Rules-of-the-road preparation
Ontario G1 Rules of the Road Practice
Turn handbook rules into decisions you can apply at intersections, around vulnerable road users, and in changing driving conditions.
- Right-of-way
- Intersections
- Safe driving
- Licence responsibilities
Focus on decisions
Rules questions often describe a situation rather than asking for a definition. Practise identifying who must stop, who must yield, and what action creates the safest legal outcome.
- Controlled and uncontrolled intersections
- Turns, lane changes, and passing
- Sharing the road with pedestrians and cyclists
- Emergencies, weather, and night driving
Explain each answer
After answering, state the rule in your own words and identify the official handbook section that supports it. This reduces guesswork and exposes rules that need another review.

Use these examples to practise identifying the rule and the safest legal action—not just memorizing an answer.
- Sample 1
What does a flashing red traffic light require?
Answer: Come to a complete stop, yield, and proceed only when it is safe.
Treat the signal like a stop sign and check that the intersection is clear before moving.
- Sample 2
What checks should you make before changing lanes?
Answer: Check traffic and mirrors, signal, check the appropriate blind spot, and move only when the gap is safe.
Mirrors do not show every nearby cyclist, motorcycle, pedestrian, or vehicle, so a shoulder check is essential.
- Sample 3
How can you measure a two-second following gap?
Answer: Count two seconds after the vehicle ahead passes a fixed object.
If you reach the object before finishing the count, drop back and repeat the check.
Frequently asked questions
- How many rules questions are available?
- There are 400 active rules-of-the-road questions covering intersections, safe driving, licensing responsibilities, road users, weather, emergencies, and other handbook topics.
- Are rules questions only about memorizing numbers?
- No. Many questions describe a driving situation and ask you to apply right-of-way, observation, signaling, speed, or space-management rules.
- How should I review a missed rules question?
- Read the explanation, state the rule in your own words, and follow the related study-guide link before attempting another mixed simulation.
