Increasing the length of time drivers spend at the G1 and G2 levels. Currently, novice drivers can obtain a full G license in as little as 20 months. Under the proposed legislation, the minimum would be 30 months.
- Replacing the current night-time restriction on the number of young passengers a teen G2 driver can carry with an all-day restriction.
- Introducing sanctions that get tougher each time a novice driver violates graduated licensing restrictions, receives a conviction that results in demerit points or a receives a court-ordered suspension. These drivers would receive, upon conviction: first instance - 30-day license suspension; second instance - 90-day license suspension; third instance - the driver must return to the start of the graduated licensing program (G1).

Enforcing zero tolerance for young drinking drivers
Drivers aged 19 to 21 are over-represented in drinking and driving collisions.
Ontario wants to put a stop to this trend by making it illegal for any person aged 21 or under to drive after drinking any alcohol.
Young drivers in all licence classes will be required to have a zero blood alcohol concentration (BAC) whenever they are behind the wheel.
New measures for suspended drivers
An estimated three-quarters of all suspended drivers continue to drive.
The proposed legislation will help get these dangerous drivers off our roads by giving police the power to immediately impound their vehicles for seven days - at the roadside.

Measures for impaired drivers
Drinking and driving is still a factor in about a quarter of all road fatalities every year. To help police get drunk drivers off our roads, the proposed legislation will also allow police to immediately impound for seven days vehicles being driven by convicted impaired drivers who do not have a court-ordered ignition interlock installed
