What time is a G1 novice driver prohibited from driving?

A G1 novice driver, typically a new driver in Ontario, is subject to specific restrictions designed to ensure safety while gaining driving experience. One critical restriction is the prohibition on driving during late night hours. According to established regulations, G1 novice drivers are not allowed to drive between midnight and 5 AM. This limitation is in place to reduce the risk of accidents during hours when visibility is low and when more experienced drivers might be less likely to be on the road.

This specific timing ensures that novice drivers are not driving during times when the likelihood of encountering challenging driving conditions—such as reduced visibility, fatigue, and potentially more dangerous road situations—are heightened. The focus on nighttime driving restrictions for novice drivers emphasizes the need for safety and experience accumulation during less risky driving hours.
