Hawkesbury is a border town situated right on the Quebec provincial line. You will deal with heavy inter-provincial commercial traffic and bilingual signage.
The routes balance quiet, older residential streets with the extremely fast-paced County Road 17, which functions like a major regional highway.
Expect an environment where local drivers are often aggressive and fast-paced, testing your ability to maintain your own legal speed without bowing to peer pressure.
Speeding on County Road 17 transitions. Students entering the town limits from the 80 km/h zones fail to drop their speed to 50 km/h early enough.
Improper lane changes. The aggressive nature of the local cross-border traffic causes students to rush their blind spot checks, resulting in a dangerous merge.
Rolling stops in the quiet residential grids. Treating 4-way stops as yields because there are no other cars around is an immediate automatic failure.
When transitioning from County Road 17 into the town limits, you must physically be at 50 km/h *before* your vehicle passes the speed limit sign.
Do not let aggressive trailing drivers rush you. If you are doing the speed limit and someone is tailgating you, ignore them. Speeding up to appease them will fail you.
Exaggerate every single shoulder check. The examiners here want to see deliberate, obvious safety checks before you move the steering wheel.
A popular alternative to Ottawa for Eastern Ontario students. Stay disciplined with your speed management, as local traffic will constantly try to push you faster.
