Ontarians preparing for their final G-class licence road test may no longer need to prove they can make a three-point turn, execute a parallel parking manoeuvre, or perform an emergency roadside stop.
This is part of a temporary plan by the Ontario government to simplify the G-level road test in efforts to reduce a major backlog in testing, primarily caused by pandemic-related restrictions and closures.
