Owen Sound DriveTest Centre is located at 107 Jason St, Unit 1, Owen Sound ON N4K 5N7 (Spring Mount Business Park). The centre serves Owen Sound and Grey County.
The route uses 10th St (Hwy 6/10) as the main corridor along with 9th Ave E, 16th St, and 2nd Ave E, with residential streets for parking and the 3-point turn. Owen Sound's hilly terrain is relevant for hill parking — practise this beforehand. The G test uses Hwy 6/10 (no 400-series locally). No reliable pass rate data has been found for this centre.
Before visiting Owen Sound DriveTest Centre, make sure you have the required documents and payment. Requirements vary by test type but typically include two pieces of government-issued ID, proof of Ontario residency, and the test fee. For road tests, bring a roadworthy vehicle with valid plates, registration, and insurance.

G2 & G Test Route Guide
DriveTest and the MTO do not publish official routes — the maps and steps below reflect roads commonly used near the Owen Sound centre based on the local road network and test-taker reports. Study aid only.
Exit Spring Mount Business Park onto local roads toward 10th St E (Hwy 6/10) — main corridor through Owen Sound
10th St E to 9th Ave E — arterial cross-street; river-crossing bridge area; watch for bridge approaches
16th St E / 2nd Ave E area — residential streets with grades; hill parking, parallel park, 3-point turn, stop-sign compliance
Return to 107 Jason St
Key Skills to Practise
Hills and grades — Owen Sound is hilly; practise hill starts and hill parking (turn wheels correctly, apply parking brake).
10th St corridor traffic — mixed commercial and through traffic; maintain lane discipline.
River-crossing bridges — reduce speed approaching bridge approaches; yield to oncoming traffic on single-lane bridges if applicable.
Note (late 2025): The G road test is temporarily modified and currently does not include highway driving at this centre. The highway section below describes the standard G test, for when it resumes.
Route Steps (surface roads + highway)
All G2 surface roads above (10th St → 9th Ave → 16th St → residential)
On-ramp to Hwy 6/10 at 16th St — build to highway speed; Hwy 6/10 is not a 400-series but runs at 80–90 km/h south of Owen Sound
Highway run with lane changes; return via 10th St
Key Skills to Practise
Hwy 6/10 merge (G only) — accelerate to the posted speed (80–90 km/h) before merging; a calmer highway than 400-series.
Highway lane changes — signal, mirrors, blind-spot check, maintain speed.
Off-ramp exit — move right well in advance; decelerate on the ramp only.
How should I prepare for hilly terrain at the Owen Sound DriveTest Centre? +
Owen Sound has notable elevation changes — practise hill starts (build engine torque before releasing the brake), hill parking (wheels turned to the curb when facing downhill, away when uphill, parking brake always applied), and steady speed management on grades. These skills are commonly tested on the local route.
What should I watch for on 10th St and the bridge approaches? +
10th St E (Hwy 6/10) has commercial traffic and signal-controlled intersections throughout the city. Some approaches near the Sydenham River have bridge sections where you should maintain lane position and reduce speed as needed. Head-checks before lane changes and early signalling are critical through this corridor.
Does the Owen Sound G test use Hwy 6/10? +
Yes — the standard G test at Owen Sound includes Hwy 6/10 south of the city (80–90 km/h). It is a quieter rural highway than 400-series routes but the merge and lane-change technique is the same. As of late 2025 this is temporarily suspended; verify the current format at drivetest.ca when you book.
Where do I park at 107 Jason St, Owen Sound? +
The centre is in Spring Mount Business Park at 107 Jason St, Unit 1. There is a small lot on site. Allow extra time to locate the building on your first visit — it is in an industrial and business area off the main arterials.
