On Tuesday, Nov. 18 the Ontario government proposed new restrictions for the graduated licensing system that was first introduced in 1994. Here are some of the major changes:
• Teen drivers would be restricted from carrying more than one passenger aged 19 and younger for the first year of their G2 with exceptions for family members. Right now this only applies for the first six months.
• Zero Blood Alcohol Concentration level for all drivers under the age of 21. Right now this only applies to G1 and G2 licence holders.
• Escalating penalties for repeat offences of G1/G2/M1/M2 restrictions within a five-year period. First offence equals a 30-day licence suspension, second offence a 90-day suspension, and at the third offence the licence would be taken away, causing the driver to begin the licensing process from the beginning.
• The length of time spent at each licensing level would be raised, for G1 and G2, from 12 months to 18 months.
