Included on the Day of your Road Test:

  • We pick you up with our car at your location, 1 1/2 hours (90 minutes) prior to your road test, and provide you with a one hour of driving practice immediately prior to your
    test, to help overcome nervousness and give you any important updated information.
  • We have to arrive at the DriveTest location a half hour before your scheduled road test time, for "Check In" (as required by Drivetest). After this, we wait in the car for the for the DriveTest Examiner to come to the car. The examiner will check the vehicle and it's lights and horn. Then go through a "Preamble" with you in the car, to give information regarding the road test. Then, away you go. Just follow their directions.
  • After the test, we will help you complete your paperwork and license upgrade.
  • We drive you to your home, work, or school after the test.
    This entire procedure takes 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.

    A STRONG RECOMMENDATION for clients who DID NOT take our BDE course.
  • A 90 minute lesson a few days before your test - $60 cash.
    We have to be sure that your Skills, Knowledge, Procedures, Observation and Judgement
    meet Ministry Standards.
  • To pass your Road Test: 1) your Driving Skills must be very good.
    2) you must know the Right-of-Way Rules.
    3) you must know the Laws and Speed Limits
    4) you must know the Procedures required for all Manoeuvres.
    5) Have good Observation Skills.

Note for G1 to G2:
We can NOT rent our vehicles for just the G1 Test > We must know that you can drive.
We cannot afford a crash (hirer insurance rates and charges),
or ruining our reputations by bringing someone who is not prepared to pass the test.
During the Test, the Examiner will only give you the task and the directions > NO TRICKS!DriveTest does not supply cars for the road test.

Please reserve a car and instructor in advance.

DO YOU WANT GOOD INSTRUCTION?

We have Great Instructors!

 Private Driving Lessons are:     $40 per hour
                                                  or $60 for 1 1/2 hours

Driving Test Evaluation - One hour and half (90 minutes) $60

This starts with a short drive to get you used to the car.  Then the instructor will put you through a simulated driving test to evaluate your Skill, Knowledge, Judgement and Observational performance.  Then your strengths, weaknesses and our recommendations are discussed.  We then provide an explanation of the MTO driving test and an explanation of the MTO Road Test score sheet and marking method. Then the Instructor will help you with your weak areas. If time permits, we will take you to the driving test area. The Driver Examiner will be testing four (4) major aspects of driving.

  1. Skill: You must be able to perform all aspects of handling the car skilfully and safely, including turns, changing lanes, parking, reversing, maintaining proper lane positioning, maintaining steady speed, smooth precise control, etc.
  2. Knowledge: You must know the laws, the proper procedures for turns, roadside stops, lane changes, handling intersections, emergency vehicles, and you must know your vehicle and controls.
  3. Observation: requires that you are constantly looking for problems by scanning intersections, checking the correct mirror and checking blind spots when necessary.
  4. Judgement: develops through practice and lots of driving time.  Your judgement for proper speed when turning, going around a curve, etc. Your judgement for distance. Distance from parked cars or people, following distance, curb distance judgement.  Your Decision Making abilities. You must have the knowledge and judgement to know what to do in traffic.

There are significant differences in how they test and mark,
between the G1-G2 and G2-G tests.

During the "Road Test" the Driver Examiner is not allowed to coach you. All decision making in the driving task is up to you, the Applicant for a drivers license. DriveTest Examiners are very professional and will only give you precise directions to follow. 
Examiners WILL NOT try to trick you.  They WILL NOT ask you to do anything illegal.
