When Can I Get My G2 After Getting My G1?

The G1 test allows you to gain independence and get one step closer to obtaining your driver's license. Once you pass your G2, you can drive without supervision and obtain your own insurance.

If you've succeeded in passing the G1 test, let's look at when you can get your G2.

How Soon Can You Get Your G2 Test After Your G1?

The waiting period between your G1 and your G2 is one year. This timeframe can be shortened to 8 months if you undergo the Driver's Ed Course.

Let's look at the available options for G2 preparation.

1. Enroll in Driver's Education.

Many people who pass their G1 test sincerely wish for a way to reduce the waiting time for their G2 test.

This is achievable. If you enroll in a Driver's Ed course, you can combine classroom instruction with driving practice. This course reduces your waiting time by 30%.

2. Immediately seque to road lessons.

A large number of drivers prefer to begin directly with road lessons. How many classroom hours you need depends on your skill and confidence.

3. Practice with an experienced family member.

If someone in your family has a full G-class license and at least 4 full years of driving experience in Canada, they are qualified to supervise your driving.

The Importance of Waiting between G1 and G2

While the waiting period between the G1 license and the G2 license can be slightly reduced with training, it's important that you do not try to progress to the next level too quickly.

The one year transition period is meant for you to become acquainted with driving regulations, road signs, and real-life driving situations while under direct supervision from an experienced driver. This time will give you an opportunity to gain experience, confidence, and gain a responsible attitude.

From a safety perspective, the obligatory waiting period ensures you are adequately prepared to respond to road hazards like adverse weather conditions, congested traffic, bikers, and pedestrians.

You can apply for your G2 one year after you pass your G1 and make the transition from a supervised to an independent driver. Adherence to the waiting period and placing importance on preparedness and safety are the pillars to your success.
