Questions / G2 road test
Answer first · reviewed August 2026
What if I miss the examiner’s turn?
Missing a direction is usually safer than forcing an unsafe manoeuvre. Continue legally and let the examiner redirect you.
Make it practical
What to do
If an instruction is unclear, ask for it to be repeated. The test measures driving, not psychic navigation.
Easy to miss
The common trap
Braking hard or cutting across a lane to prove you heard the instruction.
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.
