Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a G2 driver gets a ticket?
G2 drivers face the same fines as G licence holders but have a lower demerit point threshold. At 6 points, you receive a warning letter. At 9 points, your licence is suspended for 60 days. Certain violations also carry additional novice driver penalties.
Can a G1 driver get their licence suspended?
Yes, G1 drivers can have their licence suspended for accumulating 6+ demerit points, violating G1 conditions (like driving at night without a supervisor), or receiving certain serious charges. The suspension restarts your G1 waiting period.
Do G1/G2 tickets affect my ability to get a full G licence?
Certain convictions can delay your progression to a full G licence. Serious convictions may require you to restart the graduated licensing program entirely. Fighting tickets becomes even more important for novice drivers.
How long will this affect my insurance?
A traffic conviction typically affects insurance rates for 3 years from conviction date. Impact varies by insurer and offence. Fighting often costs less than long-term insurance increase.
