Ontario driving licence
Anyone who wants to get an Ontario driver's licence, and has never held a driver's licence before, needs to obtain the ON G1 Learner's (Beginner's) Licence. You must be 16 years old to get a G1 licence. Once you are 16, visit a Drive Test location and take your written/computerized exam for the Ontario G1 licence with a written knowledge test of 40 multiple-choice questions. The G1 test is divided into two parts: 20 questions on road signs, and 20 questions on rules of the road. You'll need to answer 16 questions in each section correctly to pass the test. In addition to the written exam, you will also need to pass a vision test and pay a $158.25 package fee, which will cover your knowledge test, eventual G2 driver’s test, and your five-year licence. If you need to retake the written exam, it will be an additional $15.75. The Ontario G1 driver’s test is based on the 2023 Ontario Driver’s Handbook and questions from the test will be pulled directly from the guide. Ontario has set in place a graduated driver’s license (GDL) program that takes about two years to complete. After you pass your written test at Drive Test, you must hold your G1 licence for one year, or 8 months if you are enrolled in a driver training program before you may take your first drive test to qualify for a G2 licence. The G1 license will allow you to practice your driving skills under the supervision of a fully licensed driver. Our G1 practice tests use the same scoring system as the Drive Test centres across the province, so there will be no surprises when you go there. Our users have reported that these questions are almost identical to the real ones (although, of course, there’s really no way to know which set of questions you personally will get on the real exam).

Ontario driving licence
If you want to drive a truck in Ontario, you need a commercial truck driver’s licence. There are two types: Class A (full or restricted), or Class D licence. A full Class AZ (with an air brake endorsement) truck licence lets you drive any truck/tractor-trailer combination, a combination of motor vehicle and towed vehicles where the towed vehicles exceed a total gross weight of 4,600 kilograms (10,000 lbs) and has air brakes, or a vehicle pulling double trailers. A Class A licence does not allow you to drive a bus carrying passengers, a motorcycle or a moped. The Class D licence lets you drive a truck with a gross weight or registered gross weight exceeding 11,000 kilograms (24,000 lb) or any truck or combination exceeding 11,000 kilograms (24,000 lb) gross weight or registered gross weight provided the towed vehicle is not over 4,600 kilograms(10,000 lb). If the towed vehicle weighs more, you will need either a full Class A or restricted Class A licence.

To apply for a full Class A licence or a full Class D licence, you must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid Ontario licence other than G1, G2, M, M1 or M2, pass a vision test, submit a valid medical report, pass a knowledge test about operating large trucks and tractor-trailers, complete a mandatory entry level training course, and pass a road test using a vehicle that meets the requirements.

These topics include understanding traffic laws, safe driving practices, basic vehicle operation, handling emergency situations, and more. You'll also learn about the effects of fatigue, distraction and impairment on a driver's ability.

Class A Licence (also known as AZ)

Class A lets you drive a wide range of commercial vehicles, like tractor-trailers or flatbeds. You can haul any size trailer with an A license. The "Z" in "AZ" means you have an air brake endorsement. That means you've proven you know how to use air brakes, which are often used in large, heavy vehicles. Make sure you also complete the "Air Brake Endorsement" section below. The Class A knowledge test covers general trucking knowledge, safety protocols, and large vehicle management, including specifics of handling large trailers.
