Preparing for Your Test at Oakville Drive Test Centre

G2 Test Prep

Oakville’s roads offer many areas for focused practice:

• Urban Driving
  Ensure you’re comfortable navigating busy intersections on Dundas Street or Lakeshore Road. Use proper signal timing when making left or right turns in heavy traffic.
• Residential Areas
  Oakville’s residential streets, especially west of Bronte Road, are ideal for practising cautious driving through neighbourhoods. Make sure you’re adhering to stop signs and speed limits of 50 km/h or less.
• Parking
  You may be tested on both parallel and angle parking skills at Oakville. Practice these manoeuvres in parking lots like the Oakville Place Shopping Centre.

G Test Prep

For the G test, prioritize your ability to safely manage high-speed traffic and avoid common mistakes like improper following distances or last-minute lane changes.

• Highway Driving
  Oakville’s proximity to the QEW and Highway 403 means you’ll likely face several kilometres of highway driving during your exam. Be confident in entering and exiting highways safely, while maintaining appropriate speed.
• Merging
  Practise merging onto highways like the QEW during varying traffic conditions. Use caution to gauge the speed of other drivers and adapt to different situations.
• Defensive Driving
  Expect a mix of heavy traffic near key intersections, such as along Upper Middle Road. Stay alert for aggressive drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists while you maintain safe distances from other vehicles.

Practical Tips for Passing at Oakville

   Trafalgar Road or Dundas Street can face unexpected delays. Allow extra time on the day of your test.
2. Learn the parking situation.
   Oakville’s Drive Test Centre has adequate parking, but its proximity to commercial areas might increase traffic in nearby areas. Arrive early.
