What is the blood alcohol limit for a G1 driver in Ontario?
Zero, no alcohol at all
G1 drivers must have a blood-alcohol level of zero. You must not drive after consuming any alcohol. Every driver aged 21 and under must also keep a zero level, regardless of licence class.
Why the other answers are wrong
-
Less than 0.05%
That number belongs to the person beside you. Your accompanying driver must stay under 0.05% while they supervise. Your own level at the wheel must be zero.
-
Less than 0.08%
0.08 is the limit used in the Criminal Code for drivers in general, and it is not your limit. Every driver at Level One or Level Two must be at zero, whatever their age.
-
The same limit as a fully licensed driver
Novice drivers are held to a stricter standard than full G holders. On top of that, any driver aged 21 or under must be at zero, whatever licence they hold.
Quick way to remember
New drivers are held to the strictest possible standard here.
Based on the official Ontario MTO Driver's Handbook.
