A check before you buy
DriveTestRoutes.com’s Ontario page says the G2 road test includes an expressway section and a highway driving declaration. Ontario’s new drivers page puts highway driving on the G road test, and the handbook’s road test chapter puts the highway declaration before the G test’s expressway section. The handbook calls the G test the “Level Two (G2) road test”, an easy name to mix up. The two tests side by side.
Who should pick DriveTestRoutes.com
- You learn an area by driving it, and want a set route near your centre to practise on.
- You’re testing at a busy centre in a city you don’t know.
- You’d rather spend $14.99 than risk a $53.75 G2 retest (or $91.25 for the G).
- You’re testing in one of the other provinces it covers.
Who should pick the free route
- You already drive around your centre, or can: any street nearby is practice.
- You want to know what’s marked rather than where you’ll drive. The G2 checklist and G checklist are the examiner’s list in plain words.
- You want someone to watch you drive. A lesson or two with an instructor tells you what a route can’t.
