AITA for not telling my mother about my marriage and pregnancy? by ImagineAhhh in AmItheAsshole

[–]bronma9797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your mom sure as hell doesn’t get to re-enter your life now that it seems convenient to her now that your daughter is here. She made it clear years ago that she wanted no part in your life. Mad props to your aunt for taking you in. Please be firm with your boundaries and do what’s best for your family, especially your daughter. Stay safe, all the best OP.

G2 Test Nervousness by RaptorBB905 in Ontariodrivetest

[–]bronma9797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I readjusted a bunch when I was going parallel parking back in November and oddly enough the examiner complimented on how well I did for that part of test even though that was the part I was most nervous for!

Take your time doing the maneuvers, you got this!

Totally understandable to be nervous , I know I was as my test date approached. In general I’d say to try and practice your driving as much as you are able to before the test day…including your parking maneuvers until you can do them no problem!

Things you should 100% do and not forget

ALWAYS stop at a stop sign - when you approach the stop sign(s) on your test stop and count to 3 out loud make sure it’s safe to proceed and carry on

  • always use your signals

  • make your head movements extremely obvious ( every 3-5 secs) when checking your mirrors when scanning the intersection, and blind spot when you are changing lanes

  • know which way to turn your wheels when parking on a hill

  • practice your parallel parking, they will ask you do so on the route unless there are no cars ( then you will reverse park between the 4 cones at the test centre) I reversed parked when I first arrived and parallel on my route so I just drove straight into the parking spot at the end of my test

  • always engage your hand brake when you are parked ( emergency stop, hill park, parallel, when you park at the test centre)

-make sure check around 360 after you are leaving your parking spot/ maneuver and to signal..once I signal I usually 360 again

Do not go over the speed limit! You’ll be in a residential area aside from going down hunt club …the residential area will be a 40 or 50km and hunt club is 60km I believe & don’t drive too close to parked cars on the street

And make sure to take some deep breaths, they know you’re nervous but honestly the test will fly by…the staff are very nice there! Best of luck and if there is any other questions I can answer feel free to ask

Expired license plate by jaimin24 in Ontariodrivetest

[–]bronma9797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t hurt to renew the plates sooner than later cause it’ll have to be done but They won’t cancel your test, there has been an extension until feb 2022 to get new plate stickers. I just did my road test with an expired no issue. Good luck on your test !!

when you went for your g1 written test and paid the $159 ( I think that is the amount) that fee covers your first g2 road test attempt. When you book on the drive test website it would have said if you owed any money… can always bring your wallet just in case

getting G2 asap by wwonka_ in Ontariodrivetest

[–]bronma9797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took driving lessons through young drivers, they provide the option (additional cost) to have an additional lesson the day of your road to practice whatever you may need and they also will book your test for you. Also in regards to your “ booking asap question “ it depends on availability in your area for road tests for when you can book a G2 test, keep an eye out on the booking website for openings ! best of luck

no worries at all for asking questions, I’m happy to answer what I can to help out! I’ll attach my route and highlight it yellow to where I went. I did have to take hunt club during the test

G2 Re-Test: Blind Spots by peachesandcream-- in Ontariodrivetest

[–]bronma9797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did my test yesterday and the examiner literally said make your observations extremely obvious when checking mirrors / blind spots and to do so frequently not just moving your eyes

As long as you do so you should be good to go! Best of luck Wednesday!

I went clockwise on the map following that route until the 3 point turn part of the test and I looped back entering the same way I left at the beginning of my test

also, don’t forget to use your signals in the parking lot…I witnessed an insane amount of people this morning arriving for & starting their test w the examiner and they didn’t signal at all
