What Happens If You Fail the G Road Test in Ontario?

According to DriveTest Ontario, failing the G road test does not affect your G2 licence. You leave with the same permissions and restrictions you had going in. Nothing is lost except the $91.25 test fee and the opportunity to upgrade to a full G licence that day.

According to DriveTest Ontario, there is a minimum 10-day waiting period between G road test attempts. Use this time productively: review your score sheet, identify the specific errors the examiner marked, and address them with focused practice or a lesson. Most drivers who prepare between attempts significantly improve their result.

Your G2 licence is valid for 5 years from the date it was issued. You have the full 5-year window to pass the G road test. If your G2 expires before you pass the G test, you must restart the graduated licensing process. Track your G2 expiry date and give yourself enough attempts before it expires.

After a failed G test, the examiner will briefly explain the main reasons and hand you a score sheet. Review it carefully. Common G test failure points include highway merging, maintaining appropriate speed on the expressway, lane changes at higher speeds, and following distance on the highway.

There is no limit on the number of G road test attempts in Ontario, as long as your G2 licence remains valid. Each attempt requires paying the $91.25 test fee.
