Do Ontario tests really not take you onto real street?!?!?Taking a test on these parking lots these days does not give the testers a true view how a driver can drive in real traffic conditions.
My test was in Quebec ... a quarter-century ago. It was always on real streets, once you survived the unnecessary, but still there stop signs in the parking lot for the test centre.
Not sure I can say much really though, because I don't think I actually knew how to parallel park at the time ... but the day I tested, was what was then the biggest ice storm anyone had ever seen in Montreal (which pales to what happened in 1998) ... so if you were brave enough to show up for your test, and safely got the car around the block with all the failed lights and stuck cars ... then you got your licence without having to do the 3-point turn and parallel parking, that weren't possible anywhere that day ... also given Montreal drivers seem to not be able to use signals ...
Your observations sound like a typical well-designed roundabout constructed in Ontario in the last decade. What are you seeing that's different here than other roundabouts?Further to the comments above, I agree that the yield sign is not doing the trick.
I watched the DoY roundabout for about 45 minutes on Saturday and came away with the following observations:
