G road test

The last test. Now with the highway.

The G is your G2 test plus the freeway: merging on, keeping your space at speed, and getting off. Here’s what’s new, the 5 highway drives you declare, and how to book. From DriveTest, checked 11 Nov 2026.

What’s new for the G

What's different from your G2

  • It takes about 30 minutes, with a highway part.
  • You merge on and off, and keep your speed and space at highway speed.
  • Curves and business areas join the turns, lane changes and intersections.
  • Steero rehearses the standard test, so you're ready at any centre.
DriveTest

The shorter test, for now

Until further notice, full-time DriveTest centres run a shorter G test. Part-time Travel Points still run the standard one. Checked 11 Nov 2026.

  • Parallel parking
  • Roadside stops
  • The 3-point turn
  • Residential streets

Steero rehearses the standard test, every part, so you’re ready at any centre and if the notice ends.

DriveTest

Your 5 highway drives

Before the test you sign a Declaration of Highway Driving Experience. It asks:

  • How many highway drives you made in the last 3 months. Count 400-series highways and roads of 80 km/h or more.
  • The average length of those drives: under 5 km, 5 to 15 km, or over 15 km.

Fewer than 5 drives and your appointment is cancelled. You lose half of your road test fee.

Roads that count

Highway 400, Highway 401, Highway 402, Highway 403, Highway 404, Highway 405, Highway 406, Highway 407, Highway 409, Highway 410, Highway 416, Highway 417, Highway 420, Highway 427, QEW, Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, E. C. Row Expressway, Conestoga Parkway, and any road with a limit of 80 km/h or more.

The app’s highway log counts your drives against your test date and fills in both answers. It’s your own count, typed in after you park.

Highway scenes

The first scene of each new part, step by step. The app has all 66 G scenarios, with the G2 parts at G level, a trick for every step and a G mock.

Getting on the freeway

Ramps, acceleration lanes and finding your gap at speed.

Get on the freeway

Take the ramp and merge onto the freeway.
  1. Rear-view, left mirror, then signal left once traffic can see you.
  2. Build up to the speed of freeway traffic.
  3. Shoulder check left for a gap, not a spot beside a car.
  4. Merge smoothly into the centre of the nearest lane.
  5. Cancel your signal once you've merged.
+4 more in the appScenes at highway speed, every step and its trick.

On the freeway

Passing, making room, trucks, work zones and lanes that end.

Use the HOV lane

You have a passenger. Move into the HOV lane.
  1. Hold your lane while the buffer is striped.
  2. At the broken lines: rear-view, left mirror, then signal left.
  3. Shoulder check left.
  4. Move into the HOV lane.
  5. Cancel your signal.
+8 more in the appScenes at highway speed, every step and its trick.

Getting off the freeway

Exit lanes, missed exits and the end of the ramp.

Get off the freeway

Take the next exit.
  1. Rear-view, right mirror, then signal right before the exit lane.
  2. Shoulder check right.
  3. Move into the exit lane at its start, at freeway speed.
  4. Only now, slow down gradually.
  5. Cancel your signal.
  6. Check your speedometer on the ramp.

Curves and country highways

Curves, passing on two-lane roads and fast crossings.

Pass on a two-lane highway

When it's safe, pass the slow truck ahead.
  1. A solid line on your side: stay back for now.
  2. Broken line, clear road: rear-view, left mirror, signal left.
  3. Shoulder check left.
  4. Pull out and pass without delay.
  5. Signal right.
  6. Move back once its front is in your rear-view mirror.
  7. Cancel your signal.
+4 more in the appScenes at highway speed, every step and its trick.

Business areas

Plaza exits, parked cars and keeping to one lane.

Plaza exits

Keep going on this road.
  1. Check your mirrors every 5 to 10 seconds.
  2. A car is nosing out of the plaza. Spot it.
  3. Cover the brake as you near the exit.
  4. It pulls out: ease off for 2 to 3 seconds of space.
  5. Look left and right at every entrance.

G road test myths

No gap? Stop at the end of the acceleration lane.

Myth. Stopping there makes merging much harder. Adjust your speed early to fit the best gap.

You can signal while you're still on the ramp.

Fact. Signal as soon as traffic on the freeway can see your car.

Slow down before you move into the exit lane.

Myth. Signal, but don't slow down until you're in the exit lane.

Rehearse the G from your chair.

In the TestFlight beta now, and in a coming App Store update of Steero for iPhone.

Freeway scenes

Merge, change lanes, pass trucks and exit at highway speed, in the same car as your G2 scenes.

A G mock

The standard test from your chair, with the freeway as one stretch. Freeway only, when that’s the part you need.

The highway log

Log each drive in two taps. It counts them against your test date and warns you before you book short.

Co-pilot on the highway

Your passenger asks about your gap, mirrors, exit and trucks. A miss becomes a scene to practise.

One Test Pass (C$19.99, once) opens G1, G2 and G. Free: one G mock, the highway log and the first scene of each new part.
