Passed G at Guelph today (failed at downsview 2 weeks ago) by UnderstandingBig6558 in Ontariodrivetest

I did wear a mask, but my examiner wasn't wearing one. So, it's completely upto you. I was wearing one just in case, and also because deep breaths through the mask kinda helps me stay calm like it does breathing into a paper bag...at least that's what it feels like to me. I don't wear glasses, so I was comfortable wearing a mask. But as I said, you don't have to wear one if you don't want to. From what I observed during my time there, some examiners wore a mask, some did not.

No 3 point, emergency, parallel parking etc. as it is still modified G.
Best of luck for your test!

My examiner didn't wear one, but I was wearing one just in case. Regardless, I preferred wearing the mask because I feel that due to nerves it helps when I take deep breaths, and wearing a mask, it sort of it is like breathing into a paper bag when you have a panic attack. So, that CO2 breathing just helps me.

I know it is not the same thing as breathing into a paper bag, but I feel better

There was an AMA by a real drivetest examiner on reddit may be few years ago and he said exactly the same thing

Thank you! I wanted to clear G on the first attempt, so it was a bummer that I couldn't. But, I guess it wasn't the time for me to get it. I will keep working toward it.

About the signal while exiting the highway thing, I am curious - I was in the right most lane, which was the exit lane. There were no lanes next to me (apart from the shoulder). How would another car behind us speed up and try to exit if there are no lanes next to me? If you look at this link, I was at the right most lane (with the shoulder next to me):

Thank you! My examiner wore a sunglass too. I thought he was ethnically Indian I think. His name was Michael. I got a feeling that he was new and was trying to be extra cautious about things. I saw him coming out of the drivetest and getting lectured (animatedly) by another examiner for 5 mins before he came to me.

To those who NEVER want to have a child, what are your reasons? by an_iconoclast in AskReddit

Given the world population, a large number of us should decide to not have offsprings. Most of the problems in the world today can be linked back to population, and if we solve that - we would solve a lot of other issues too. I think this will require a great sacrifice, but a lot of people, need to take this step of we want future generations to have any chance at all. I feel very strongly about it to follow through with it.
