Your valid Ontario G1/G2 or M1/M2 licence, a vehicle in good working condition, valid insurance, valid licence plate sticker, a fully licensed accompanying driver (for G2 tests), and your motorcycle & helmet (for M/M2 tests). Arrive at least 30 minutes early.
Practice regularly near your test centre. Master parallel parking. Check mirrors frequently and visibly. Signal for every turn and lane change. Come to a complete stop at stop signs. Obey speed limits. Stay calm and arrive early.
G2 test (~20 min): Basic driving on residential/commercial roads — turns, stops, lane changes, parallel parking, three-point turns.

G test (~30 min): Everything in G2 plus highway driving — merging, high-speed lane changes, exiting. Passing earns your full, unrestricted G licence.
Smaller-town centres generally have simpler routes with less traffic. Popular choices include Orangeville, Lindsay, Simcoe, and Cobourg. However, solid preparation matters more than location. Contact us for recommendations.
