Holy Crap...how young (or new to this country) are you?

Not a criticism, just surprised....and if you're a young guy, WTF are you doing on here? Don't you know this is a board for perverted old fucks like me??:D

Not everyone gets their license when they turn 16. Friend of mine is 40 and he's never had one.

I got my G1 and I want to go do the test for my G2. But the question is, Is there a such thing as a Road Test Fee?

Looking at the link I hope you went to an licensed school. Without one you have to wait a year before you do your G1 Exit test (G2 Test). If the driving school you went to is recognized you only have to wait 8 months then.

Moraff is correct, the road test is $75. However, you already pre-paid this amount when you first went for your G1 test. If you fail, then you pay another $75 to take the road test again.

Some advice for highway experience if you don`t have any already. Go up and down the 400 on a weekend to get use to the speed, or during the week against rush-hour traffic.

LMAO...awwww not all of you are old...;)

Speaking of getting your G1 I need to get one myself! And I am 23 ughh I've been holding it off for so long...but am planning on doing it by the end of this year! (Still reading the book)
 
I'm glad this thread is here....i HAD my full G but my license expired on my birthday almost one month ago now. I never really cared when i lived in Toronto because i never drove but now that i've moved i want to drive again. Is it just a matter of going into the ministry and paying to renew or do i actually have to take a road or written test? I know that i can probably look it up but just thought i'd ask and get a quick answer instead of waiting on hold or something.

Thanks :-)

I'm almost a 100% certain you have to start again from the written. When I first had my G1 it expired before I took/passed the G1 exit test(1st road test). Eventually I had to redo the written test. However, since I already had my G1 before for more than a year, I did not have to wait another year before I was allowed to do the G1 exit test.

Are you sure? The way I read it is that you pay $125 initially which covers Knowledge test ($10), G1 Road Test ($40), and 5-year license ($75). Then when you go for the G2 Road Test it would be another $75.

I freely admit I could be wrong as I'm just going by the web site. I got my license over 20 years ago when there wasn't any graduating licensing.

In regards to a Novice Driver's license (G1, G2 and the like) you are correct. Those licenses are not renewable so if you don't progress to the next level in time, you do have to start over, but if it is less than 3 years since expiry the time lines become less (as you mentioned).

But the question was in regards to a full G license renewal. In this case, according to:

http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/renewal.htm

"You can renew an expired driver's licence, without taking tests, within one year of the licence expiry date."

As Hightop posted.

However if you decide not to do so within 3 years you will have to start all over again but with out the time spans.
had mine suspended waited to long.... had to start over G1 next day G2, 4 months later G
 
A few years ago, my SO was renewing her passport and pulled out her DL to get the number to put on the application. It was then she noticed that her licence had expired almost a year prior. (She received no notice to this effect btw) Since her licence was expired, I drove her to the Ministry office, waited in the car for her while she got processed and was out within 1/2 hour (15 min in line) with no extra charges, just renewed it with no problem.

Had to go to a larger facility to get it done, but it was done.

So in the end, she got a year of free driving, though she would have been up shit's creek if she were pulled over.
