Lesson only. Test car not included.

View 5 Hour Package5 Hour + Road Test
$400+ HST
Includes prep + test vehicle support.
Best if your G2 or G test is coming and you need Ontario correction plus Parkway vehicle support on test day.
View 5 Hour + Road TestImportant: A road test car does not fix unfamiliar Ontario driving habits. If observation, parking, lane changes, winter driving, signs, or test pressure still feel weak, book correction first. Use car-only support only when you are already prepared.
Driving experience helps, but Ontario habits may still need correction.
Many newcomers can control a vehicle. The missing piece is often local rules, observation expectations, road signs, winter conditions, examiner standards, or confidence in unfamiliar traffic.
Ontario road habits may differ
Right-of-way, stop signs, school zones, speed limits, lane positioning, and signs may require adjustment.
Examiners watch details
Mirror checks, blind spots, lane changes, parking setup, spacing, and smooth decisions matter during G2 and G tests.
Peterborough feels new
Downtown streets, intersections, winter roads, parking lots, and test pressure can feel different even for experienced drivers.
Licence Rules
Lessons help your driving. Official licence rules must be checked separately.
Newcomers may have different licence situations depending on country, province, documents, driving history, and Ontario eligibility. Parkway can help with driving skills and general direction, but official licence exchange and testing rules should be confirmed with DriveTest, ServiceOntario, or Ontario government sources.
Road Test Coming?
Choose road test prep if your G2 or G test is booked.
If your test is already booked, the lesson plan should include test expectations, pressure, and vehicle support if needed. Do not book lesson-only if you need Parkway's vehicle on test day.

Parkway can give general direction, but official licence exchange and eligibility questions should be confirmed with DriveTest, ServiceOntario, or Ontario government sources.
Can newcomers prepare for G2 or G road tests?
Yes. Lessons can focus on G2 or G expectations, including observation, lane changes, parking, intersections, highway driving, and test pressure.
