Hey guys, as the title indicates I'm taking my G2 test at Canotek on the 30th of May. I was wondering if any of you people that took the test already could give me some tips on how to pass? I would also like to know the route they take you on too, if that's not too much of a hassle. I know they will take me through some residential areas that will require controlled speed and constant mirror/area checking, but I also want to know the overall route they will take me on. Thank you for your time!
It really depends on the instructor that you get. As I recall, my sister had complained that hers had been quite strict and critical. In my case, I was lucky and got one who was much more reasonable. My test went well overall, and I did get it on my first try. However, it's worth noting that I completely failed my parallel parking. I never took driving lessons, and learned everything from my parents, and advice from friends (which was similar to the advice in this thread).
Unfortunately, they never pushed me to practice parallel parking, as they didn't really have any tricks or advice to give me. I think the instructor had me try 2-3 times during the test, and each time I fucked up my timing and ended up hitting the curb as I backed up. He could see how nervous I was, and kept telling me to calm down and take it slow. He passed me anyway, saying that he could clearly see how hard I was trying, and that I had done well at everything else. Look at yours mirrors often. Even if you don't have to.
They want to see that you use them and they make actually miss seeing you doing so while writing on their notepads, so be sure to look around more than you need to. Drive the speed limit. Don't drive any slower, as you'll be penalized. Don't switch lanes in the middle of an intersection, and make sure they feel your car come to a complete stop during stop signs. They took me through some residential areas, made me do a 3-point-turn and told me to drive back. 10 hours is definitely not enough time to prep you unfortunately.
During your lessons you will learn how to do things, but usually you only have time to practice a couple of times before your lesson is done. Things like parallel parking, judging braking distance, and getting a feel for traffic flow, etc. Come with lots of hours on the road. I believe you have 5 years to get your G2 after getting your G1, so there's really no rush to do your test if you don't even have access to a car in the first place. I got my G1 awhile back and I've been putting of my G2 because of my situation.
I have till 2019 to get my G2 but I was told I might be able to ask for an extension. It's not so much being in a rush (although I would like to learn to drive sooner then later) - as that I just don't really know what my options are for getting practice in since I don't really want to bug my parents for help (I'm moved out) and I don't have a lot of friends who'd have the free time & ability to help. E: I think Im mixing up test names.
I've only done the written test. I did both my G2 and G tests here. Better choice then walkley imo. But it's standard. They will literally only take you through the residential zones for G2, no highway.
There are lots of speed signs everywhere. There are school zones and lots of areas that they can get you to do the following and they might.
3 point turns paralleled parking parking down/up a hill control speed. Reverse parking switching lanes. Stopping for buses. The instructors are firm but fair. You won't get a perfect score and yes be very obvious when doing shaulder checks, mirror checks.
Make sure you've got your seatbelt on. Don't listen to music even if the instructor says it's ok lol. Just focus on exactly what you need to do but in the end. Driving really isn't rocket surgery. Go practice in the residential area. Practice your weak points till you're 100%.
Make sure your horn works, your lights turn on and that includes brakes and signal lights because that's the first thing they'll ask you to do.
