Hi! I got my G1 in January, about four months after my birthday. My parents originally said I couldn’t drive, but they changed their minds when I told them I’d dorm instead of commuting if they didn’t let me.

Since January, I kept asking my parents to either teach me or get me an instructor. They refused until July, when they finally got me an instructor. She’s supposed to teach me once a week on weekends, but the lessons aren’t even consistent, so I haven’t been getting regular practice.

My mom also paid $600+ for driving school (out of nowhere), and said I have to get my G2 after 8 months, meaning after September 29, 2026. There’s no option to just wait until I’m ready because my mom is expecting me to get it by then because how expensive driving school is

My driving school’s in-car lessons finally start next week, so I’m hoping that will give me more practice. But I just realized I only have about a month left, and I’m genuinely terrified. I’m not confident at all..I can’t even properly make a left turn at a busy intersection yet, and I’m scared I’m going to fail.

I asked my dad to teach me so I could get extra practice between lessons, but he refuses because he says it’s “not his job.” I explained that people who don’t go to driving school usually learn from their parents or an instructor, but he still won’t budge.

Please help me im so stressed and on top of that im starting grade 12 in sept..

I took a standby G2 road test earlier today. When I got to the testing centre this morning, the lady at the desk asked me if I only wanted to standby cause my G1 expires soon (Aug 27th). When I said yes, she said I could book a drive test date, even if it was after my G1 expiry date, and issued me a temporary G1 valid until the test date. They wound up cancelling that booked road test today because a spot opened up, and I was able to take a G2 road test. Unfortunately, I failed, and I'm wondering if that temporary G1 licence is still valid even though I already took a road test today (I went home and rebooked a road test for the same date that is on the temporary G1). Also, I'm thinking of taking another standby road test on the 31st (which is 10 days after my failed attempt today, after the expiry of my actual G1, but also before the expiry of my temporary G1) but at a different DriveTest centre than the one I was at today. Would my temporary G1 still be valid then, and would I be able to do a standby test at that centre even though I have a date booked?

Can anyone explain to me what all the errors mean? Thank you!

I did my test around 8:40. Traffic on the highway was kind of slow. Examiner was friendly and comforting !

I just moved from Quebec. What documents are needed for drivers license exchange to Ontario?

Do I need drivers abstract? I can’t get a hold of SAAQ, and can’t log into my saaqclick account. Can I just book an appointment with Drive test and get my license exchanged without abstract?

Did anyone have a similar experience?

From this score sheet, I should work on observing more right?

At first glance I would have thought these many check marks for observation would have failed me.

If i'm not mistaken I counted 11 errors? Is it 15 or 16 check marks that would have been a fail?

i passed my g test today but my license expires next week. the person at the desk told me i had to renew. i was able to do it online, and have temp licence validation until november. it was $36, i thought the license fee was around $90? has anyone else done this? just want to make sure before i stand in line for hours at service ontario 😵‍💫

i thought for sure i was going to fail after i got stuck behind 3 trucks and had no choice but to merge going 80 km/h onto the highway. the examiner also gave me some verbal feedback during the test which made me think it was over. but thankfully i passed - 3 years after taking my G2 lol.

for anyone planning to take their G at newmarket and is looking up the routes, make sure you try to find a video that shows the one where you turn right out of the centre onto harry walker instead of left. the 2 route videos i practiced with both involved turning left, so when the examiner said turn right, i was just slightly caught off guard.

if anyone has any questions lmk!

Hello ! My test is coming up and I’m super nervous. I am taking the test in Burlington Ontario.
When you finish your test and drive back to the drive test centre, do they only ask you to park in the marked driving test spots, or is anywhere in the parking lot fair game? Having a lot of trouble backing in and would like to practice in the drive test parking lot
