Hi guys,

I'm taking the Ontario Driving Test (Class G) tomorrow. Does anyone have any tips for me to pass (other than not crash into stuff 🙂 )?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

I PASSED! Here's what they asked me to do:
-right/left turns
-roadside stop
-3 point turn
-highway driving

That's it! No parallel parking or stall parking or anything. But I'm happy.
 
Whenever you're taking off from a stop, burn out

When you stop, hit the brakes as hard as you can - the goal is to put the examiner's head against (but not through) your windshield

Remember, green=go, red=go faster

Bonus points for every small, furry animal you flatten (hint: they don't need to be on the road)!!

green=go
yellow=hurry the fvck up
red=ohh sh!t
 
Come to a complete stop behind the stop sign. Use signals when appropriate. Don't speed. Relax and you'll do fine.
 
10&2 makes you swerve more...lean the seat back as far as possible, preferably so much that you cant see out and all that people can see of you is your nuckles...grip the wheel with one hand at 12 o'clock and blast snoop dog at full volume...if the instructor says anything, just pimp slap him and say "fo shizzle my nizzle relax or slob on my nobizzle"
 
Bring your cell phone with you and call someone during the test.

Don't speed. Check mirrors. If he asks you to park MAKE SURE it's not in front of a fire hydrant. THey got me on the test with that cause I wans't paying attention and he specifically tried to get me to pull over in front of one. Oops! Still passed tho.
 
Thanks for the replies, guys (serious and not-so-serious 🙂 ). Yeah, I'll try not to be nervous. I do have to practice stall parking (going backwards into a parking spot) and parallel parking some more though, just to be more confident with those. I think I'm ok with regular driving and highway driving.
 
To start off with, roll all the windows down, put Quiet Riot's Metal Health in the tape deck and crank up the stereo. Tell the instructor you're a Head Banger and that this music relaxes you. Make sure you offer the instructor a doobie when he gets in the car and a hot cup of coffie. (I'll explain later what the coffee is for).

The first thing they test you on is the "neutral drop"
First put the car in neutral. Then floor the gas pedal as you drop it into drive. They will grade you on both how much rubber you burn and on how loud your wheels screech.

Next they test you on how well you can stop short in the left lane with a green light. This works best on a road where the speed limt is over 40 mph with the cars are very close together and in thick fog or when the roads are icy. When you stop short, you get points for every car behind you involved in an accident. Don't be alarmed if you get hit from behind, since it is always the fault of the guy that runs into you. You can score bonus points if you can get the instructor to spill his coffee and burn himself.

The last test is the 1 mile dash.
They test you on how many cars you can cut off in 1 mile.



 
i failed my G in march....i failed because i merged on the highway at 90km/h ...and supposedly impeded traffic even though no one was behind me....pissed me off. My re-test is end of july....better not lose another $75
 
don't crash.

seriously though, try not to be nervous...these test instructors FEED off of fear, they get kicks from it. The guy testing me kept yelling at me, and at the end of the test he was like "good, you're one of the few who didn't screw up because of my yelling." Ass.

too bad I can't drive stick 🙁

Crap... they fail you if you don't merge at 100 km/h? How are you supposed to accelerate to 100 while timing the merge perfectly so no one crashes into you and you don't crash into anyone? So many variables!!

And also, I hear that if you use the brakes even slightly on the highway onramp, you fail right away. Is this true?

 
Take the test with a pair of hookers in the back seat. And let him know they're prepaid and for the celebration party immediately after you pass. 🙂

I think it's a requirement for the Ontario G Test that I have to go on the highway.

 
He should take the test where I did (Shepherdsville, KY). The entire test consists of:
Start out parked at side of street
Turn headlights & wipers on & off, honk horn
Pull out into traffic
Turn right
Stop
Turn right again
Stop again
Turn around (back into a side street & pull out)
Turn into parking lot
Parallel park

Plus you take the test on a weekday morning, when there's hardly any traffic. Amazingly, people actually fail this test!
