Common G2 Mistakes in Ontario and How to Correct Them

Most repeated mistakes share one root problem: inconsistent routine under pressure. Here is a practical correction map.

Mistake 1: Rolling stop

Correction cue: "Brake-hold-one-count." Practice legal first stop, then creep only for visibility.

Mistake 2: No shoulder check

Correction cue: "Signal, mirror, shoulder, move." Keep wheel stable during checks.

Mistake 3: Late signal

Correction cue: "Signal before decision point." Give clear warning before action.

Mistake 4: Stop past line

Correction cue: "See the line while stopped." Brake earlier with progressive pressure.

Mistake 5: Wide right turn

Correction cue: "Slow first, steer early enough." Enter from correct lane position.

Mistake 6: Unsafe gap selection

Correction cue: "If unsure, wait." Score consistency improves when you reject marginal gaps.

Mistake 7: Speed inconsistency

Correction cue: "Scan signs, small pedal changes." Avoid late harsh corrections.

Mistake 8: Wrong lane after turn

Correction cue: "Pick receiving lane before turning." Stabilize, then lane-change if needed.

Weekly plan

• Day 1-2: stop and lane-change drills
• Day 3-4: turning and speed control
• Day 5: full mock + notes

The goal is dependable driving behavior, not route memorization.
