Ontario G1: Rules of the Road Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Slow down before entering the curve and accelerate as you're finishing the curve.

Slow down before the start of the curve so you can avoid braking in the curve. (Braking in a curve can cause a skid.) You must have slowed down to the safe speed for the curve by the time you are 30 metres into it. While in the curve, stay close to the middle of your lane. Keep your speed steady and slow enough so that objects and people inside your vehicle are not pushed by the centrifugal force generated by the turn. Near the end of the curve, begin accelerating to return to normal speed.

Not quite. The answer is $200,000.

All vehicles must be insured for third-party liability for at least $200,000. This covers you in the event that you injure or kill someone or damage someone's property while driving. Collision insurance to cover damage to your own vehicle is a good idea, but it's not required by law.

Not quite. The answer is Do all of the above.

Drivers need to properly respond to the presence of pedestrians. In most cases, that means yielding. Eye contact between the pedestrian and driver is one of the keys to pedestrian safety. Drivers should also drive slowly and cautiously through school zones, residential areas and any other locations where children may be walking or playing. Finally, drivers should be extra cautious at twilight when pedestrians are difficult to see.

Not quite. The answer is sit in the front passenger seat.

By law, when you have a G1 licence, you must drive with a fully licensed driver who has at least four years of driving experience and a blood alcohol level of less than 0.05. If this person is 21 or under, his or her blood alcohol level must be zero. Additionally, the driver accompanying you must be the only other person in the front seat.

Not quite. The answer is 4

If you are convicted of following too closely (tailgating), four demerit points will be added to your driving record.

Not quite. The answer is any of the above

If you are convicted of careless driving, racing, failing to stop for a school bus or exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/hour or more, six demerit points will be added to your driving record.

Not quite. The answer is Move to the right side of your lane and do not increase your speed.

If the driver of another vehicle signals that he or she intends to pass your vehicle, help that driver pass you safely. Move to the right side of your lane and do NOT increase your speed until the passing vehicle has passed your vehicle. In fact, be prepared to slow down to help the passing driver get in front of you more quickly to prevent a collision.

Not quite. The answer is 8 months.

If you have a G1 licence and complete a government-approved beginner driver education course, you may take your G1 (Level One) road test after you've held your G1 licence for just eight months instead of the usual twelve.

Not quite. The answer is Someone with at least 4 years of driving experience must supervise your driving.

A G1 driver must not drive alone. An accompanying driver must sit in the front passenger seat and have a valid Class G (or higher) licence and at least four years of driving experience. A G1 driver may drive in the evening but not between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

Not quite. The answer is meets all of the above requirements.

While you hold a G1 licence, your driving must be supervised by another driver who holds a full G licence, has at least four years of driving experience, and is the only other person in the front seat.

Not quite. The answer is 9

The demerit-point system encourages drivers to improve their behaviour and protects people from drivers who abuse the privilege of driving. Drivers convicted of driving-related offences have demerit points recorded on their records. Demerit points stay on your record for two years from the date of the offence. If you accumulate too many demerit points, your driver’s licence may be suspended. A Level One or Level Two driver will have his or her licence suspended if the driver accumulates nine or more demerit points within a two-year period.

Not quite. The answer is giving the proper signal and looking to make sure that the lane change can be performed safely.

Before changing lanes, you must always give the proper signal and look to make sure the move can be made safely. First check your mirrors. Then look over your shoulder to check your blind spots.

Not quite. The answer is Move to the right and allow the vehicle to pass.

If another driver is about to pass your vehicle, you should move to the right and let the driver pass.

Not quite. The answer is 3

A G2 driver age 19 or younger who has only 6 months or less of driving experience may carry only one unrelated passenger age 19 or younger between midnight and 5:00 a.m. If the G2 driver has more than 6 months of driving experience, he or she may carry up to three unrelated passengers. These restrictions do not apply if the G2 driver is accompanied by a fully licensed driver sitting in the front seat. There is no restriction on the number of family members that the G2 driver may carry.

Not quite. The answer is 7 days

If caught driving in the warn range, you will receive an immediate driver’s-licence suspension at the roadside for seven days for a second occurrence, and you must undergo a remedial alcohol-education program.

Not quite. The answer is Toward the curb

When parking facing downhill, turn your front wheels toward the curb or right shoulder. This will keep your vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes become disengaged. When facing uphill or downhill without a curb, turn the wheels sharply to the right. If the vehicle rolls, it will go off the road rather than into traffic.

Not quite. The answer is Immediately

Every driver involved in a collision must stay at the scene or return to it immediately and render all possible assistance. If you are not personally involved in a collision, you should stop to offer help if police or other officials have not arrived. Call for help or have someone else call. By law, you must report any collision to the police immediately if there were injuries or damage to vehicles or other property exceeding $2,000.

Not quite. The answer is 1 metre

When passing a cyclist, you are required to maintain a minimum distance of one metre between your vehicle and the cyclist. If the lane is too narrow to share, change lanes to pass the cyclist.

Not quite. The answer is At any place, at any time

When a police officer signals you to pull your vehicle over, you must pull over as far to the right as you safely can and come to a complete stop. Stay in the vehicle and wait for the police officer. Upon the police officer’s request, you must immediately surrender your driver’s licence, vehicle permit (or copy) and insurance. A police officer or inspector appointed by the Minister of Transportation can inspect your vehicle at any time, anywhere. If he or she finds that your vehicle is unsafe, it may be taken off the road until the problem is fixed.

Not quite. The answer is 5 years.

If you are convicted of failing to pull over when a police officer signaled you to do so, you will face a fine of $1,000–$10,000, up to 6 months in jail, or both. However, if you fled the police officer and the police had to pursue you, you will face a fine of $5,000–$25,000, between 14 days and 6 months in jail, and licence suspension for 5 years.
