Top Tips to Pass Your Ontario G1, G2, or G Driving Test

Preparing for your Ontario driving test can be easy if you focus on the right areas. The best way to study is by dividing the material into clear categories — this helps you spend more time on topics that need extra attention. Below are the key areas every new driver should master before taking their G1, G2, or G test.

• 1. Learn Ontario Driving Rules and Road Regulations
  Understand all the rules of the road, including right-of-way, speed limits, lane changes, and safe driving practices. These are essential for both the written G1 test and your G2/G road tests.
• 2. Study Road Signs and Their Meanings
  Make sure you can recognize and interpret all major Ontario road signs — regulatory, warning, and informational. Knowing your signs is critical for both written and practical exams.
• 3. Know About Demerit Points and Penalties
  Learn how the demerit point system works in Ontario and what penalties apply for traffic violations. This knowledge helps you not only pass your test but also become a safer, more responsible driver.
• 4. Get Familiar with Vehicle Parts and Controls
  While not a major part of the written G1 test, it’s still important to know your vehicle. Understand basic car components such as indicators, headlights, brake lights, and dashboard symbols. During your G2 or G test, the examiner may ask you to demonstrate that your lights and signals are working properly.

Pro Tip: Combine studying with our free G1 practice tests and the official Ontario Driver’s Handbook to ensure you’re fully prepared to pass on your first attempt!
