What types of vehicles can a G1 driver's license drive?

G1 driver's license can drive large and medium-sized tractors, tractor-modified transport vehicles, and small steering wheel tractors. The restrictions of a G1 driver's license are: 1. Every person in the vehicle must wear a seat belt; 2. The blood alcohol content must be zero while driving; 3. Driving is not allowed between midnight 12:00 and 5:00 AM, and the driver cannot drive alone. There must be a supervising driver in the front passenger seat, who must hold a G license with 4 or more years of driving experience. A driver's license, also known as a 'driving permit,' is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive. It is usually a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I'm very clear about what vehicles a G1 license allows you to drive. Basically, it permits operating regular passenger vehicles like sedans, small SUVs, and light pickup trucks, but only under the supervision of a fully licensed G driver. The supervising driver must sit in the front passenger seat to provide guidance, and you're absolutely not allowed to drive between midnight and 5 AM or on highways unless accompanied by a licensed driving instructor. When I first got my G1 license in my younger days, I could only practice driving my dad's old car to commute to work, which felt quite reasonable since beginners are prone to making mistakes - safety comes first. The G1 license doesn't cover motorcycles, large trucks, or trailers, which require additional certifications. My advice is to stick with familiar family vehicles to get comfortable with handling, avoid anything too complicated, and aim to pass the G2 test soon to enjoy fewer restrictions - that's more practical.
I just got my G1 driver's license less than two months ago and I'm super excited! Mainly, I can drive standard cars or small trucks, but the rules are quite strict. There must be a licensed G driver supervising from the passenger seat, no late-night cruising during prohibited hours like midnight, and no highway driving to avoid accidents. I understand it's for safety, so I'm practicing on suburban roads daily with my parents in their small car, aiming to pass the G2 test soon for more freedom. With a G1, I can't ride motorcycles or operate large commercial vehicles, so it's just for small cars, but it's fun to go for rides with friends and hone my driving skills. Always remember to check the car's condition, like brake lights, to prevent mishaps—new drivers should take it slow.
