Tests Available at the Sault Ste Marie Drive Test Centre

G2 License Test

If you hold a G1 license, the G2 test at the Sault Ste Marie Drive Test Centre will measure your ability to drive safely, emphasizing fundamental driving skills in urban and residential areas. During your G2 test, you will be evaluated on:

• Safe lane changes
• Following right-of-way rules at intersections
• Proper execution of parking, including parallel and angle parking
• Complete stops at intersections
• Navigating residential areas safely

Your performance in these areas will determine whether you are ready for the next level of driving in Ontario. For details on booking, you can visit our G2 road test page.

G License Test

If you already have your G2 license and are ready for full driving privileges, the G test at the Sault Ste Marie Drive Test Centre will assess more advanced driving skills. This includes:

• Highway driving, including merging and changing lanes on highways
• Defensive driving manoeuvres in light to heavy traffic
• Responsible driving under varied weather and road conditions

Sault Ste Marie's proximity to Highway 17 can serve as a good practice setting for highway-related driving skills.

G2 Retest

If you did not pass your G2 exam on your first attempt, don’t worry. You can book a G2 retest at the Sault Ste Marie Drive Test Centre at your convenience. Retaking the test does not change the process, and you’ll still be evaluated on the initial set of skills, possibly with a different route or examiner. Learn about all the required steps here.

What’s Unique About the Sault Ste Marie Drive Test Centre?

Sault Ste Marie is located near the Canada-U.S. border, but unlike busier international crossing cities like Windsor, the city offers a quieter region with spacious driving conditions. This allows test-takers to get a feel for urban driving without the overwhelming congestion of larger cities. However, the nearby international bridge crossing into Michigan does introduce some light commercial traffic patterns, which can help those testing at the G level to practice defensive driving. In addition, the city’s combination of rural outer roads and residential streets provides a varied experience across different driving environments.

Prepare for Your Test at the Sault Ste Marie Drive Test Centre

Proper preparation is crucial in passing your road test, whether you are going for your G2 or G license.

G2 Test Prep

The city offers a mix of both low-traffic residential areas and relatively busier urban areas. Focus on these skills:

• Residential Driving: Practice driving in quiet neighbourhoods, obeying speed limits, and respecting posted signs.
• Intersections: Sault Ste Marie contains multiple intersections where you’ll need to demonstrate your ability to stop correctly and yield the right-of-way.
• Parking: Make sure to practice different types of parking: parallel, reverse, and angle. These could all come up during your G2 test.

Additionally, Sault Ste Marie’s wide streets offer plenty of opportunities to improve your lane changing proficiency. Keep practising by signalling in advance and looking over your shoulder to check blind spots.

G Test Prep

To achieve your full G license, you’ll need to practice more advanced scenarios, particularly highway driving. Key areas to focus on include:

• Highway Driving: Take a trip on Highway 17 and practice merging into fast-paced traffic, changing lanes, and adjusting your speed according to road conditions.
• Defensive Driving: Use your preparation time to learn about defensive driving techniques, especially in rainy or snowy conditions, all of which are common in Sault Ste Marie. Make sure to maintain proper following distance and avoid sudden movements.

Make a point of practising during different times of the day to simulate light and moderate traffic conditions.
