Questions / Licensing and G1
Answer first · reviewed August 2026
How long do I have to wait from G2 to G?
You normally need at least 12 months of Level Two experience before attempting the full G road test.
Make it practical
What to do
Use the year to develop genuine highway experience, independent decision-making and consistent observation. Keep track of your licence expiry date while you practise.
Easy to miss
The common trap
Waiting until the final weeks to try highway merging for the first time.
Turn knowledge into a habit
How to practise it
Put the official requirement into a simple timeline, including eligibility, waiting periods and your expiry date. Administrative surprises are rarely educational.
