10 Essential Tips for Passing the Ontario G Road Test Checklist
Preparing for the Ontario G road test checklist can be both exciting and nerve-racking. This test represents your final step in the graduated licensing system. Passing it means you earn your full Class G driver’s licence, which comes with no restrictions and full driving privileges. At Azan Driving School, we are committed to helping you succeed. This guide provides a clear, practical Ontario G road test checklist of everything you need to know before, during, and after your test.
Understanding the G Road Test
The G road test evaluates your ability to drive safely in real-world conditions. It is more comprehensive than the G2 test, focusing on highway driving, merging into traffic, maintaining spacing and speed, and making safe decisions under varying traffic conditions. The test typically takes around 30 minutes and is conducted on public roads. For more details, visit Drive Test: drivetest.ca.
Before Your Test: Preparation Checklist
Before booking your G road test, you must have held your G2 licence for at least 12 months. This ensures you have accumulated enough driving experience to demonstrate safe, confident driving. Bring your valid G2 licence, proper identification, and any appointment paperwork on test day. At Azan Driving School, we recommend practicing all highway and city driving skills extensively before booking your test.
Declare Highway Driving Experience
A portion of the G test takes place on highways. You will need to declare your highway driving experience over the past three months. Having sufficient highway experience is crucial for a smooth test experience. Our instructors at Azan Driving School can guide you through highway practice sessions to build confidence.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Your vehicle must be safe and fully operational. Check that all lights, brakes, mirrors, and tires are in proper condition. The examiner performs a safety check before the test begins, and an unsafe vehicle can lead to cancellation. Azan Driving School encourages students to perform a full vehicle check prior to test day. For official vehicle requirements.
What the Examiner Will Watch For
The examiner will assess your driving based on everyday safe driving skills. You will be evaluated on highway and expressway driving, including merging on and off highways safely, maintaining proper speed relative to traffic, keeping safe spacing, and performing lane changes with correct signaling and observation. Proper execution of left and right turns, maintaining lane discipline, and observing intersection rules are essential. Urban driving skills are also important, including smooth driving on city streets, adapting to traffic conditions, and awareness of pedestrians and cyclists. Certain maneuvers, such as parallel parking, three-point turns, roadside stops, and residential driving, are currently not included at many locations as these are already assessed during the G2 test course.

Day of the Test
Arrive early to relax and mentally prepare. Drive as you normally would: smooth, observant, and attentive to road signs and rules. Avoid unnecessary risks and always signal your intentions. Azan Driving School emphasizes staying calm and confident on test day, as nervousness can impact performance.
After the Test
If you pass, you will receive a temporary licence until your official G licence arrives. If you do not pass, use the examiner’s feedback to improve for your next attempt. Azan Driving School provides follow-up lessons and practice tips to ensure success on a second attempt if necessary.
