had by g road test in orilia. here are few things for those who have test scheduled - 1) hardly any wait time. 2) 2 lane highway, speed 100 (the instructor will tell u as well) 3) 2 times highway entry and exit 4) only highway test,no parallel parking, 3 point turn etc. 5) while merging on highway make sure to have speed of 100 or slightly more. Same while on the highway and changing lanes. i failed bcoz i merged and changed lanes at less than 100kmph, i was at 96kmph. In short, either in city or highway,keep speed same or above the limit specified, not below it. 6) keep turning ur head right left etc.
I just did my test, everything you said is correct! I can also add that: 1. I was not told that the highway is 100km/h, but I still went with that speed both ways. While merging my speed went up to approximately 115-120, which seemed to be fine with the instructor. 2. In the city I was going mostly 50-60. The only time I went slower was the hill before the school zone and at some point right before entering the highway I went 65. It looks like instructors are fine with it as long as the majority of your driving is close or a bit above the speed limit. 3. I was asked to change lanes 3 times - in the city before we got on the highway, on the highway going south and once again going north. Don’t rush changing lanes going north, as you most likely be exiting at the second exist. 3. Make sure to always check your blind spots while merging or changing lanes. 4. You will be asked to front park at a 45 degree parking. It’s quite easy, but I managed to hit the front curb and I though at that moment that I failed. 5. Lastly, still no parallel parking, 3 point turns etc Anyways, I passed! Thank you so much for the video as it helped a lot!
Thank you for this video, I watched it before my G test. Although there's a new update regarding the exit route but its fine. I did my G test today in Orillia and thank GOD I passed the G test!
I had my G drive test from G1 directly today, I passed in first attempt. I got nervous when I saw old white lady ruth because she was my examiner today. I got anxious in starting but got the confidence back and started driving. Today due to construction on South highway, she took me from North highway and made me change lanes many times, and everything perfect in that. She was telling instructions straight to the point and was clear about everything. She told me if i have any doubt also i can ask her. I followed all her instructions and i passed the exam in very first attempt from G1 to G. I found she was very nice to me. I don't know why people always post negative comment about her, i found her to be extremely professional in her work and which is good. Rest entire process was smooth and fast in drive test Centre. Would recommend people to go here! One tip, I'll give is Just be Confident and be yourself. Always believe in your practice because even I had 7 years around experience in India. If you're confident and driving with all rules and regulation, everything will be fine.
Appreciated your nice comments, yes always be confident. Examiners give you all respect and provide all information, I had good experience on both test at Orillia long time ago.
@@shubhgupta3645 Congrats on your G! I have a G test this week at this location as well and noticed that the highway 11 South entrance is under construction. Did the examiner only take you on the North highway? The temporary south entrance seemed very different from normal highway entrance so I was a bit worried about that :(
Took the g test today Nov 30 2022, passed, really easy, went 100 on the highway there and back, he made me change lanes on the way back on the highway, foward park in front of the test centre and it’s still modified.
Hey guys at time 2:02 in the video, the driver stays in the right lane. But recently that has changed because that lane now exits to the right only and you'll now need to go the left lane to be able to go straight, cross the bridge and enter the highway. I almost failed because of this, but luckily the instructor passed me. I think these changes are because of bike lanes!
@@syedazahra787 Thank you for getting back to me! If you have any tips that helped you pass the G road test that you could share I'd appreciate it, I'm taking my test tomorrow afternoon! Specifically, what was your approach to getting off the highway (was it hard getting to the reccomened speed on the off-ramp)?
@@callumroybarron447 no problem! My main tip is to try to remain calm before the test, prevents mistakes. The examiner was very nice and gave instructions throughout the test. As for the highway, it wasnt very difficult to achieve the recommended speed off ramp. Just make sure you start decelerating only when ur in the off ramp lane. Its fairly long so you have time to slow down. Goodluck! 😊
I just did my G test today and the route was a bit different, instead of turning onto West Street from Fittons Road and merging onto highway 11, we went all the way down Fittons Road and turned right onto highway 12 then merged onto highway 11. Drove down highway 11 until the exit on Sundial Drive, turned right onto Lucille Drive and drove straight back to the Driving Center. Very quick route and did no parking.
I am absolutely PRAYING this will be mine. This is a daily route for me to work & home.. im having minor “issues” with my parallel parking (im picky on how close i get to the curb & im afraid ill fail).. test is tomorrow.. wish me luck.
From where it starts in Barrie it is a RIRO expswy with 90 speed but no one follows it they be going 110-120😂 then in orillia it is an actual freeway with 100km speed and then after it becomes 90 from orillia to gravenhurst where it curves and becomes an 100km/h freeway with some intersections till north bay and from north bay it turns into a 90km two lane road with a passing lane every now and then till nipigon where it meets with 17 .
Yes the route is exactly thesame in this video. But there's a changes in the last route going to back the test center not in the Burnside? It will be exiting in Coldwater. Examiner will tell you where to exit. And thank GOD I did passed the G road test today. Good luck to you!
Old comment but for anyone seeing this now, they probably failed because at the right they turned at there is sign besides the light that states you can't take the turn on a red. My friend did it in Burlington as well.
I just did my test here. I passed but the male Canadian examiner was so nasty, just out of this world rude from start to finish. He was trying so hard to make me uncomfortable and to make me fail yet he couldn't find anything, even with that attitude. But I regret moving to that country. People are too nasty, condescending, mean just dehumanizing. They never changed, and life there as a foreigner, expat, immigrant is a torture!

Does anyone know if it’s still modified?
You say the speed limit on HWY 11 is 90km/h but at 4:22 you can see it says 100km/h.
What is the speed limit on this higway? 90km or 100km?
@@pathlesstravelled4146 usually it’s 90 but for where the test is (orillia) it’s 100!

North of gravenhurst it’s 100 up to at least north bay
At what speed should i go onto the ramp for highway?
i have my test today and im just as nervous as my g2 lol
edit - passed, it was so easy
From where I can get the classes for my G license
in the video, just as you leave the driver center on the highway, they no longer test your ability to parallel park and turn in 3 stages and so on?
It’s a modified test until the end of June! The G test is just highway driving right now
@@amberrawson9746 I think they extended the modified tests actually!
@@felixgogarty8174 where can I get more info on this? How do I see if it’s a modified test?
@@oohkana425 ontario drive website i believe
Is it ok if I merge from short acceleration lane at less than 100 speed
depends if the hwy is busy or not, try to merge at 100
Hii brother, is there still any parallel parking in G test in orillia. Please reply
Hi, I have my G drive test in orilla. Do they test parking? Or it still modified test? Also do you know the route? Thanks!
Hi, it will be the front parking or reverse parking. Mine today was the front parking.
Thank you Rose! And the route? Was the same as shown in the video?
Yes the route is exactly thesame in this video. But there's a changes in the last route going to back the test center not in the Burnside? It will be exiting in Coldwater. Examiner will tell you where to exit. And thank GOD I did passed the G road test today. Good luck to you!
There's a construction in the Burnside exit so the exit route changed.
Thank you!!
Any driving instructor in orrilia
What is the speed limit on this higway? 90km or 100km?
If it's in the South 11 it will be 100 speed but in the North 11 it will be 90 speed.
Is it ok to turn right on a red light? My friend failed G test in Burlington for turning right on a Red Light
Only if it's allowed.
yes but the turn has to be only when its safe to do so
Old comment but for anyone seeing this now, they probably failed because at the right they turned at there is sign besides the light that states you can't take the turn on a red. My friend did it in Burlington as well.
