What to expect on test day at Hawkesbury
Check in at Hawkesbury DriveTest Centre in Hawkesbury Mall 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 Hawkesbury
County Road 17 is about 500 m from the mall. That is a county road, not a freeway and not Highway 417. Highway 34, on McGill Street, is about 600 m west. A roundabout where Cartier Boulevard meets Cécile Boulevard is mapped about 700 m away, which is a concrete G2 skill to rehearse: entry signal, lane choice, and yielding to traffic already in the circle. No freeway appears within 6 km.
DriveTest's hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week, the first and third Tuesday of the month, and the second and fourth Thursday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. G2, full G, motorcycle and commercial tests are listed. Read the week of your appointment off the centre list rather than assuming a normal Monday-to-Friday office.
- Practise the Cartier Boulevard and Cécile Boulevard roundabout until the yield feels calm.
- Drive Highway 34 on McGill Street for a provincial-highway speed change.
- Use County Road 17 as an arterial session on its own.
- Match your booking to the rotating day list, including which Tuesday or Thursday of the month it is.
The examiner chooses the streets on the day. Road layout checked on OpenStreetMap. Address, hours and services: DriveTest's centre list.
