In Ontario, you have to ensure that your G-license preparation is top-notch before you sit behind the wheel to give your test. Once you are done with the training, you have to pass this test to be completely done with the 20-month licensing process. G test is the second of the two road tests which amateur drivers must clear. After passing G2 road test, drivers can have access to full class G driving benefits to be able to drive a car in Ontario, you should be at least 16 years of age. For visitors, they also must be 16 years old and an additional requirement is that they must have a valid license from their home country as well. However, if you are planning to visit the country for more than 3 months, you need to have an international driving permit from your home country as well.
The process of licensing starts with the G1 test, which acts as the first license which any driver can obtain. Although, after obtaining the G1 license, drivers can drive but with certain restrictions. Another condition associated with getting the G1 license is that drivers have to pass G2 in a period of 4 years. So, after initially driving for 8 or 12 months, drivers can book the G2 test; after clearing the first road test, drivers can operate without any other driver who has already cleared G2. But this is again subject to certain terms and policies.

After clearing G2, drivers can book for a full class G test, after practicing for 12 months. Once drivers clear G test, they can drive any vehicle, this includes small trucks as well (with certain weight restrictions). Based on the instructions issued by the Government of Ontario, drivers must pass 2 road tests in order to become fully licensed. This involves clearing G1, G2 and G tests.
Drivers must at least score an 80% to pass this test. However, a serious infarction can lead to immediate failure.
The price for booking and taking the G test in Ontario is $91.25, this includes tax as well. However, if you fail, you have to pay the fees again to book a new test. Once you’ve gotten 12 months of experience with G2 license, you would have to spend $91.25 for the road test. You can book the road test and choose an authenticated testing center near you.
A crucial element to pass the road test is to ensure that you are well-rested, relaxed and confident. Confidence is the key in this case, if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you as well and you will make mistakes out of nervousness and anxiety. Another key to success is that your vehicle should be in good shape, i.e., the lights, signals and other components of the car should be fully functional. If the car isn’t in good shape, your driving examiner may cancel the road test. This may happen as well if you have a flat tire. You have to be sure to have all the required documents with you to avoid any surprises.
The examiner will surely test advanced driving skills rather than testing you on simple turns and minutely difficult situations. Before the test, you will be asked by your examiner to declare your prior experience. So, it is important that you have spent enough time on the road before your test. Make sure that you are fully comfortable in your seat and are sitting in an upright position. You should also keep a safe distance from other cars to avoid any hazardous situation. Ensure you’re able to clearly hear your examiner, but use the open window for an audible reinforcement of what’s going on in your driving environment – perhaps listening for incoming cars as you parallel park, or incoming pedestrians as you back into a roadway.
Only book your test after you have spent ample time on the road with a driving instructor. Prior practice plays a crucial role in the preparation of your G license test. This includes driving on highways, driving at night and driving at certain speeds. During a road test, the driver’s skills will be put to use and evaluated. Road test elements may include parallel parking and reversing, being ready for hazardous conditions, passing vehicles, including bicycles, safe driving practices, and more. Enroll in a good driving school to polish your skills. In a city like Ottawa, there are countless options available that have different scheduling options, varied costs etc. You can pick the school of your choice based on your preferences.
You can easily obtain the handbook from ministry of transport’s office. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of all the important skills and information that you will be tested on during your test.
