WHAT IS GRADUATED LICENSING?

​

In Ontario, the Graduated Licensing System allows new drivers to earn full driving privileges in two stages.

The first stage, G1, new drivers are learning and practicing skills under the supervision of a fully licensed driver.  (A driver who has more than 4 years experience as a G level driver).  New drivers remain at the G1 level for a period of one year or reduce this time to 8 months with the successful completion of a BDE course.

The second stage, G2, drivers have gained more experience and have passed a road test allowing them to drive independently.  Drivers remain in this stage for one year before they are eligible to complete a second road test to earn the full G license.

WHAT DOES THE FINDLEY’S DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM CONSIST OF?

​

Our Driver Education program consists of 20 hours of in-class training, 10 hours of flexible learning and 10 hours of in-car driving lessons.

 

​

​

WHAT IS FLEXIBLE LEARNING?

​

Students will receive a workbook during the first in-class session.  This workbook is to be completed by the student as part of a homework component.  The workbook will reinforce the in-class instruction by allowing students to identify driving situations and teach them to react safely and appropriately.

 

​

​

WILL I BE READY FOR THE G2 ROAD TEST AFTER 10 HOURS OF IN-CAR INSTRUCTION?

​

The 10 hours of In-Car instruction are intended to teach you the skills necessary to operate a vehicle safely.  However, when learning any new skill, practice is very important and necessary.  We strongly recommend that students practice between each of their lessons with a parent or another qualified driver.  It is recommended that all new drivers have approximately 50 hours of practice.  With the 10 hours of in-car training and sufficient practice, you should be ready for the G2 road test.
