Tests Available at the Oshawa Drive Test Centre

G2 Licence Test

If you hold a G1 licence, the G2 test at the Oshawa Drive Test Centre focuses on your ability to navigate city and residential streets while respecting local road usage laws. During your test, you will be evaluated on:

• Vehicle control in urban areas
• Changing lanes smoothly
• Safely stopping at intersections
• Yielding right-of-way where required
• Parking, including parallel and angle
• Safe use of turn signals

The G2 test is your chance to show that you have mastered the key techniques needed for day-to-day driving, especially in residential and local urban areas.

G Licence Test

If you’ve completed a minimum of 12 months with your G2 licence, you will be eligible to take your G licence test. The G test focuses largely on advanced driving techniques, including highway driving. During the test, you will be evaluated on:

• Merging onto and off highways
• Adjusting your speed based on traffic flow
• Demonstrating defensive driving techniques
• Safe following distance
• Proper lane changes on highways

The Oshawa area gives drivers access to several highways, including Highway 401, which is a key part of the G test. You will also be asked to demonstrate your ability to drive defensively in mixed traffic.

G2 Retest

If you did not pass your G2 test on a previous try, you can retest at the Oshawa Drive Test Centre. Retaking your G2 test will allow you to refine your skills and move forward towards your G licence.
