Can my friend drive my car Ontario?

Can you drive a truck on a car licence?
The reality, of course, is that getting your truck licence is not easy, nor should it be, but what if you want, or genuinely need, something truck sized, or just a small truck, because the work you do requires something more capacious than a giant one-tonne ute?

Can a person drive my car without my permission?
It can be written, verbal, or implied permission, but that permission must be granted.

Usually, yes — your car insurance coverage should extend to anyone else driving your car. Think of it this way: the car insurance typically follows the car, not the driver.

Who can be in the car with a permit driver?
