G2 road test lessons
Six short lessons on the skills the G2 road test checks: observation, lane changes, intersections, stops, reversing and parking, and putting it all together on a practice drive.

Before Your G2 Test
2 min readThe G2 test checks whether you can handle everyday driving safely and make decisions without coaching. Your preparation starts before the car moves. A familiar vehicle, working equipment and an unhurried arrival give you more attention for the drive itself.

Observation and Lane Changes
2 min readGood observation gives you time to drive smoothly. The aim is to understand what is happening around the car, then use that information before you brake, turn or move sideways.

Intersections and Turns
3 min readIntersections bring several decisions together: where to stop, who goes first, whether the path is clear and which lane to enter. Start observing early so you can make those decisions one at a time.

Reversing and Parking
2 min readParking combines observation with slow, accurate control. Give yourself enough time to see where the whole car is moving. A useful reference point can help, but it must work for your seat position, your vehicle and the space in front of you.

Stops, Hills and Turnarounds
2 min readThese manoeuvres happen at low speed, but traffic can still approach quickly. Take time to choose a suitable location and check again whenever you change direction.

Put Your G2 Skills Together
2 min readA useful final practice drive connects the skills from the earlier lessons. You should be able to follow directions, notice hazards and decide when to act without someone reminding you about each mirror or signal.
