Questions / G road test

Answer first · reviewed August 2026

What is the correct lane-change sequence for the G test?

Short answer

Check mirrors, signal, check the blind spot, confirm the gap and move smoothly while maintaining appropriate speed. Reassess because traffic can change during the sequence.

Make it practical

What to do

Practise on progressively busier roads until the checks and steering are one coordinated action.

Easy to miss

The common trap

Signalling as a request for permission and moving before the gap is actually safe.

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.
