Particularly in Illinois, Michigan and Indiana?
as far as I know yes… I am a G2 driver from Hamilton Ontario and I drive in the USA I don’t remember anything about not being able to in driving school, and I’m pretty sure that the only difference between a G2 and a G is your allowed some alcohol (and of course your G2 licence expires after 5 years and you need to do your highway test to get your G.) with a G2 you can drive anywhere you want your a fully licenced driver so I can not see why you wouldn’t be allowed to in the USA … and I have crossed the border into the US driving and as my I.D I gave him my licence so I’m sure if I wasn’t allowed to drive in the US he wouldn’t have let me into the country… so my answer is YES ! G2 is a full licence.
When I took driving school I was told that having a G2 license meant you could drive anywhere in Canada. I never heard anything about being able to drive in the United States. However, I did find out that you may be able to drive in the United States depending on the state you are driving in and their own restrictions.

That’s incorrect. The G2 license is restricted in that you can not drive on 400-series (or is it 401?) divided highways (where there’s a barrier between the two sides) and a few other high-speed roads. (I think there are exceptions, but I forget if a licensed instructor is required, or the same thing required for all G1 driving, which would be someone who’s had a full license for over 5 years)
Perhaps the people informing you, even if they’re official, just aren’t well informed, or the restriction isn’t enforced. (like jay-walking)
This is why I’m curious about the same thing; whether the USA considers a G2 to be insufficient, has more restrictions (sets you back to G1-like status), has equivalent restrictions (high-speed, divided highways), or treats it as a full license.
And keep in mind, even if a cop pulls you over and accepts your G2, it doesn’t mean the law is alright with it. They’re just as prone to temperament and individual personality as anyone else.
Check the drivers book, G2 is the same as G1 except for the alcohol and the limited number of passengers after 12am (only for the first six months). with teh G2 you can drive on any road, highway,etc (even teh 400 series). dont be a tool and post information that will only lower someone’s intelligence by reading it
Actually, you can’t drive on the 400 highways (400, 401, 402, 403, 407, QEW etc) with the G1. You CAN drive on it with the G2, as you MUST have accumulated highway driving time in order to take the g2 Exit. If I’m correct the G2 is just the probationary version of the fully G which allows you do drive after drinking. The G2′s only restrictions are; if you are under the age of 19 you may only have ONE passenger 19 and under from 12am-5am, until you turn 19 OR the first 6 months you have your license. And 2 you must retain a Blood Alcohol Level of ZERO. Otherwise you can drive where ever. It all Depends on state laws if they let you into the USA from Canada with a G2.
That comment is wrong.. a G2 driver can drive on a 400 series highway
AWith an ontario G2 liscense you can drive anywhere in ontario including 400 series, its basically the same as a g, however you can not have any alcohol at all and between the hours of 12-5 you can only have 1 passenger under 19 unless its your immediate family or you are accompanied by a fully liscensed driver with atleast 4 years driving experience;
But for driving in the us im not sure. both my sisters do it, and i plan to, so lets hope its legal lol
