Tests Available at the Peterborough Drive Test Centre

G2 Licence Test

If you hold a G1 licence, your next step is to take the G2 road test. In the G2 test, you’ll be assessed on fundamental driving skills in both city and suburban settings, including:

• Lane changes
• Proper use of intersections
• Driving through residential areas
• Basic parking skills
• Adherence to traffic signs and signals

Peterborough’s varied driving conditions, including one-way streets and standard intersections, help prepare drivers for real-world situations. Before booking, you can check more about the G2 road test to ensure you're fully prepared.

G Licence Test

When you’re ready to get your full G licence, the Peterborough Drive Test Centre offers a suitable environment for advanced road testing. In the G test, you’ll be evaluated on more complex driving skills, such as:

• Merging onto highways
• Maintaining safe following distances
• Reacting to various road conditions
• Defensive driving techniques
• Lane discipline on faster roads

Peterborough’s proximity to Highway 115 is ideal for practising highway driving and should be a focus in your G test preparations. For more on what you need to know, visit our page on driving test bookings in Ontario.

G2 Retest

If you haven’t passed your G2 test on your first try, it’s not the end of the road. You can book a retest at the Peterborough Drive Test Centre and build on your existing driving skills.

Prepare for Your Test at the Peterborough Drive Test Centre

Proper preparation is the key to passing your G2 or G road test. Peterborough provides both the space and conditions necessary to help you practise efficiently.

G2 Test Preparation

For the G2 test, you need to demonstrate control over your vehicle in various conditions typical of both city and suburban driving. Here are things to keep in mind:

• Intersections and Right of Way: Peterborough features both controlled and uncontrolled intersections. Practise observing traffic rules and yielding the right of way.
• Lane Changes: You will likely need to change lanes in both simple and more crowded situations.
• Parking: Practise parallel and reverse parking in designated parking spots. These skills are often tested.
• Speed Control: Peterborough’s speed limits vary widely between city streets and rural roads. Being familiar with the speed transitions can help avoid making mistakes during the test.

Keep in mind that practising defensively at stop signs and crosswalks can help you develop safe habits the examiner will be looking for. For more tips, feel free to check our FAQs on test preparation.

G Test Preparation

If you are preparing for your G test, Peterborough offers ideal conditions for you to practise the advanced driving skills you’ll be assessed on. This includes:

• Highway Driving: Make use of nearby roads such as Highway 115. Master entering, exiting, and maintaining speed on highways. Ensure you know how to use acceleration and deceleration lanes.
• Defensive Driving: Pay attention to how you manage interchanges, busy streets, and roundabouts.
• Lane Discipline: Proper lane changes and safe merging are crucial skills for the G test. Peterborough’s selection of multi-lane roads will offer you a chance to regularly practise these skills.

Final Tips Before the Test

Here are some final practical tips to consider:

• Arrive Early: Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled test to account for any unexpected delays. This will give you time to calm your nerves.
• Prepare Your Paperwork: Ensure your identification, proof of insurance, and valid driver’s licence are ready. Everything must be in place before you can start your test.
• Know Your Test Route: While routes can vary, it helps to ask other test-takers about their experiences and get advice on common routes used for the tests.
