G1 Rules of the Road Practice Test 2024 Ontario

Before moving from a parked position, always signal and check for traffic, pulling out only when it is safe to do so.

Pedestrians who have already begun to cross when the hand signal appears, should go as quickly as possible to a safe area. While they are crossing, pedestrians still have the right-of-way over vehicles.

Call police (provincial or local, depending on where the collision takes place). By law, you must report any collision to the police when there are injuries or damage to vehicles or property exceeding $2,000.

If you don't stop, you can be fined $400 to $2,000 and receive six demerit points for a first offence. If you are convicted a second time within five years, the penalty is a fine of $1,000 to $4,000 and six demerit points.

In general, slower traffic should always stay to the right. And you should always pass a vehicle on a lane to their left, not their right. If you cannot pass without using a right lane, you should remain behind the motorcycle until a lane to the motorcycle's left opens.

A broken line at the left of your lane means you may pass if the way is clear. ('A' may pass if there are enough broken lines ahead to complete the pass safely.)

A yield sign means you must slow down or stop if necessary and yield the right-of-way to traffic in the intersection or on the intersecting road.

Don't panic. Grip the steering wheel firmly. Take your foot off the gas pedal to slow down. Avoid heavy braking. When the vehicle is under control, steer toward the pavement. Be prepared to correct your steering and increase speed when your wheels are fully back on the pavement.

If you refuse to take a drug or alcohol test, or if you are convicted under the Criminal Code for refusing to provide a sample, then you will also face the following penalties under the Highway Traffic Act: automatic licence suspension for 90 days. $550 administrative penalty. $275 licence reinstatement fee.

If you are in an intersection and preparing to make a turn when an emergency vehicle is approaching, you should abandon the turn and clear the intersection by proceeding straight when safe to do so, then pull to the right and stop.

You may not carry any person in any trailer, including a house or boat trailer, when it is being towed.

Level One (Class G1) — Holders may drive Class G vehicles with an accompanying fully licensed driver with at least four years driving experience.

Times of limited visibility are from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise, and any other time of poor light conditions, such as fog, snow or rain, which prevents clear visibility of people or vehicles less than 150 metres away

Unless signs or pavement markings tell you not to, always begin and end a left turn in the far left lane in your direction. To make a left turn, signal well before the turn and move into the far left lane when the way is clear.

A red light means you must stop. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop at the stop line if it is marked on the pavement. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.

You may not drive, under any circumstances, when your licence is suspended.

This is a dangerous thing to do, because you may not give yourself enough room to make a safe stop. Reflective road signs can mislead you as well, making you believe you can see farther than you really can. This may cause you to over-drive your headlights if you are not careful

If you are 19 or younger, between the hours of midnight and 5am: for the first six months of having your Ontario G2 licence, you can carry only one passenger aged 19 or under. After these first six months or if you turn 20, you may carry up to three passengers aged 19 or under.

Never change lanes without giving the proper signal and looking to make sure the move can be made safely.

Here are the steps for making a lane change:

1. Check your mirrors for a space in traffic where you can enter safely.
2. Check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder in the direction of the lane change. Be especially careful to check for bicycles and other small vehicles. Signal that you want to move left or right.
3. Check again to make sure the way is clear and that no one is coming too fast from behind or from two lanes over on a multi-lane road.
4. Steer gradually into the new lane. Do not slow down, maintain the same speed or gently increase it.

Use your low beams when you are less than 60 metres behind another vehicle unless you are passing it. These rules apply to all roads, including divided ones.

A yellow - or amber - light means the red light is about to appear. You must stop if you can do so safely; otherwise, go with caution.

At streetcar stops, stay at least two metres behind the rear doors where passengers are getting off or on. This rule does not apply at stops where an area has been set aside for streetcar passengers.

Stop 2 m behind the rearmost door where passengers are getting on or off and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

• Use your low-beam headlights. High beams reflect off the moisture droplets in the fog, making it harder to see.
• If you have fog lights on your vehicle, use them, in addition to your low beams.

Under Ontario’s zero tolerance law for young, novice and commercial drivers, you cannot have any alcohol in your system if you are:

• age 21 or under
• a driver of any age who holds a G1, G2, M1, or M2 licence

Your licence will be suspended for 60 days.

When your licence is suspended, you will get a letter from the Ministry of Transportation. It will tell you the date your suspension takes effect and that you need to surrender your licence.

If you do not surrender your licence, you can lose your licence for up to two years.

Obey the maximum speed limit posted on signs along the road, but always drive at a speed that will let you stop safely. This means driving below the maximum speed in bad weather, in heavy traffic or in construction zones. School zones and construction zones often have lower speed limits to protect children and those who work on or near the road.

Drivers including cyclists must stop and yield the entire width of the roadway (wait for pedestrians to clear the road) at: pedestrian crossovers

A yield sign means you must slow down or stop if necessary and yield the right-of-way to traffic in the intersection or on the intersecting road. When entering a road from a private road or driveway, you must yield to vehicles on the road and pedestrians on the sidewalk

Cut down glare at night by following the rules of the road for vehicle lights. Use your low-beam headlights within 150 metres of an oncoming vehicle or when following a vehicle within 60 metres.

When approaching a railway crossing at which an electrical or mechanical signal device is warning of the approaching train you must... A/ Stop not less than 5 meters (15 ft.) from the nearest rail.

The stopping-for-school-buses law applies everywhere, regardless of the posted speed limit — on highways, county roads, city, town or village streets.

All motor vehicle drivers and passengers in Ontario must wear a seatbelt that is properly adjusted and securely fastened

You must come to a complete stop for all stop signs and red traffic lights.

Pedestrian signals help pedestrians cross at intersections with traffic lights. The signal for pedestrians to walk is a white walking symbol. A flashing or steady orange hand symbol means pedestrians must not begin to cross.

If someone is following you too closely, change lanes and let the tailgater pass. If a driver still follows you too closely, increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead. This gives you and the tailgater more time to react in an emergency. Then, when the way is clear to pass safely, slow down so the tailgater can pass.
