Common Questions from Thornhill Students
What to Expect on the G2 Road Test in Ontario
The G2 road test in Ontario is approximately 20 minutes of driving with an MTO examiner in the passenger seat. You will be tested on turns, lane changes, intersections, parking manoeuvres, and general safe driving habits. You must demonstrate controlled, predictable driving and avoid critical errors. Most tests do not include highway driving.
Read answerDoes Your BDE Certificate Expire in Ontario?
No, a BDE (Beginner Driver Education) certificate does not expire in Ontario. Once you complete an MTO-approved BDE course, the certification is permanent. However, you must use it before your G1 licence expires to get the insurance discount and reduced wait time.
Read answerHow Long After Getting Your G2 Can You Take the G Test in Ontario?
You must hold your G2 licence for a minimum of 12 months before you can take the G road test in Ontario. There is no way to shorten this waiting period. Unlike the G1-to-G2 wait, BDE does not reduce the G2-to-G timeline.
Read answerHow Much Does Driving School Cost in Ontario?
Driving school costs in Ontario range from $500 to $1,200+ depending on the program. A full BDE course costs $600-$1,000. Individual driving lessons cost $45-$70 per hour. Road test escort services are typically $100-$200. Prices vary by school and region.
