Questions / G2 road test
Answer first · reviewed August 2026
Is parallel parking always on the G2 test?
Parallel parking is a testable skill, but the exact manoeuvres sampled can vary. Be prepared for parallel or reverse parking and do not gamble on a particular route report.
Make it practical
What to do
Use several spaces and vehicles as references. Learn safe setup and correction rather than one magic steering count.
Easy to miss
The common trap
Believing one centre ‘never asks’ and arriving with a skill you have avoided.
Turn knowledge into a habit
How to practise it
Practise the skill on several unfamiliar roads until you can perform it safely without a prompt. The route can change; the habit must travel with you.
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.
