Third time? Um... if you didn't get it on the first, let alone the second time, there's nothing we can give advice on.

List what you did wrong the first 2 times.
Or do the opposite of what you did then.

my grandpa failed 3 times and got it on his 4th time, but he is 70, dosent speak any english so when they tell him to do something he dosent understand and he is used to manual cars but the instructer only had auto and back home there are very few rules on the road.....
so if you fail one more time, you are worse than him.... :D

before leaving the parking lot [at the start] you're most likely going to be reversing out. to break the ice, put it into drive, jerk the car forward making it seem like you made a mistake, and laugh it off and properly go to reverse. that's what i did, but mine was completely accidental. but it ws a good thing, b/c i got my first mistake out of the way and i was now able to drive. btw, they don't count it as a error. i passed at downsview. good luck

If you are driving safe, there will be no problem to pass the G test.
I heard from friend's uncle, he is an examinant for the roading test. They usually fail people who has potential causing accident. So drive safe !
The major problem that he told is people usually enter or exit the highway with a wrong speed. Enter with slow speed....exit with overing the speed. Dont make unnecessary lane change during the exam.

You had to get 30 errors on each of those tests to fail. WOW.
I'd study the manual again, Maybe this time you'll get 29 and pass.
Good Luck!!!
I also think it's a money grab, for the Government. They just want your money, so they fail you.

Take your G test (or any road test, for that matter) at Guelph. I heard that the saying is "If you can't pass in Guelph, you can't pass ANYWHERE!"
Good Luck.

29 errors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy shiznit!
i got like 2 errors... mostly "not looking around enough"... yeah whatever... keep looking around and you don't pay attention what's in front of you.
honestly to... read the manual and practice. 29 errors is wayyy too many... stop at a stop sign.

Don't speed up or panic if you have a tailgater behind you.
Make sure you keep turning your head left and right at intersections, and checking your mirrors continuously.
Peripheral vision cannot be 'measured' by the instructor so keep that head moving.
Also, While making a turn from a highway exit, especially if there are two or more lanes; check your blind spots as your turning to ensure no one cuts into your lane.
Good Luck.

get a couple of your friends........ follow ur exam car...... make sure they block all traffic behind you and get rid of all traffic ahead of you...
so, they create a zone of safety circle around your car... so you have less things to worry about

It helps to have a couple of cocktails before the test.
