G2What to Expect on the G2 Road TestThe G2 road test is a roughly 20-minute city drive where a DriveTest examiner scores basic skills: turns, stops, lane changes, intersections, traffic lights and signs, residential driving, parallel parking and a three-point turn. You check in, the examiner inspects your car, you drive the route they give you, and you get a verbal summary at the end.G1G1 Test Format: What's on Ontario's G1 Knowledge TestThe G1 knowledge test is a multiple-choice test on Ontario's road rules and traffic signs, split into two or three sections, and you need a total score of at least 80% to pass. It isn't timed, it's offered in 32 languages, and DriveTest marks it on the spot.Full GWhat to expect on the G road testThe G road test is an advanced test of about 30 minutes that includes driving on major roads and expressways. Full-time DriveTest Centres currently give a modified test without parallel parking, roadside stops, 3-point turns or residential driving, while part-time Travel Points still give the standard G road test.G2G2 Automatic Fails and Common MistakesDriveTest says an examiner may stop or refuse to start a G2 road test if your vehicle isn't in good working order, you show signs of impairment, or your driving isn't good enough to finish the test safely. DriveTest doesn't publish a list of individual "automatic fail" moves, so the safest approach is to master the actions the examiner scores on every task.OntarioWhen did Ontario introduce graduated licensing?Ontario introduced graduated licensing in April 1994 for new car and motorcycle drivers. A full G still takes at least 20 months: 12 months at G1, or 8 with an approved BDE course, then 12 months at G2.Full GHighway driving on the G road testThe G road test includes driving on major roads and expressways, so you need to enter, merge, change lanes, keep a safe speed and gap, and exit smoothly. Before the test you must also declare at least five highway trips from the last three months, or your appointment is cancelled.
