the whole test is about observation; the more you look around the better. |
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. |

When you go to the highway it is VERY VERY important that you accelerate up to 100 right away; |
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 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 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. |

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. |
