NEW RULES FOR TEENAGE G2 DRIVERS - Effective September 1, 2005 |
|
These new rules apply between midnight from 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. If you are a teenage driver:
In the 6 months after receiving your G2 license, you are allowed to carry only one passenger aged 19 and under.
After 6 months with your G2 license and until you obtain your full G license or turn 20, you are allowed to carry up to three passengers aged 19 and under.
Exemptions: These restrictions do not apply if you are accompanied by a fully-licensed driver (with at least four years of driving experience) in the front seat or if your passengers are members of your immediate family.
The G2 Road Test
You can attempt your G driving test a minimum of 12 months after your G2 road test. The G test, if you pass, gives you full driving privileges.
You'll be tested on your defensive driving skills with a government examiner for 30 minutes behind-the-wheel. |

Ninety percent of a driver's reaction depends on vision, and vision is severely limited at night. Depth perception, color recognition, and peripheral vision are compromised after sundown. Older drivers have even greater difficulties driving at night.
Another factor adding danger to night driving is fatigue. Drowsiness makes driving more difficult by dulling concentration and slowing reaction time.
