At what age can you apply for a G1 license in Ontario?

In Ontario, you can apply for a G1 license at the age of 16. This is the first step in the graduated licensing system, which is designed to help new drivers gain the necessary experience and skills before obtaining a full driver's license. The G1 license allows you to drive with certain restrictions, including the requirement to have a fully licensed driver accompanying you in the vehicle. This age requirement reflects a balance of ensuring that new drivers are mature enough to handle the responsibilities of driving while also allowing them to begin their journey toward full licensing as early as possible.
