In Ontario, if you obtain an M1 license, can you drive a car?

My friend, who drives both car and motorcycle claims that you may drive a car if you were to obtain the M license, even with the M1 as it can be considered to be a G1, I believe those were what he said. he obtained the M license first, but never bothered with the G, yet drives in the car, and he even took me out several times in the car... I asked him for confirmation sometimes, and he said it was positive, but I cannot find solid proof on any Ministry of Transportation websites that indicates so. Is it true or not true? However, when i was reading the motorcycle driving book, it states that you do not require the G license in order to obtain the M license as almost they were both on an equal status. So M license would equal to the same as G? I know in the book it says that I may have a FULL M license in order to claim it as a G1, but as G1, you are limited to so many things, so would you have to take a G2 test and eventually to the point of the full G license? That's a lot of licensing!

1. NO! You cannot. A motorcycle license does not come close to the requirements for driving a car. Check with the M.O.T. and they will confirm that.
2. No - you can't drive the car with class M license. My license, for example, is class GM - and with that you can drive both: car and bike.
