About the G1 Practice Test (Ontario)
The G1 is the first stage of Ontario's graduated licensing system, run by ServiceOntario and the Ministry of Transportation. Passing the G1 written knowledge test, an eye test, and paying the package fee earns you a learner's licence - the licence you need before you can take a road test for the G2 or full G class.
The G1 knowledge test is sourced directly from the Official MTO Driver's Handbook. Questions cover road signs, rules of the road, safe driving practices, and the rules specific to Ontario's graduated licensing programme. Practising with realistic multiple-choice questions is the fastest way to feel comfortable with the test format before your appointment at a DriveTest centre.
What this practice test covers
- Road signs (regulatory, warning, information, school zone)
- Rules of the road and right-of-way
- Safe driving techniques: following distance, scanning, hazard perception
- Speed limits, passing, and lane-change rules
- G1 licence restrictions and the graduated licensing programme
- Demerit point system and impaired driving laws
