Is this the official G1 test?

No. These are practice questions written from the Official MTO Driver's Handbook. The real G1 knowledge test is taken at a DriveTest centre.

Do I have to stop for a school bus on the other side of the road?

Yes, if there is no median. In Ontario you must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights or its stop arm out from both directions. Only on a road with a median strip does oncoming traffic not have to stop.

What should I do at a pedestrian crossover?

Stop and yield the whole roadway. Wait until the pedestrian has crossed and is safely on the sidewalk before you drive on.

Who goes first at a four-way stop?

The first vehicle to come to a complete stop. If two vehicles stop at the same time, the one on the left lets the one on the right go first.

Question 1 of 24

This is a four-way stop. Car A came to a complete stop first. Car B stops a moment later. Which car goes first?

Both cars may go at the same time
Car B, because it came from the west
Car B, because it arrived last
Car A, because it stopped first

Show answer

Answer: D. Car A, because it stopped first

At an all-way stop, the first vehicle to come to a complete stop goes first. Car B must wait until A has gone through.

Question 2 of 24

Cars A and B stop at this four-way stop at the same time. Car B is on A's right. Which car goes first?

Car B, because it is on A's right
Car A, because it is going north
Car A, because it is on B's right
The driver who waves first

Show answer

Answer: A. Car B, because it is on A's right

When two vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. B is on A's right, so A waits.

Question 3 of 24

Cars A and B reach this intersection, which has no signs or lights, at the same time. Which car must yield?

Car B must yield to car A
The slower car must yield
Car A must yield to car B
Neither: both may go at once

At an uncontrolled intersection, if two vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the left lets the driver on the right go first. A is on B's right.

Question 4 of 24

Car A has a green light and wants to turn left. Oncoming car B is going straight through. What must A do?

Turn first, because left turns have the right-of-way on a green light

Wait for the light to turn red, then turn
Turn first, because A is signalling

Show answer

Answer: B. Let B pass first, then turn when it is safe

When you turn left, you must wait for oncoming traffic to pass or turn. Signalling does not give you the right-of-way.

Question 5 of 24

Car A has a green light and is turning left. Pedestrian P is crossing the street A is turning onto. What must A do?

Turn now, because A has a green light
Drive around P while P is still in the crosswalk
Wait for P to cross out of A's path, then turn
Sound the horn so P walks faster

Show answer

Answer: C. Wait for P to cross out of A's path, then turn

Sound the horn so B stops
Let B go through first, then check the right blind spot and turn

Show answer

Answer: D. Let B go through first, then check the right blind spot and turn

Let cyclists go through the intersection before you turn right. Signal and check your mirror and the blind spot to your right.

Question 7 of 24

Car A is stopped at a pedestrian crossover. Pedestrian P has crossed A's lane and is now in the far lane. When may A drive on?

As soon as A sounds the horn
When P has crossed the whole road and is on the sidewalk
When P reaches the centre line
Now, because P has left A's lane

Show answer

Answer: B. When P has crossed the whole road and is on the sidewalk

At a pedestrian crossover, drivers must stop and yield the whole roadway. Drive on only when the pedestrian has crossed and is safely on the sidewalk.

Stop only if a child is on the road
Stop, and wait until the bus moves and its red lights and stop arm are off

Show answer

Drive into the space on the right to go first
Stay back and let the truck finish its turn
Pass the truck on the left
Sound the horn so the truck stays in its lane

Show answer

Change lanes as soon as the signal is on
Speed up and move over quickly
Check only the inside mirror
Look over the left shoulder to check the blind spot

Show answer

Your mirrors may not show a vehicle in your blind spot. Check it by looking over your shoulder in the direction of the lane change. Here car B is in that spot.

Question 21 of 24

Car A is driving beside the back half of truck B. Why is this a risky place to stay?

Car A is going faster than the speed limit
The truck driver may not be able to see car A
Car A is driving too close to the centre line
Trucks may not use the right lane

Show answer

Answer: B. The truck driver may not be able to see car A

Large trucks have big blind spots on both sides. If you cannot see the driver's face in the truck's side mirror, the driver cannot see you. Pass or drop back.

Question 22 of 24

On a cold winter morning, the shaded road ahead of car A, at B, looks black and shiny. What should A think?

It is new pavement, so keep the same speed
It is only water, so speed up to get through it quickly
It is a shadow, so it can be ignored
It may be black ice, so slow down before reaching it

Show answer

Shaded areas, bridges and overpasses freeze first. If the road ahead looks black and shiny, be suspicious of ice and slow down.

Question 23 of 24

A large puddle B covers part of car A's lane, and pedestrian C is walking right beside it. What is the best choice?

Drive through it quickly to keep control of the car
Slow down and avoid the puddle if it is safe
Sound the horn and drive through it
Brake hard in the middle of the puddle

Swerve around the deer without slowing

Show answer

Answer: B. Slow down, sound the horn and watch for other deer

If you see an animal, slow down and sound your horn, and watch for other animals. Do not try to drive around it: its moves are hard to predict.
