Updated Rules for Teen Drivers in 2025 – What Parents Must Know

Introduction:

With the new licensing updates in 2025, teenage drivers in Canada now face revised rules around supervised driving, curfews, and smartphone usage. Parents must understand these changes to help their teens stay safe and compliant.

Key Points:

  1. Stricter Supervision Requirements:
    Teens must now log a minimum of 60 hours of supervised driving—up from 40 hours—including 10 hours of night-time driving. Parents or guardians must verify these hours via digital logs or approved apps listed on platforms like licenseprep.ca.

  2. Mandatory Technology Usage Limits:
    In 2025, all G1 and G2 teen drivers must disable mobile phone notifications while driving. Enforcement has tightened, and infractions now carry harsher penalties. Parents are encouraged to install apps that ensure compliance.

  3. Updated Night-time Driving Curfews:
    Teen drivers with G2 licenses can no longer drive between midnight and 5 AM unless accompanied by a fully licensed adult. This rule aims to curb late-night accidents, which are statistically higher among new drivers.

  4. Enhanced Parental Accountability:
    Parents are now partially accountable if their teen violates license restrictions under their supervision. Awareness programs and downloadable checklists for parents are now available through resources like licenseprep.ca.

  5. Insurance Incentives for Compliance:
    Teens who maintain a clean driving record for 12 months post-licensing may be eligible for insurance rebates. Families are encouraged to enrol in recognized safety programs to qualify.
