Drive in Ontario
Welcome to Ontario! Here’s what you need to know if you are, or will be, visiting Ontario — and want to drive while you’re here.
Visiting: less than 3 months
If you are visiting Ontario for less than 3 months and want to drive while you’re here, you can use a valid driver’s licence from your own province, state or country.
Visiting: more than 3 months
If you will be visiting from another country for more than 3 months, you will need an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) from your own country. This is a special licence that allows motorists to drive internationally when accompanied by a valid driver’s licence from their country. You need to have this permit with you when you arrive in Ontario. You cannot apply for one once you are here.
Rules of the road
As a visitor, you are responsible for knowing Ontario traffic laws. Here are just some:
· keep to the right of the road
· obey posted speed limits (e.g. 50 km/hour)
· do not use handheld devices while driving (e.g. cell phones, tablets or music players)
· slow down and pull to the right, if an emergency vehicle is driving behind you with their lights and sirens (警报器) on (e.g. an ambulance, fire truck or police car)
If you break a traffic law, you will face a penalty (处罚). Penalties range from fines to making your licence invalid or your car taken away.
