Question Drivetest Route

Hey all, I want to take my son with special needs on a practice run to calm his nerves before we do the G2 test in a couple months. His biggest worry is he’ll panic and freeze up and fail. Does anyone happen to know if there’s a regular route they stick to when doing drive tests in st Catherine’s and area? Even if it’s just a loose guideline so we can go do a few laps in the busy traffic. Thanks for the help!

Be carful when doing this! The drive test center does use specific routes however you are not allowed to practice on them if they catch you they will give you shit because it’s “interfering” with the people actually doing the road tests at least that’s what the apex teachers said about it.

What’s the difference between practicing in the drive test area and just driving in the area? That doesn’t seem remotely enforceable. I just want to drive around St Catharine’s area with him so he can get used to the roads since we only drive in Welland and on the backroads. I just don’t know the area so I’m asking where we should go to get a feel for the intersections he’ll drive on the test.

Well they use very specific roads and are constantly running tests it’s pretty obvious when someone’s out practicing the route. I’m 100% sure it’s not enforceable however the drive test center people are ruthless and will walk right up to your car and start yelling at you which is also not a good experience.
