The Level Two Road Test
Statistics show that new drivers of all ages are far more likely than
experienced drivers to be involved in serious or fatal collisions.
To help new drivers develop better, safer driving habits, Ontario
introduced graduated licensing in 1994 for all drivers applying for their
!rst car or motorcycle licence. Graduated licensing lets you gain driving
skills and experience gradually, in lower-risk environments. The two-step
licensing system takes at least 20 months to complete and includes two
road tests. Passing the Level Two (G2) road test gives you full Class G
driving privileges.
While the Level One road test deals with basic driving skills, the Level Two
deals with advanced knowledge and skills that are generally gained with
driving experience. When you take the test, the examiner will give you
directions. As you complete the driving tasks, the examiner will watch to
make sure you successfully perform the actions associated with them.
The G2 road test includes a component of expressway driving. To proceed,

Next (https://www.ontario.ca/document/official-mto-drivers-handbook/off-road-

(https://www.ontario.ca/page/government-ontario)
you must complete and sign a “Declaration of Highway Driving
Experience” to ensure that you have su"cient expressway driving
experience to complete this component. On the form, you will indicates
how many times in the three months before the road test you have driven
on a freeway and/or a highway with a speed limit of at least 80 km/h. You
are required to indicate what was the average length of these trips (for
example, under 5 kilometres, between 5 and 15 kilometres, over 15
kilometres). Freeways include: 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 409,
410, 416, 417, 420, 427, Queen Elizabeth Way, Don Valley Parkway,
Gardiner Expressway, E. C. Row Expressway and the Conestoga Parkway. If
you do not have su"cient highway driving experience, the examiner must
declare the road test “out-of-order” and cancel it. You will lose 50 per cent
of your prepaid road-test fee. In order to reschedule, you will have to pay
the 50 per cent of the road-test fee lost through the out-of-order. Make
sure you obtain the required highway driving experience before
rescheduling your test.
To help you prepare, this chapter tells you the various tasks and actions
that you will be expected to perform in your Level Two road test. This is
only a guide. For more information on the driving tasks, you should review
chapters 2 and 3.
Until further notice, the G road test will not include these elements
that are already covered in the G2 road test:
parallel parking
roadside stops
3-point turn
driving in residential neighbourhoods
The test will still include all of the fundamental elements such as:
driving on major roads and expressways including merging on
and o#, maintaining appropriate speed and space, signalling and
more
turns, curves and lane changes
intersections
driving in business areas
