Drive Testing in Windsor, Ontario
Windsor is a mid-sized city of approximately 210,000 people located in southwestern Ontario directly across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan. As the largest city in Essex County and a major automotive manufacturing hub, Windsor is a significant regional centre. The DriveTest Centre on Dougall Avenue serves candidates from Windsor and surrounding Essex County communities.
Windsor offers near-provincial-average pass rates with more challenge apparent in the G2 category.
What to Expect at Windsor DriveTest
The DriveTest Centre is located on Dougall Avenue, one of Windsor’s main thoroughfares. Test routes typically include Dougall Avenue’s commercial sections, surrounding residential neighbourhoods, and potentially other main arterials. With an average duration of approximately 26.5 minutes covering 14.83 kilometres, the Windsor route is moderately long and provides comprehensive assessment of driving skills.
Pass Rates at Windsor DriveTest
Windsor’s pass rates show a notable split between G and G2:
- G Test pass rate: 69% — very close to the provincial average of around 70%
- G2 Test pass rate: 59% — below the provincial average of around 69%
The 10-percentage-point gap (G higher than G2) is significant and suggests that experienced drivers find Windsor’s assessment manageable, but first-time test takers encounter more challenge.

- Sarnia: G 77%, G2 76%
- Windsor: G 69%, G2 59%
- Peterborough: G 69%, G2 62%

-
Dougall Avenue practice. This main commercial street is central to test routes. Practice in both directions, noting signal timing.
-
Residential neighbourhood confidence. Practice smooth, controlled driving on Windsor’s residential streets.
-
G2-specific focus. The 59% G2 pass rate is notably lower than the G rate. If you’re taking your G2 test, prepare especially thoroughly on residential streets and complex manoeuvres.

Recommendation
Windsor is a reasonable option for residents of Essex County. The 69% G pass rate is fair, but the 59% G2 rate indicates G2 candidates should prepare thoroughly.

Prepare well on Dougall Avenue and in Windsor’s diverse neighbourhoods, and you’ll be ready for success.
