G1 Demerit Points Practice Test & Questions

Ontario uses a graduated licensing system, which is designed to help new drivers gain experience and skills gradually. To obtain a G1 licence, you must be 16 or older, pass a vision test that requires a specific peripheral field of 120 horizontal degrees and 15 vertical degrees—a strict biometric barrier separate from the standard 20/50 acuity test, provide identification documents, pay the application fees, and pass a 40-question written knowledge exam. With a G1 licence, which you can study for using our G1 demerit points practice test, you are allowed to drive under the supervision of a fully licensed driver with at least 4 years of experience. During this time, you should gain behind-the-wheel experience while following several restrictions. You are not allowed to drive between midnight and 5 AM, and 400-series highways with a posted speed limit of over 80 km/h are also off-limits unless you are supervised by a certified driving instructor. You must also maintain a zero blood alcohol level at all times. Do not assume a mathematically clean driving record means your licence is safe; novice escalation sanctions function independently of the point system, meaning a single “0-demerit” condition breach (like driving unaccompanied) triggers an immediate 30-day suspension.

The G1 knowledge test consists of two parts. You must answer 20 questions on traffic signs and 20 questions on the rules of the road. You’re allowed to miss up to 4 questions in each section, leaving little room for error. Aspiring drivers use the official Ontario driver’s handbook as the main reference during their learning phase. However, there are other tools that can significantly boost your learning potential when used regularly. Unlike our other practice tests, this special G1 Fines, Limits and Demerit Points Practice Test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions focusing on what can happen if you run afoul of the law. For your convenience, we have omitted any timer from this practice test. Please avoid rushing and only select an answer when you’re confident in your choice. If you make a mistake, we’ll point it out as soon as it occurs, so you don’t have to wait until the test ends to know where you went wrong.

Personalized answers to your individual questions will make it easier for you to understand Ontario’s complex demerit point system. Luck alone won’t help you pass the G1 knowledge test. As you begin your learning phase, you should dedicate several weeks to mastering driving theory. Adopt a systematic approach and practise regularly with our practice tests, including our G1 Fines, Limits and Demerit Points Practice Test. Becoming a safe and responsible driver in Ontario takes time and effort, but you can achieve any goal with preparation and determination.
