When you take your G2 road test in Ontario, the examiner uses a standardized score sheet
to track every move you make. The sheet looks simple, but it covers dozens of small habits that add up
to a pass or fail.
Let’s break down how the sheet works, what examiners mark, and the most common mistakes Windsor drivers make on the
G2 test.

How the G2 Road Test Scoring System Works
[OK] – Correct
[✔] – Minor error (–2 points)
[X] – Major error (–4 points)
[R] – Unsafe action at a railway crossing (automatic fail)
[//] – Not tested
Tip: You don’t need a perfect sheet. A few small mistakes are fine — examiners care most about
safe, consistent driving.
Fail Risk: Rolling stops and skipped blind spot checks are two of the fastest ways to
lose your test.
4. Intersections & Railroad (R.R.) Crossings
Fails to observe properly / controlled / uncontrolled intersections
Fails to obey signs or signals / pavement markings
Late in slowing / stopping / slows too soon
Stopping position: too soon or blocks crosswalk / intersection
Right-of-way observance: ped. / self / other vehicle
Common Windsor Fail: Students block the crosswalk downtown near Ouellette — always stop fully
before the line.
5. Turns
Left turn process: mirror → signal → check intersection & crosswalk → blindspot check → enter the correct lane → cancel signal (most cars will auto shut off the signal after the turn) → match
the posted speed when safe → move to right lane after speed limit is reached
Signalling: Wrong / early / late / not given / not cancelled
Fails to get in proper position / lane / late into lane / late into position
Right-of-way observance: ped. / self / position / other vehicles
Turns too wide - enters wrong lane
Cuts corner - enters wrong lane
Steering: method / control / recovery
Speed: too fast / too slow / enter / leave / impedes
Incorrect use of: clutch / brake / accelerator / gears
Instructor Note: Left turns at Walker Road often trip up Windsor students — practice lane
discipline closely.
6. Parking
Fails to observe - uses mirror only / backing / leaving
Test Tip: They'll make you do this on level ground in Windsor and Chatham. But just remember to angle the wheels properly. They'll mostly make you do an emergency pullover (don't forget emergency lights) and then they'll ask you for uphill/downhill parking and then 3-point turn. Consecutively one after the other.
Tips for Success on Test Day
Use a drivng school car as this will help examienrs be more lenient as they know you have practice. And they have access to dual brakes and will be more at ease. Rent our school's car for your test
Practice local routes — many tests run near E.C. Row and downtown streets.
Drive defensively — anticipate pedestrians and sudden stops.
Stay calm — one mistake doesn’t mean failure if you recover safely.
Politely ask for clarification if instructions aren’t clear.
Check your vehicle before test day — lights, brakes, and signals must work.
