    If you're wondering what a G1 is, it's this:
    Level One lasts 12 months. The Ministry of Transportation encourages all new drivers to take an approved driver-education course to help learn the proper driving skills and knowledge. You should begin your training as soon as you become a Level One driver so you can get as much driving experience as possible. If you pass an approved course, you can complete Level One in eight months. While at Level One, the following rules apply:
    • You must not drive if you have been drinking alcohol. Your blood-alcohol level must be zero.
    • You must not drive alone; an accompanying driver must sit in the front passenger seat. This is the only person who can be in the front seat with you while you drive. The accompanying driver must have a valid Class G (or higher) licence, at least four years of driving experience and a blood-alcohol level of less than .05 per cent when accompanying you. Time spent at the Class G2 level, as long as the G2 licence was valid (not suspended), does count toward the accompanying driver’s four years of experience. The accompanying driver’s licence may have demerit points, but it cannot be suspended.
    • Each person in the vehicle must have a working seatbelt.
    • You must not drive on 400-series highways with a posted speed limit over 80km/h. Also, you must not drive on certain high-speed roads including the Queen Elizabeth Way, Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway in the Greater Toronto Area, the E.C. Row Expressway in Windsor and the Conestoga Parkway in Kitchener-Waterloo. However, if your accompanying driver is a driving instructor, you may drive on any road.
    • You must not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
    And there you have it, the Ontario MTO G1 information.

    Short answer: Yes, I do drive IRL.

    I have had my driver's license since the end of 2011 way before I even knew about BeamNG, in fact I don't think the first video of it didn't exist yet (correct me if i'm wrong).
    The first car I've really learned to drive in was an experienced dark blue 1989 Oldsmobile 88 with blue interior with the Buick 3800 under the hood. Pretty huge car to start off with, though that car is no longer with us since the transmission on it destroyed itself at 197k miles in the summer of 2012.

    Other cars I've been behind the wheel of through out the years in the family are:
    1995 Buick Century (2.2 4cyl model, very squishy suspension, been scrapped in 2014 due to engine problems and was replaced by the Beretta, that plushy sedan was at 220k miles)
    1993 Ford Explorer (Been in the family since '97 and is still in the yard as a backup car, 4wd doesn't work)
    1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass base model (The only pure rwd and only V8 powered car I've ever driven, though as of now it's getting neglected since dad is getting too old to even keep up with maintenance)
    1995 Chevrolet Beretta (2.2 4cyl just like in the Buick, was for me to drive initially before I gave it to dad when we got a low mileage Oldsmobile)
    1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SL (Current car for me to drive, we had it since 2013.)
    2001 Ford Escape (Probably the fastest car we currently have in acceleration, I've only driven this very briefly and for some reason it's got an 8k rpm tachometer)

    Rented cars I've driven for my two road test attempts:
    White Honda Civic (Probably a 2010)
    Metallic red Nissan Sentra (I think it was also a 2010)
    The reason we had to rent a car for the road test was due to some ridiculous rule of the hand brake placement having to be in the center of the car, and none of the cars we had at the time had a hand brake... instead it was a pedal that's off to the left side known as the parking brake.

    Other cars I got to briefly drive that were not in the family, both of these were just one time experiences:
    Nissan Maxima (forgot what year it was, had an ungodly amount of wheelspin from pressing the pedal too hard after being so used to the slower engine response of the Oldsmobile 88)
    Ford F250 extended cab (largest vehicle I've ever been behind the wheel of)

    I have been driving since forever it seems... well... since 2009. I have an 88 Ford Mustang, 92 Ford Mustang, 81 Chevy K10 (being restored), and 83 Yamaha Seca XJ 650R, 95 Subaru Impreza (just a little 1.8 coupe), and a 76 Corvette Stingray (haven't even started restoring it yet). Yes, I have a bit of a car buying problem, and that is extenuated in the fact that I just struck a deal with a guy on Ebay to buy yet another Corvette!

    What the heck is wrong with me...

    I learned to drive at 13yo in a light blue daewoo matiz. In my life (now I'm 19yo) I drove a brown 2006 Fiat Croma, a 2010 Ford Mondeo SW, a BMW X1 and a Mercedes CLA (all my father's cars).
    I drove my friends toyota Aygo and an Alfa MiTo. I drove a nissan Note and a Fiat Panda too. Actually I drive a red 2008 Peugeot 107, my favourite one ;););).. joking, my REAL favourite is the CLA220:p

    From 16yo to 18yo I had a Peugeot scooter: Jet force c-tech Iceblade with tecnigas exhaust :cool:
