If your language isn’t on the list

You can take the test with a foreign-language interpreter or a sign-language interpreter, but you have to make an appointment at a DriveTest Centre first. The same goes if you want a staff member to read the test to you.

If you take the test on a computer, it can also read the questions aloud. Just ask for headphones before you go into the test room.

Road tests work differently

Translators can’t ride along on the G2 or G road test. Only you and the examiner are in the car. The examiner gives directions as you drive, so make sure you can follow spoken instructions like turns, lane changes and where to stop.
