I had my G2 Road test today at 9am and ohhh my lord I am soo happy that it is finally over. I didn't sleep AT ALL last night (literally no sleep) and I was really, really nervous. I got out of bed at 7 and went practicing. Guess what? As I was practicing, the automatic steering (I think thats what my boyfriend called it) started to fail!! My boyfriend drives a Pontiac and one of the issues for this car is that this often fails in his specific model. Apparently he got it fixed but it broke today. Basically when I try to turn or park going under 30 miles an hour, its almost impossible to turn the wheel..you literally have to put ALL of your muscle into it and it looks really, really bad; like you don't know how to control your vehicle. However, it only gave me a problem during my parallel park and fortunately it didn't cause too much of an issue. I PASSED!!! So I can officially drive alone, on the highways, at night etc.
For those of you who are about to take your G2 test (also called your G1 Exit test), I did make some small errors (a bit of a wide left turn, forgot my e-brake when parking downhill) but if you really drive with confidence, do frequent mirror and blind spot checks and come to a complete stop at all the appropriate stops, you will pretty much pass. Also, make sure you know how to do an emergency stop (downhill and uphill park too), parallel park and reverse park...even though she didn't have me reverse park, 9/10 people usually have to. Overall it was a really positive experience. And don't forget, if you fail you can retake the test in two weeks..so just practice, practice, practice!!
If anyone needs some tips or has questions about the test, feel free to comment and I will get back to you :)
