What each test covers
Your first road test, driven entirely on ordinary roads. Expect residential and commercial streets, and to be assessed on the everyday things that are easy to get sloppy about once you are nervous.
- —Turns, stops and right-of-way at intersections
- —Lane changes and shoulder checks
- —Parking and reversing manoeuvres
- —Speed control and following distance
The full-licence test. Everything the G2 covered, plus the part that catches people out: driving at highway speed with traffic around you.
- —Merging onto a highway from an on-ramp
- —Lane changes at speed, in traffic
- —Exiting and adjusting back to city speeds
- —Everything assessed in the G2, again
What to bring
The examiner checks the car before you drive anywhere. A vehicle that fails that check ends the appointment — and the slot is gone. This is the most avoidable way to lose a date you waited months for.
On the day
- —Practise on the roads around the centre itself. Examiners use a small set of routes, and familiarity removes a whole category of hesitation.
- —Make your observations visible. Checking a mirror counts for nothing if the examiner cannot tell you did — move your head.
- —Signal every turn and every lane change, including the ones that feel obvious.
- —Come to a genuine, complete stop at stop signs. Rolling through is one of the most commonly recorded faults.
- —Drive to the posted limit. Well under it reads as a lack of confidence and is marked accordingly.
- —If you make a mistake, keep driving calmly. A single error rarely fails you; unravelling afterwards often does.
The test is written against the Ministry's own handbook. We link to the official copy rather than hosting our own, so you are always reading the current version.
Open the MTO Driver's Handbook →A significant share of road tests are unsuccessful, and Ontario requires a ten-day wait before you can try again. If that happens, restarting the search takes one tap from your dashboard — we book the first slot past the ten-day mark that falls inside your window, and your retake price is shown before you pay.
Ready when your date is.
