Canotek Drivers Test Ottawa

My license is expiring soon, so I really need to take this test, but I'm not sure where to take it. I'm closest to Walkley, but I had a bad time there getting my G2, and I'm wondering if I might be better off going to Canotek or even Smiths Falls. I'm a much better driver now than when I failed at Walkey, but I'm still worried that I might get nervous being back there. I'm just curious what other people's experiences have been like getting their G at Walkley and Canotek (or even Smiths Falls).

Step 1: Get G1 Driver's Licence. Go to a local DriveTest Centre: 1. Ottawa Walkley: 1570 Walkley Road, Ottawa, ON K1V 6P5 2. Ottawa Canotek: 5303 Canotek Rd., Unit 14, Ottawa, ON K1J 9M1 (Only offer: G2,G Test). Vision Test: Applicants will be tested for visual acuity and horizontal visual field (peripheral vision).

Any tips on what to be careful for would be appreciated too. EDIT: Thanks for the responses. I booked a road test at Canotek, but it sounds like Walkley would've been fine, too. Not sure why this got downvoted so much. I wasn't looking for an easy way out, I just wanted to pick a place where I'd get stressed out the least, since I get really nervous when tested. Like most licensing tests that are designed for the masses these tests are REALLY easy. Allok Video Splitter Full Version Free Download here.

Even when people just barely pass they should really think about if driving is something they should be doing. When I hear people talk about failing multiple times I just wish we had a series of tests where if you fail the first time, each successive test would become more difficult. And don't get me started on all the driving schools not actually teaching people how to drive but just how to pass the test. I could qualify for my G anywhere, but I get really nervous when being tested and my license is going to expire soon. I'd probably be fine taking the test wherever, but I'd rather not underestimate my ability to do something stupid under pressure and then have my license expire before I can take the test again.

I suppose I could've phrased my original question better but I really just wanted to know if one place had more traffic than another, had an unposted speed limit, or something else that might make one test centre more 'difficult'. The calm, frequent driver me isn't the same as the sweating, shaky, nervous me that comes out when being tested.

Get your G at Walkley, 9:00 AM appointment. If you've done a U-turn on Walkley and driven on the Airport Parkway before, it's easy. It's right after morning rush hour traffic.

My tester was an asshole. When I repeated his instructions back to him he got really angry at me, and told me to accelerate when I was near young children playing with a ball in the street (I wanted to slow down in case a child ran out across the street).

And even though he was a giant asshole who raged like a League of Legends player, I passed. I did mine in smiths falls, since its just as far to there for me as walkley. Nice small town attitude. The woman who tested me also does all the exams for the semi trucks. She was professional, but I spooked the first time she wrote something and stopped doing right shoulder checks to avoid looking at her. Aced everything else, but she told me to head back right before all my demerits were gone because she knew what my problem was. Glad I didn't have to do it again.

Check your mirrors constantly!! Do it at Walkley if you can't do it in a remote area (Winchester, Smith's Falls, etc). The thing about Walkley is that all speed limits on the roads near the MTO are 50 KM/h except for the stretch near the 417 and airport parkway. With Canotek, you have varying speed limits. While I'm not an instructor, I've got about 8 of my friends/family members through the test because Walkley is pretty predictable.

The fact that all the speed limits are the same helps you to focus on the real stuff they care about. And yes, make sure the appointment is around 9:30 or so (after all the school busses are gone and the traffic is decent).

Giving your kid tips on passing their driving test? Why not start with the top reasons they might fail?

Tim Danter owns the DriveWise school in Oakville, Ont. He’s prepared thousands of teenagers for their roadway rite of passage. Additionally, he carries out assessments for corporate fleets of drivers of all ages, getting a front row seat to how our driving improves as we age – and how it deteriorates. Parallel parking: Eavesdrop on a roomful of 18-year-olds discussing their final road test, and you’ll hear a lot of talk about parallel parking. This was the bugaboo when I was getting my test; surely it’s a myth?

“No, you mess up the parallel parking badly enough, you’ll flunk your test,” according to Danter. “It’s about positioning, but it’s also about jumping the curb or not having control of the vehicle as you back up.” Dangerous action: “If the examiner has to take physical or verbal control of the car, that’s a fail,” says Danter. If you’ve pulled out in front of a car or made a dangerous lane change, you’ll be rebooking. Sure-fire way to know if you’ve screwed up? “If you get honked at; getting honked at is not a good sign.” Lack of confidence: Danter says many learning drivers think by driving under the speed limit or hesitating too long at intersections, they’ll be exhibiting a caution that will be rewarded. They’re wrong.
