Ontario uses a graduated driver’s licence (GDL) program. Exams are administered at your local DriveTest Centre, and you’ll need to complete an eye exam while you’re there before you may get your G1 licence. The written knowledge exam to get your G1 licence in Ontario is based on the 2024 Driver's Handbook. The fee for your test will cover the written exam as well as your drive test to get a G2 licence, though you have to pay an extra $15.75 if you need to retake the knowledge test. You must answer a minimum of 16 questions in each section correctly to pass the written knowledge test. Your G1 test will cost $158.25 and be comprised of 40 multiple-choice questions, which are divided into two separate sections: rules of the road and road signs.
