Driving Test Preparation in Oshawa, Ontario
Oshawa is the largest city in Durham Region and a major automotive manufacturing centre. The DriveTest centre serving Oshawa is located in nearby Whitby on Consumers Drive. Driving in Oshawa involves navigating a mix of urban streets, industrial areas, and major arterials like King Street, Simcoe Street, and Highway 2. Oshawa has a large working-class community and many new drivers preparing for their G1 knowledge test. The city's road network includes many school zones and pedestrian crossings.
Whether you're a new immigrant, a teenager getting your first licence, or someone who moved to Oshawa from another province or country, Ontario's Graduated Licensing System (GLS) applies to you. The process starts with the G1 knowledge test — a 40-question written exam at a DriveTest centre — followed by the G2 road test and finally the G full licence test.
G1 Knowledge Test in Oshawa — What to Expect
The G1 practice test Oshawa drivers need to prepare for is a 40-question multiple-choice exam. It covers two sections:
20 Road Sign Questions
Regulatory signs, warning signs, information signs, and construction zone signs. You need 16/20 (80%) to pass this section.
20 Rules of the Road Questions
Speed limits, right-of-way, school bus laws, alcohol/drug rules, and safe driving practices. You need 16/20 (80%) to pass this section.
Important: You must pass both sections independently. Passing one section but failing the other means you fail the entire test and must rebook after 10 days.

School zones in residential areas — Oshawa has many elementary and secondary schools; watch for 40 km/h zones during school hours.
