techniques for safely entering and leaving motorways and roads are covered. This section discusses the usage of HOV lanes.

Road Test

being ready and having faith in oneself for the government’s road test. We go over every need needed to succeed the first time.
This is just a quick synopsis of some of the life-saving lessons we cover in our Defensive Driving and Ministry Approved Beginner Driver Education courses.

Emergency Maneuver Package

At All Star Driving School, we take pride in giving our pupils the highest caliber on-road instruction possible. We provide an emergency maneuver package in addition to the normal 10-hour Ministry-approved beginner driver education course to guarantee their safety while driving. Other than Young Drivers of Canada, our school is the only one that provides its pupils with this choice. Two full hours of instruction are included in the bundle, covering the following maneuvers:

Gravel Shoulder Recovery

If the vehicle slides onto a gravel shoulder, the student needs to learn how to recover and maneuver it.

Head On Avoidance

Similar to the previous maneuver, however this time the pupils learn how to dodge a car that is merging into their lane from the opposite lane. By doing so, the pupil will be able to stop and steer clear of a head-on accident.

Rear Crash Avoidance

Students receive instruction on how to react appropriately in the event that a car approaches them from behind. The importance of hand-over-hand steering and being conscious of one’s blind zones is emphasized.

Avoidance Swerving

Students are instructed on how to react appropriately when an object suddenly falls into their path at 40 km/h. The importance of correct steering and keeping one’s eyes forward—always considering one’s own space on the road and destination—is emphasized.

Threshold Braking/ ABS Emergency Stop

The goal of the process is to have the student apply the best braking technique without locking up the brakes as quickly as feasible. Refraining from locking the brakes will stop the car from sliding and accelerate its stopping power.

With this maneuver student are still using the threshold braking technique, But you are now approaching the object pylons as at faster speed (60 km/h) and will not able to stop in time , therefore to avoid hitting object you must pick and escape route of the time (Left or Right ) and swerve.

all of our sessions with a competent, trained teacher. The majority of the instruction will take place in a parking lot with pylons acting as barriers in the path of oncoming traffic. Gravel shoulder recovery will only cross the road when it is safe to do so. The package includes all of the above-mentioned basic techniques and costs $200 + HST.

We emphasize that learning these methods could help students become more cautious and safe drivers, so it may be worth investing the extra time and money. To improve our ability to assist you, all costs associated with this package must be paid in advance. Please sign your name and fill in the bottom section. Students under the age of eighteen should have a parent or legal guardian sign here as well. Check the box below if you think you would enjoy this emergency maneuver kit.
