What is the Ontario G1 Practice Test?

What’s in the G1 Practice Test?
The test covers traffic signs, traffic lights, speed limits, sharing the road, emergency vehicles and other rules of the road from the Official MTO Driver’s Handbook. For the current test format and pass mark, check DriveTest.
In addition to this, there is also a vision test that you have to clear. The practice test is available online and can be taken at your convenience. The test is based on the current Official MTO Driver’s Handbook and covers the following topics
