A Restricted

This course does not require to be registered under the PCC Act, 2005 In 2008 Ontario recognized, that many RV’s, horse trailer haulers and others were pulling trailers over the limit of 4,600 kg and were required to get a Class A license in order to stay legal.  Some Ontario License Offices were unable to give the road test using these smaller type combinations and insisted on a Tractor Trailer combination which was impractical.  So Ontario introduced a Restricted A license.  This allows motorists to do the road test using their existing equipment.  With this license you can pull a vehicle over the weight of 4,600 kg but you may NOT:

• Drive full size tractor-trailers
• Drive a motor vehicle pulling double trailers
• Drive a motor vehicle pulling a trailer with air-brakes. (You must have an air brake endorsement first).
• Drivers with the “R” restrictive condition will not be allowed to give driver instruction to another person on a vehicle requiring full Class A privileges.

All Class A requirements are still applicable such as medicals to obtain a Restricted Class A license. What can you drive with this class of license? You may tow a vehicle over 4,600 kg such as larger RV’s, horse trailers etc. You may also drive a tow vehicle over 11,000 kg. You cannot double tow!
