What to expect on test day at Chatham
Check in at Chatham 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 Chatham
Keil Drive South is tagged with four lanes at the address. Richmond Street is about 100 m away. Highway 401's nearest mapped point is about 4.3 km southeast. That is a real drive, not an on-ramp at the parking lot, so a G practice plan here should include the trip down to the freeway rather than assuming the highway is beside the office. Keil Drive itself is the road to learn first: lane choice, signalled turns and speed along a wide arterial.
Inside services run Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and road test appointments are listed Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The centre offers G2, full G, motorcycle tests including M2 and M, and commercial classes A through Z. Service is available in French.
- Use Keil Drive South for multi-lane positioning and turns at lights.
- Add Richmond Street for a lower-speed cross street in the same outing.
- For a G, drive to Highway 401 and practise a merge and an exit, then come back on Keil.
- Book a weekday road test; Saturday appointments are not what the hours list shows.
The examiner chooses the streets on the day. Road layout checked on OpenStreetMap. Address, hours and services: DriveTest's centre list.
