What to expect on your Ontario road test

Ontario’s road tests are given at DriveTest Centres. In smaller communities, they’re given at Travel Points, part-time test locations open only on scheduled days. New drivers take two road tests: the G2 test (leaving G1) and the G test (leaving G2). You have five years to finish the whole process.

Licensing stages

  1. G1, at least 12 months (8 months if you pass an approved driver education course).
    • Zero blood alcohol.
    • An accompanying driver must sit in the front passenger seat, and they must be the only person in the front. They need a full Class G (or higher) licence, at least four years’ driving experience, and a blood alcohol level under .05.
    • Everyone in the car needs a working seat belt.
    • No driving on 400-series highways with a posted limit over 80 km/h, and no driving between midnight and 5 a.m.
  2. G2, at least 12 months, after passing the G2 test. You can drive alone. If you’re 19 or under, passenger limits apply between midnight and 5 a.m.:
    • first six months: one passenger aged 19 or under
    • after that, until you get your full G licence or turn 20: up to three
    • neither limit applies if a fully licensed driver is in the front seat, or if your passengers are immediate family
  3. Full G, after passing the G test.

What each test covers

  • G2 test: basic skills such as left and right turns, stops, intersections, traffic lights, and stop and yield signs.
  • G test: more advanced skills, including expressway driving: merging on and off, keeping speed and space, and signalling. Before the G test, you sign a Declaration of Highway Driving Experience about your freeway or 80+ km/h highway driving in the last three months. If you don’t have enough, the test is cancelled and you lose 50% of the prepaid fee.
  • For now, at full-time centres, the G test leaves out parallel parking, roadside stops, three-point turns and residential driving, which are already covered in the G2 test. Travel Points still give the standard G test.

Booking

Book, cancel or reschedule online, by phone or at any DriveTest Centre. You’ll need your licence number (with expiry date) and your preferred location, date and time. You must prepay the road test fee to book. Cancel at least 48 hours ahead to avoid a cancellation fee.

On test day

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment.
  • Your vehicle must be fit, in proper working condition, plated and insured.
  • G1 drivers: an accompanying driver must come with you.
  • G2 drivers: plan another way home in case you don’t pass.
  • In the car: no passengers or pets. Driving instructors, friends, relatives and translators can’t come along.
  • The briefing: the examiner tells you how long the test will take and explains it. Ask your questions before you start, because they can’t coach you once you’re driving.
  • Driving aids: automatic parallel parking, lane monitoring, cruise control and backup cameras can’t be used.

If you don’t pass

You can retake the test as long as your G1 hasn’t expired. If it has, you have to start over and pay the test fees again. If your G2 is about to expire, you can retake the G2 road test and get another five years as a G2 driver.
