Class (AR) Restricted License Course
About the Class A Restricted (AR) License
The Class A/R license is meant for drivers looking to operate/tow smaller truck-trailer combinations (e.g. a pick-up truck pulling a recreational, landscaping, horse, or utility trailer). In 2008, Ontario acknowledged that many RVs, horse trailer haulers, and other vehicles were towing trailers exceeding the 4,600 kg weight limit, which required a Class A license to remain compliant.
However, some Ontario License Offices were unable to administer road tests with these smaller combinations and insisted on using a tractor-trailer setup, which was often impractical. As a result, Ontario introduced the Restricted A license. This license allows individuals to take the road test using their own equipment, enabling them to tow vehicles over 4,600 kg.
This course is designed to prepare you to meet Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) standards, ensuring you are ready for both the road test and the responsibilities of handling restricted Class A vehicles safely and confidently.
