Bancroft DriveTest Centre

What to expect on test day at Bancroft

Check in at Bancroft DriveTest Centre at least 30 minutes before your appointment. The examiner checks the lights, signals, horn, brakes and tires before the drive.

G2: a city drive, with directions from the examiner. The G2 test-day guide lists the tasks, and booking steps are separate.

Full G: full-time centres still use DriveTest's modified test, aimed at major roads and highway driving where the network allows (format checked September 2026). Read the G test-day guide and DriveTest's road-test page.

Roads around Bancroft

Hastings Street North is the main north-south road through Bancroft, and OpenStreetMap tags it Highway 62 at the centre. Highway 28, on Sherbourne Street, is about 600 m south, and it continues through town on Monck Street and Bridge Street. No freeway shows up in the 6 km around the pin, so a full G booked here is practised on those two provincial highways and the town streets that join them, not on a 400-series freeway.

The listed hours are 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on those three weekdays, with the office closed over lunch and closed Thursday through Sunday. The same listing includes G2, full G, motorcycle (M2 and M) and commercial classes A through Z. Barry's Bay is served as a travel point from this centre on dates DriveTest publishes separately.

• Drive Hastings Street North in both directions and practise speed changes as the limit drops entering town.
• Use the Highway 28 blocks on Sherbourne, Monck and Bridge for turns onto a provincial highway.
• Book only Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, and avoid the 1:00 to 2:00 pm closure.
• Add a reversing and parking session on a quiet side street before a G2, since the G2 still includes that work.

The examiner chooses the streets on the day. Road layout checked November 9, 2026 on OpenStreetMap. Address, hours and services: DriveTest's centre list.
