Can I teach my wife driving?

Need help to clarify the requirement of accompanying drive under highway act ontario.
It says: "You must drive with an accompanying driver, who has to be a fully licensed driver with at least four years of experience and a blood alcohol level of less than .05,"

Does "four years of experience" mean post G experience or post G2 experience
I am G license holder, I got my G1 in Apr 2006, and G2 in Nov 2007, so can I teach my wife from this Nov on?

Please send her to a driving school.

Teaching your wife driving can be very hazardous to your marriage. This is not a joke.

You can. "experience" starts from the date you pass your G1 (written test).
Just make sure to follow the usual license restrictions (ie: no highway driving for G1, etc)

Nothing good will come out of you teaching her.

It's hard for me to sit as a passenger with people who has their licenses. I would imagine that experience to be 100x worse.

This is wrong info.

My son waited 9 months before taking G2 and another 13 months for G. So a total of 22 months from G1 when he got G.

His G has zero black dot on it.

thats because you only receive the 'dots' after 4 years (48 months - not 22 months) when you renew/replace your license.
i should also mention that you either have 0 dot or 4 dots. you do not get one dot per year of experience.

im currently a qualified driver with 4+ years of 'experience' (confirmed with MTO), but my drivers license does not show the dots because i dont get it until i get a new license (ie: when i renew). and if i get pulled over by a cop, they will see that im qualified when they scan my license.

As others have said, DO NOT teach your wife to drive. My father taught my mother to drive almost 40 years ago and they still argue over it. If you value your marriage, don't do it.

I thought it's 4 years of "G experience"?
