I have a test tomorrow and haven't the faintest idea of how to get there from downtown Toronto.

My plan was to hit Steeles and just go straight. It's somewhere near York U, correct?

Yeah, you're not even close. York U is on the other side of the city. It's in the East.

Take 401 East, exit Pt. Union Rd. turn left, turn left at first light, turn left at stop sign into the Shoppers Drug Mart plaza. It's in the middle of the Plaza.

Watch those speed bumps in front of Shoppers. You can bottom out a stock car.

Do as he said but go through the stop sign and turn left at the next entrance the test centre is at the end of that entrance. No speed bumps to worry about that way.

Thanks for the help. Once any city or municipality comes into play, I'm all freaked out. I'm usually pretty good at finding places I haven't been to before but I haven't driven the highways since 2000.

This is the way towards Pickering, right? I'll leave a few hours early to be safe should I run into any problems. Thanks again.

Thanks. I should probably get familiar with all the nuances of that place incase I bottom out on my test since I'm a nervous wreck under pressure. Wouldn't surprise me if they go unnoticed during the test.

Anyone driving fast enough in the parking lot to bottom out on a well marked speed bump is going to fail for sure.

You need to relax a little sounds like you are already stressed out. If you can drive no problem. Visit the place several hours before and drive around the area. Maybe watch for a test leaving and follow them to see where they go.

Sound advice. I'm taken notes from others who have tested there in the official G license thread.
