Hello Dear Friends,
Wishing you a safe and ticket-free week!
Did you know that in the G2 road test, giving a late signal costs you 2 points, while forgetting to signal costs you 4 points?
Is your G2 road test approaching? Are you prepared for it? Let’s take a closer look at the evaluation criteria for the G2 test.
⚠️ COMMON CRITICAL ERRORS IN THE TEST
(Just one critical error can result in failure)
• Driving behaviors that could cause an accident (e.g., coming close to hitting a barrier).
• Dangerous maneuvers (e.g., failing to notice or yield to an approaching vehicle during a lane change).
• Traffic rule violations (e.g., not stopping at a stop sign or turning right on red without fully stopping).
• Inadequate driving skills (e.g., inability to drive straight or stay within the lane).
• Excessive minor errors.
What are the evaluation criteria?
BEFORE THE TEST BEGINS:
❌ Vehicle Checks:
The examiner will check your vehicle’s signal lights, brake lights, horn, and windshield for cracks. If your vehicle is not in proper condition, you will not be allowed to take the test.
❌ Mask Policy:
If you’re not wearing a mask while waiting in the car, your test may be canceled.
❌ Glasses:
If your license requires you to wear glasses, and you arrive without them, your test will be canceled. (The examiner may invite you for an eye test. If you pass without glasses, you can proceed with the test.)
✅ DURING THE TEST:
❗Note: Each mistake or neglected action is marked separately and evaluated. Mistakes cost 2 or 4 points each. If you accumulate 30 or more penalty points, you will fail the test.
1. DRIVING CONTROLS 👓
• Following vehicles too closely or passing too close to another car.
• Incorrect lane choices.
• Failing to check blind spots or observe surroundings.
• Signaling Errors:
• Incorrect, early, late, missing, or not canceling a signal.
• Yield violations (e.g., failing to yield to pedestrians, vehicles, or cyclists).
• Distracted driving (e.g., ignoring pedestrians, school zones, or emergency vehicles).

• Incorrect, early, late, missing, or not canceling a signal.
• Poor entry into turns (e.g., wrong lane or position).
• Failing to yield.
• Wide or Short Turns:
• Turning too wide or too sharp, entering the wrong lane.

4. PARKING
• Errors when reversing, exiting, or parking.
• Failing to check mirrors or surroundings.
