Tips on the (G) Road Test
This is the second of two road tests you take as a new driver.
- You can take the test after 12 months with a G2 license (some exceptions apply).
- It can be booked online; the fee is $91.25 (as of January 2023) and can be paid with a credit card
- The test covers more advanced driving skills e.g., Good observation skills, driving on the Thunder Bay Expressway and Harbour Expressway, obeying posted speed limits in downtown and residential traffic, Safe lane changing at different speeds, and various parking skills such as a 3-point turn, parallel parking and a roadside stop.
- Once you pass, you get a full G license.

G TEST TIP:
When taking the G Road Test (Expressway Test), you will be required to declare your driving experience to ensure that you have sufficient expressway driving experience in order to proceed with the road test.
You have to declare how many times in the three months before the road test you have driven on a 400-series highway and/or on a highway with a speed limit of at least 80 km/hr.
You must have driven at least 5 times on a highway with a speed limit of at least 80 km/hr. and /or a 400 series highway. You are also required to indicate the average length of these trips (i.e., under 5 km, between 5 and 15 km, or over 15 km).
The 400-series highways include 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 409, 410, 416, 417, 420, and 427, Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW), Don Valley Parkway (DVP), Gardiner Expressway, E. C. Row Expressway, and the Conestoga Parkway.
Ensure that you have the required highway driving experience prior to your road test appointment, or your appointment will be canceled, and you will lose 50% of your road test fee. Go for your Gest test well before your license expires (5 years).
If your driver’s license is about to expire and you are taking the G test and don't pass, you will go back to a G1 license.
