4. Complete All 10 Hours In Car Lessons
You can’t get rid of us that quick!
The completion of the 10 hours in car does not automatically allow for the student to take the G2 test. It is not a requirement of Gear Up but rather a requirement of the Ministry of Transportation that a new driver MUST WAIT 8 MONTHS before testing for their G2. Here at Gear Up we prefer to schedule all in car lessons right up to the date the student becomes eligible to take their test.
