Drivers test!!

I have a question about the full G test.
When i go to register for a full G test on Monday do i have to have proof of insurance. Yes im taking my car. And yes i have insurance..i just dont know where the proof of it is

driving on G might be quite sketchy and no insurance will help you

LOL

Ok seriously ,does any one know?

1. Call and ask, not like you need to tell them your name.

2. Go to your insurance company, I'm sure they can get you another copy quickly and easily.

Yes.

They will issue you a TEMPORARY 30 Day one. Simple as that. Will take then a moment or two only to print out for you.

And then they'll have new perm ones mailed to you.

When I took my G test..they did not ask to see any proof of insurance. For any of my driving tests I was not asked to provide proof..

Hell, i don't even know where it would be..i guess somewhere in the glove compartment...but as far as I know, they don't request to see proof.

I cant get a printout since its friday night and they dont work weekends.
My test is at 9 am monday so i doubt ill get it then.



Damn procrastination sux.



P.S my license expires on tuesday so if i dont get in ,I gotta start all over again.

Actually, yeah, now that I reflect on it, I was never asked by my driving person for the vehicle insurance.

I doubt you'll be asked.

Same here. I've taken the G2 exit text to get my full G license about 3 times, passed on the 3rd time, never had to show insurance once.

There's nothing in there about insurance. I don't think you need it for the test, and I definitely don't remember my tester asking to see it. But if you're still worried, call them.

P.S. Nice work waiting until the last minute. You know that most people fail the G2 exit test the first time, right? You might not be completely hosed, though - I think you can schedule one test for after your license expires, as long as you make the booking beforehand and can schedule it within a reasonable time. Of course, you'd still be driving with an expired license during the days in between...

P.P.S. Driving without proof of insurance can get you into almost as much trouble as driving without insurance, should you get pulled over. Hurry up and get on it.

I won't fail!!!


Bah who am i kidding, ill prolly show up high..

the whole test is about observation; the more you look around the better, check your blind spot on every action you do. When you go to the highway it is VERY VERY important that you accelerate up to 100 right away; before you change lanes from ramp onto actual highway, start right after you coming out of the ramp turn DON'T take you time, just do it. Cover your brake when you pass intersection with lights. When you pass intersection turn your head left then right, but when you pass crosswalk its the other way around (cover you break too).

I took a "practice run" with a driving school before I went for my G, and that was the number one thing they told me, scan, scan, scan. Look left, centre, right. You'll do fine, unless you're a horrible driver. I NEVER parallel park, EVER, so when the Drive Test person told me to parallel park, I froze, I almost hit a car, and then the second time she told me to try it, I hit the curb. She still passed me though. Just scan and don't speed and check your blind spots, and signal!! You'll do fine if you do all those things correctly. Good Luck!!

Oh, and I wasn`t asked for my insurance either.

Hah, it was kind of ironic on my test, I always get frustrated on the on-ramps because people in front of me won't speed the f*ck up, I have never merged slower than 100 unless the traffic itself was slower. And on my test, I ended up behind a truck on the on-ramp, and lo and behold the asshole coasted halfway across the ramp and decided to start merging at 60.

You're basically screwed in that situation. Either you also merge at 60 behind the jerk, or you have to speed up to 120+ to get ahead of him and merge before the end of the ramp. Lose-lose. I'm not sure which choice they deduct more points for, but either way I still passed.

It isn't hard to pass that test if you're a good driver, but let's face it, most people in this province aren't good drivers.

And yeah, they can't fail you for screwing up a parallel park - as long as you don't also screw up a bunch of other things.

Final G test is all about defensive driving.. pretend you are quarterback and you are continuously scanning for the blitz.

Driveways, mall entrances, parked cars. people behind you. as well, make your head movements obvious, if they can't tell you've looked, they'll assume you didn't look.

The process of getting your license in Canada is soo much different from getting your license in the states.

You get your permit (test involved), either go to drivers-ed (through a school) or to a driving school where they will give you lessons, take your 5-hour test, then apply to take your road test. Once you pass your road test, that's it, you have your license, period.

Everything that they don't teach you, you learn on your own when your comfortable and ready. I personally didn't drive on the highway for a good three months after I got my license.

I'm not saying that Canadians are bad drivers, but for fuck sakes you guys do like to tailgate on the highway. There is no safety in proximity on the highway.

I was coming up to Toronto one weekend, and I hit traffic in Mississauga. At one point the guy in front of me came to a hard stop, so I stopped, the guy behind me stopped, the guy behind him, BANG, right into the back of him.

Does it matter if you bring your car or pay a driving instructor (sp)?

I heard that its better if you get an instructor car.

It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you are a good driver.

Who decides if you are a good driver?

I would guess that its because we're not racists, but i could be wrong.

Don't see how hard this is to understand lol.

Show up for your apt with any car you want.
Drive well.
Pass the test.
End of story.

By the sounds of it though, you won't pass if you think all this prep stuff is the hard part.
