Know Your Rights

The show welcomes back Safety Expert Cam Woolley for this week's discussion on the varying driver designations in Ontario. G1 class drivers (learners permit) attain this by taking a written test and must be accompanied by a G licensed driver who has had their G designation for 4 or more years. G2 drivers can drive by themself but are not allowed to drive at certain times. G driver designation is your full license with one exception: you are not allowed to have any alcohol in your system until the age of 22.

That's right - the team has come together again to discuss e-scooters. The laws are tricky regarding where you can ride your e-scooter.

Safety Expert, Cam Woolley, tells us what to watch out for; could be anything from a missing charger cable to missing VIN on the vehicle itself.
