Questions / G road test
Answer first · reviewed August 2026
Can I drive home after failing the G test?
If your G2 remains valid and no suspension, expiry or safety issue prevents it, you may still have G2 privileges. DriveTest recommends planning alternate transportation in case you cannot legally or safely drive.
Make it practical
What to do
Bring a qualified backup driver when there is any uncertainty about licence status, vehicle condition or your emotional state.
Easy to miss
The common trap
Driving upset simply because the rules technically allow it.
Turn knowledge into a habit
How to practise it
Build real highway repetition with a qualified supervisor. Merge, change lanes, follow and exit in different traffic instead of saving the entire experience for one mock test.
When a rule, road sign or examiner instruction conflicts with an internet tip, use the official rule and the safe decision. The internet has many talents; wearing a reflective examiner vest is not one of them.
