The Risks of Using Personal or Borrowed Vehicles

Many people consider using their own car or borrowing one from a friend for their road test. However, this approach can have significant drawbacks and risks:

• Insurance Gaps: Most personal car insurance policies do not extend coverage to other drivers. If you're involved in an accident, you and the car owner could be held financially responsible.
• Legal Liability: If your friend's car is involved in a collision during your test, they could face increased insurance premiums, lawsuits, and other penalties.
• Rideshare Restrictions: Vehicles like Uber, taxis, and other rideshare cars have commercial insurance policies that typically do not cover personal use, including road tests.

These risks can have lasting financial and legal consequences. Protect yourself and your loved ones by choosing a fully insured rental car from Driviology Driving School.

Legal Liabilities and Insurance Considerations

Understanding the legal implications of renting or using a vehicle for your road test is crucial. Here's what you need to know:

• G1 and International Licences: Once you obtain a G1 licence in Ontario, your international driving licence becomes invalid. This is because the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) does not allow drivers to hold two valid licences at the same time. Your G1 licence supersedes the international licence, meaning it can no longer be used for driving or renting a vehicle in Ontario.
• Attempting to rent or drive with an international licence after obtaining a G1 can lead to legal consequences, as it is considered a violation of Ontario's driving laws. Furthermore, insurance coverage on a rental car will be void if the driver is found using an invalid licence.
• Rental Car Restrictions: Most rental car companies do not allow individuals with G1 licences to rent vehicles. If you manage to rent a car and get into an accident, you could face severe legal and financial repercussions.
• Commercial Insurance Exclusions: Rideshare vehicles and taxis have specific insurance policies that do not cover road tests or personal use.

It's important to understand these legal requirements to avoid unnecessary fines or penalties. Driviology Driving School ensures compliance by providing fully insured vehicles for G1 holders and beyond.
