I was wondering, can I enter the US with just a G2? I want to do some shopping but I heard that you can't enter the US unless you have your full G license, can anyone confirm? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

we went to buffalo 2 years ago and my buddy that was driving had his g2 and we got in
i dunno if they changed it thou

rjngo

i think you can...i don't think they would look into your driving, more like your citizen id or some paper. but don't take my word...

you only have a g2?

Turbo4U

i went last year with my G2, and had no problem's, as long as you show your citizenship, or birth cirtificate

Tego

Yeah I only have my g2, I'm 19....lol...I should get before summer though, hopefully.

imported_Simich

Yes.

A Passport is the best form of ID to have anywhere. I'd suggest getting one.

i went with my bf about 3 months ago and we got over the boarder fine with g2s.

imported_hdave

a few years ago i only had a G2 and i drove past the border into the states, im pretty sure the rule is the same

oh and get a g

You can go on any highway at anytime of day and this includes US with G2. You can even drive there with G1, but obviously need a passenger with full G and some experience (i think it was 4 years or something) so your licensing won't bother you.

I always have birth certificate and drivers license and expired passport ready. Even expired passport works but I do plan on getting it updated. Saves alot of hassle travelling.

Oh and Freddy, don't forget medical insurance. TD and CIBC offer it, its like $30 for a few days and thats a million coverage. OHIP will not do **** in the US, so make sure you cover your *** with some form of medical insurance.

Being 19 is no excuse... I got my G when I was 17.

Ya, if you want to then you can for sure because there isn't a very long wait. When I booked my G2 it was months after the time I booked it that there was an available time to do the test. But for the G, I booked my test last Saturday evening online (Feb. 11th) and then I got my test for 10:10am the upcoming Monday morning (13th).
(and I passed first try )

Class G1
New drivers of passenger vehicles learn to drive with six important conditions with a G1 licence. A new driver must hold a G1 licence for a minimum of 12 months before attempting the G1 road test. This time can be reduced to eight months if you successfully complete an approved driver education course. Drivers earn more privileges after passing their G1 road test.

As a G1 driver, you are required to:

maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving;
be accompanied by a fully licensed driver, who has at least four years driving experience, and a blood alcohol level of less than .05 per cent, in case he/she needs to take over the wheel;
ensure the accompanying driver is the only other person in the front seat;
ensure the number of passengers in the vehicle is limited to the number of working seat belts;
refrain from driving on Ontario's "400-series" highways or on high speed expressways such as the Queen Elizabeth Way, Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, E.C. Row Expressway and the Conestoga Parkway;
refrain from driving between midnight and 5:00 a.m.
Note: If your accompanying driver is a driving instructor licensed in Ontario, you may drive on any road.


Class G2
New drivers must hold a G2 licence for a minimum of 12 months before they can attempt the G2 road test. At this level, you have more privileges because of your driving experience. You may drive without an accompanying driver on all Ontario roads anytime. However, you are still required to:

maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving;
ensure the number of passengers in the vehicle is limited to the number of working seat belts.
Our Graduated Licensing System has been a resounding success in reducing death and injury among novice drivers. Ontario research shows that new teenage drivers are almost three times more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious collision when they are carrying teenage passengers. In fact, research shows the more teenage passengers, the higher the risk.

To further protect youth on our roads, effective September 1, 2005:

The number of young passengers that teen G2 drivers can carry will be limited from midnight to 5 a.m.
Initially, G2 drivers 19 or under can carry only one passenger aged 19 or under.
After the first six months, and until the G2 driver earns a full G licence or turns 20, they can carry only three passengers aged 19 or under.
These restrictions will not apply if the G2 driver is accompanied by a full "G" licensed driver (with at least four years driving experience) in the front seat, or if the passengers are immediate family members.

Thirty-one jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S. have some form of teenage passenger restrictions in effect.

boosted_gsr

yes you can, I went to new york last year... with only my g2!...

now i got my "G"

RajunCajun

Yeah, you should be clear. I drove to Michigan 15-20 times over the past few years while I still had my g2, never a problem. At least until I brought my buddies for a party and one who happened to be asian didn't bring any ID at all, nor his wallet. Held up at the border for close to 2 hours. We almost killed him. But really you should be fine.

Younes Si

yes you can, just bring more then one piece of identification

imported_kungfugrip

how the hell did u get ur G when ur 17? ur allowed to get ur G1 when ur 16.. then wait 8months - 1 year in order to take your GI exit test to get ur G2 then u gotta wait again to take ur G.. full of **** you are

imported_gatherer

it's easy to get your G when your still 17... 16 months to take all the exit tests if you get your G1 on your 16th Birthday then you will have your G2 at 16yearsold and 8 months (provided you take the driver training) and your G at 17years old and 4 months

of course I took my time getting my license
