Drivers License

[Bopop4]

Yeah, are you allowed to drive a trailer with a learner?
Something like a 20ft double axle.

No, Canada (at least where I live), has straight roads with 90 degree turns and intersections.

Not the Canada I know...

You've found windy roads!? Where?

How old do you have to be to get your license there?
You can get a License in Canada at 16 (but with full license driver in front seat), and if you do drivers training you can get a half-full license at 16 and 8 months. You can drive by yourself but not from 12-5am. My friend (who is an exchange student from Switzerland) said that they have to be 18 to get a license.

Your rules seem pretty lax, good for you I guess!

If I get any points (points are a lot more serious here, hit and run is 7 points, street racing is 6), my insurance will be ridiculously expensive.

Not all of Canada. Not by a long shot. Alberta is 14 (lucky 🤬). And here in BC you can get your Class 7L (learner's) at 16 and you have it for 1 year then you take a test and you can have your Class 7. You have to have a big red L on the back for the 7L and a big green N for the 7. With an "N" you can only have one person who's not a family member and you have to have it for 2 years (or 1.5 if you had lessons with your "L"). I get my N in September, just in time for grade 12. Anyways, don't feel cheated by your Ontario rules. They're pretty good.

Did you even read my post? You CAN drive between midnight and 5AM. Whoever keeps telling you otherwise is dead wrong.

You can drive between midnight and 5AM with your G2, I have mine now. The restriction are as follows:

-For the first 6 months with your G2, between 12AM-5AM you can have one 1 passenger under the age of 19 in the car.
-For the next 6 months, between 12AM-5AM you can have 3 passengers under 19 in the car.
-BAC must be 0 (durr since legal drinking age is 19 anyway)
-Everyone in the vehicle must have a working seatbelt. If they're under 16 and not wearing one, you're in trouble. If they're over 16 and not wearing one, it's their fault.

I have an idea for your future posts. Make sure that you don't just put "in Canada" before something. Put the area your comment applies to:
-Straight roads -- Around Guleph
-About your license -- In Ontario
-The fact that we have provinces -- In Canada
-Lots of people have big SUVs -- In North America

I'm not trying to correct you or anything, this is just meant as a little thing to think about. Enjoy your G2 or whatever though.

so, as in Italy and the rest of europe

BC says you can drive anything that is less than 10 passengers, no more than 2 axels, and no emergency vehicles I think. And you don't need a license for tractors.

All around actually. Lots of the country roads outside of the towns near here are actually quite fun.

Out here there are only a few straight(ish) roads. In the cities, and the highway from Nanaimo to Campbell River.

Not in BC you can't with your L. I've had my N for almost 4 years and have my test for a full license in 2 weeks.

Anything with air brakes requires a separate license here too.

Oops, I was still thinking G1.
