I don't THINK SO, you have to pass a stringent test with the MTO and not Ralph's Driving School. I stand to be corrected, but I think that is true. When I passed my test, one block was the standard for a driver's exam and 2 blocks for a Charffer's Licence, never passed in spelling. I have been driving now for 68 years and have one AT FAULHT accident, did a stupid thing, as luck would have it, nobody was hurt. OH WELL!!! Oh by the way my payload was 76,500lbs and counting the weight of the truck, was over 125,000lbs.
