g2 test

[lcdps3]

not that i use it, but i was wondering if you could use cruise control during your examination. i checked around and noone seems to have answered it.

it would make the test so much easier if you can just set your speed and then focus on 'putting on a show' for the testers (observation).

i would also like to know this...
but i wouldn't think sooo, considered cheating??

[Baseball_Boy]

I highly doubt it.

You're too nervous.

Where would you use cruise control? Not on the highway, because you don't go on the highway until the G test. And cruise is not meant to be used on city streets, you are chanding speed too often.

You will probably fail if they see you touch your cruise.

Maybe he means G2 exit.

[lcdps3]

ya i meant exit test.
i was just wondering because i never use it anyways.

The whole point of the test is to see YOU in full control of your vehicle of all times, that obviously includes speed.

Just drive without it. I finally took my G2 exit test after having my G2 for almost 4 years lol. You're on the highway for like one exit, so the time you'll be spending with CC is less than 2mins.

unless you're riding on the highway for almost an hour i the same lane doing 110-120..theres no need for cruise control.

[lcdps3]

alright now i have a real problem.

i have a car but no insurance on it. do they check for anything like that?

i know they ask for the plate number but do they ask for anything else?

No, don't worry about it. Just make sure your left and right signal works.

No, don't worry about it. Just make sure your left and right signal works.

Don't forget your brake lights as well. My examiner also wanted to hear the horn :D

[JAGpilot]

What about if you have a car which has a clustered speedometer (cant see from the passenger side) aka Mazada 3 or Toyota Matrix?

You are not allowed to use cruise control during any driving test. Use it and it's an automatic failure. The whole point is to demonstrate that you know how to control the vehicle and adapt to conditions.

For the G2 road test you don't need to and you are not allowed to use cruise because you are not going on the highway. Don't ever use cruise control in urban traffic. For the G test, you are going on the highway but again cruise control is not permitted. The examiner will usually tell you this before the test begins.

When you drive on the highway, you have to drive the speed limit (100 kms), provided the conditions permit you to drive at this speed and you also have to maintain this speed all by yourself. They do give a small amount of "headroom" if you happen to go just a tad over 100 (usually up to 5 km/h). If you fail to maintain constant speed if conditions permit, you will be penalized. However, unless you do something really stupid, that penalty should not fail you provided you've done everything else ok. Driving below the limit on the highway will almost certainly get you failed because you're impeding traffic.

When they take you on the highway, they will also ask you to change lanes at least twice or three times. ALWAYS check the blind spots when doing so and don't ever cut someone off.

I know this may sound like a lot, however I've found their tests to be laughably easy compared to European standards.

More or less bang on.

In regards to speed, anymore than 5 km/h over/under the speed limit is an automatic fail.
