Failed G test in Burlington
I feel really discouraged today after my G test. I had practiced for months and passed my G2 perfectly two years ago, so I truly thought I was ready. The test started well, but on the first highway ramp I reached 100 km/h and tried to merge. A car beside me was going faster, so I told the examiner I would speed up to merge safely.
My anxiety took over, and I accelerated too much—up to 117 km/h. I had never faced that exact situation in training, and I reacted poorly. The examiner said it was a major violation and that I should have slowed down instead. I tried to explain that the gap behind the other car felt too small, but she didn’t agree.
The rest of the test was fine, but that one mistake cost me the pass. I fully accept responsibility, and I’m sharing this so others can learn from it. I really regret how I handled that moment.
