When the traffic light is red, you must stop; then proceed only when the signal turns green and when the way is clear.
You may not carry any person in any trailer (including a house or boat trailer) when it is being towed. (Page 143 of MTO Driver's Handbook).
Please pay attention to how long a teenage driver has had the license: if s/he is in his/her first six months, which is the case in this question, s/he is only allowed to carry 1 passenger aged 19 or under. After s/he has been a G2 driver for more than 6 months, the limitation is extended to 3 passengers aged 19 or under.
By law, you must report any collision to the police when there are injuries or damage to vehicles or property exceeding $2,000.
At an intersection where there is a flashing amber (yellow) traffic light, you must slow down and proceed with caution.
A safe following distance is at least two seconds behind the vehicle you are following. This lets you see around the vehicle ahead and gives you enough distance to stop suddenly. To estimate the time, wait until the rear end of the vehicle in front of you passes any distinct and fixed point on the roadway (e.g. a road sign, mailbox, line/crack/patch in the road). However, don't take your eyes off the vehicle for more than a second or that would defeat the purpose. As you count to yourself the elapsed time in seconds, the front of your car should pass the same point no less than two seconds later. If the elapsed time is less than this, increase the distance, then repeat the method again until the time is at least 2 seconds.
Your headlights' range shows an approximate distance that you should keep from the vehicle in front of you. If the vehicle you are following gets into your headlights, it means you are too close and you cannot stop within a safe distance if need be.
When drivers enter a highway, they are expected to follow several guidelines to ensure safe and efficient merging with traffic.
Stay at least two meters behind the rear doors where passengers are getting off or on. This rule does NOT apply at stops where an area has been set aside for streetcar passengers or there is a safety island. Always pass these areas at a reasonable speed and be prepared for pedestrians to make sudden or unexpected moves.
When a green arrow is shown with a red light, you need to proceed immediately in the direction of the arrow if you are in the correct lane.
Do not park within 3 meters of a fire hydrant, on or within 100 meters of a bridge, or within 6 meters of a public entrance to a hotel, theatre, or public hall when it is open to the public.
The requirement for switching on the lights of a vehicle by law can vary depending on the country and local regulations.
As a level one (G1) driver, you must be accompanied by a class G or higher licensed driver, who has driving experience of more than 4 years.
Although very rare (only 5% of accidents are caused by brake failure), it is still crucial to know what to do should brake failure occur. 1) If you are driving a car with a manual transmission, downshift as quickly as you can without losing control of the car. Don't shift into first or second gear too suddenly;wait until the car has slowed somewhat. If you are in a car with an automatic transmission, shift down one gear at the time. The first of the low gears is usually labeled "1." 2) Apply a mild pumping action to the brake pedal to build up some pressure, allowing you to stop in a safe manner (do this even if you do have ABS brakes). 3) Apply the parking brake gently but firmly. Apply this brake gradually to avoid locking your wheels.
he High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on provincial highways are designed to encourage carpooling and reduce congestion by providing priority access to vehicles with multiple occupants. The specific rules and eligibility criteria for using HOV lanes can vary depending on the province or state. However, the most common requirement for vehicles to use HOV lanes is to have at least two occupants in the vehicle. This means that the driver and at least one passenger must be present in the vehicle to use the HOV lane.
As a level one or two driver, if you collect nine or more points during a two-year period, your licence will be suspended for 60 days and you must surrender it to the Ministry of Transportation. You can lose your licence for up to two years if you fail to surrender it.
A safe following distance is at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. This lets you see around the vehicle ahead and gives you enough distance to stop suddenly.
If police stop you for driving 50 km/h or more over the speed limit, you will be charged with street racing. Police will suspend your license on the spot and impound your vehicle for 7 days. If convicted for the first time, you will face penalties that include: $2,000 to $10,000 fine; jail term of up to 6 months; licence suspension up to 2 years or 6 demerit points.
Cellular phones can be an important safety aid for drivers, but using a cellular phone while driving takes a driver’s attention away from the task of driving and increases the risk of collision.
When a driver approaches a traffic signal with a red light and intends to continue straight through the intersection, they must first come to a complete stop. The driver should stop their vehicle behind the stop line or crosswalk if one is present, or before the intersection if there is no marked stop line.
After coming to a complete stop, the driver must wait for the traffic signal to change to green. Once the light changes to green, the driver should check that the intersection is clear of any vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstacles before proceeding through the intersection. It's essential to ensure that it is safe to proceed before moving forward.
