1. You are approaching a multilane roundabout. When should you choose your lane?
Show answer
Answer C: Before you enter, using the lane-choice sign on the approach
You select your lane on the approach the way you would at any multilane intersection, then stay in that lane all the way around, because changing lanes inside a roundabout creates side-impact conflicts.
-
2. Who is responsible for producing proof of insurance in Georgia?
Show answer
Answer A: The driver, whoever owns the vehicle
Georgia places the duty on the person behind the wheel: it does not matter who owns the vehicle, and the driver must be able to show valid insurance.
-
3. What happens in Georgia if a driver submits to the state test and the result is at or above the legal limit?
Show answer
Answer D: The driving privilege may be suspended for a minimum of one year
Georgia's implied consent notice warns that a result at or above the legal limit may bring a suspension of at least one year, just as a refusal does.
-
4. After an hour on a hot highway your tire pressure reads higher than it did in the morning. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Nothing, because pressure rises when tires heat up
Air expands as the tire warms, so a hot reading is normally above the cold setting. Bleeding air off would leave the tire underinflated once it cooled.
-
5. What fine does Georgia set for a driver who causes a crash or blocks traffic while failing to comply with the Move Over requirements?
Show answer
Answer A: Up to $1,000
Beyond the first offense maximum of $500, Georgia allows a fine of up to $1,000 where the failure causes a crash or blocks the flow of traffic.
-
6. As a driver keeps drinking, in what order are driving abilities usually lost?
Show answer
Answer C: Judgment, then vision, reaction time and coordination
Alcohol reaches the parts of the brain that handle judgment first, and only later does it visibly affect sight, reactions and muscle control.
-
7. What does the Hands Free Georgia Law prohibit while driving on a highway of the state?
Show answer
Answer A: Holding or supporting a wireless telecommunications device with any part of the body
Georgia forbids holding or supporting a wireless device with any part of the body, so phones may only be used with headphones, a wireless device, a holder or a mounted device.
-
8. What is the what if habit of a defensive driver?
Show answer
Answer C: Thinking through what you would do if a hazard ahead of you turned bad
Rehearsing an answer before the hazard develops means you act at once instead of spending time deciding.
-
9. What kind of helmet does Georgia require a motorcyclist to wear?
Show answer

-
11. An overhead lane-use control signal shows a steady red X above your lane. What does it mean?
Show answer
Answer B: You may not use that lane and must move out of it
A steady red X means the lane below it is closed to you, while a steady yellow X is the warning to prepare to vacate the lane and a downward green arrow means the lane is open.
-
12. What does research say about the effect of a full coverage helmet on a rider's ability to see and hear traffic?
Show answer
Answer B: It leaves the view and the useful hearing a rider needs largely intact
Certified helmets leave far more peripheral vision than a rider needs to check traffic, and riders wearing them still hear the sounds that matter.
-
13. The light ahead is green but traffic beyond the intersection is backed up. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Wait behind the intersection until there is room to clear it completely
You may not enter an intersection unless you can get completely through it, because stopping inside blocks cross traffic when the signal changes.
-
14. Many signs use a symbol instead of words. The main advantage is that a symbol
Show answer
Answer C: can be read from farther away and by more people
A symbol is recognized at greater distance than a line of text and does not depend on the reader knowing English.
-
15. The leader of a group wants to pull the whole group out from a side road into busy traffic. What should the leader do?
Show answer
Answer B: Wait for a gap long enough for every rider in the group to enter
A leader who takes a gap that only fits one machine leaves the rest of the group either stranded or tempted to pull out in front of traffic.
-
16. Why can a mild afternoon still chill a rider dangerously on the highway?
Show answer
Answer B: Riding speed creates a wind chill well below the air temperature
Air moving over the body at highway speed strips heat far faster than still air, so a comfortable temperature at a standstill can cause serious chilling in an hour of riding.
-
17. When should a staggered group change to single file?
Show answer
Answer C: In curves, in turns, and when entering or leaving a highway
Curves, turns and highway entrances and exits require the full width of the lane, so the group rides single file at those points.
-
18. What is the minimum vision Georgia accepts for a noncommercial driver's license?
Show answer
Answer B: 20/60 in one eye, with or without corrective lenses, and a horizontal field of at least 140 degrees

Show answer
Answer C: Eight years
Georgia issues a standard driver's license for an eight-year term, while the Class D provisional license runs on a shorter term.
-
20. A car is coming straight at you in your lane and there is no time for it to move back. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Brake, sound the horn and steer to the right, toward the shoulder or ditch
Steering right takes you away from the other vehicle even if its driver corrects course, and the shoulder or ditch is survivable.
-
21. The car ahead drifts across the lane line and back again several times. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Assume that the driver is distracted or impaired, and keep well back
Drifting is a classic sign of a distracted, drowsy or impaired driver, and distance is your protection from all three.
-
22. You are stopped at a stop sign where your road ends at a two-way through street and you plan to turn left. What must you yield to?
Show answer
Answer B: Traffic from both directions and any pedestrians crossing
A left turn from the stem of a T crosses the near lane and joins the far one, so you give way to traffic in both directions and to pedestrians.
-
23. How long does Georgia hold security or a bond posted under the Safety Responsibility Law?
Show answer
Answer C: One year at a minimum
Security or a bond deposited with DDS under the Safety Responsibility Law is held for at least one year.
-
24. What does a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 mean for the driver of a car?
Show answer
Answer B: It is the level almost every state treats as legally intoxicated
In almost every state a driver at 0.08 or above is legally intoxicated whatever the driver seems like, but impairment starts well before that level is reached.
-
25. What is the reinstatement fee after a third suspension for points in Georgia?

27. You are waiting to pull out of a driveway when a bicyclist comes along the bike lane in front of you. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Wait until the bicyclist has gone past
A driver leaving a driveway yields to everything already on the road, and a bike lane is part of the roadway.
-
28. Rain has been falling steadily for half an hour. How does traction compare with the first minutes of the shower?
Show answer
Answer C: It usually improves somewhat, because the early oil film has washed away
Rain floats oil and dust to the top at first, so the road is most slippery in the early minutes, and a longer downpour rinses much of that film away. The pavement is still wet and grips less than when it is dry.
-
29. A large truck ahead of you swings toward the left just before turning right at an intersection. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Stay back and never try to move into the gap between the truck and the curb
Long vehicles need extra room and often swing wide to complete a right turn, so the space that opens on their right closes again as the trailer sweeps through it.
-
30. A truck ahead of you is spreading salt or grit on the road. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Drop back so the material does not reach your car
Spreaders throw material backward and sideways, and following close means stone chips and a screen full of spray, so leave extra distance.
-
31. What is the maximum fine for a first offense violation of the Georgia Move Over Law?
Show answer
Answer D: No more than $500
Georgia sets a first offense fine of no more than $500 for failing to comply with the Move Over Law.
-
32. Another driver has pulled out to pass you. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Stay in your lane, keep your speed steady or ease off, and let the pass finish
Accelerating while being passed forces the other driver to stay in the opposing lane longer, so the safe response is to hold or slightly reduce speed and stay right.
-
33. How many points does Georgia add for failing to yield to a construction vehicle?
Show answer
Answer B: Three points
Failure to yield to a construction vehicle under code section 40-6-75 carries three points in Georgia.
-
34. A school crossing guard has returned to the curb but two children are still walking across the road. When may you go?
Show answer
Answer C: Only after the children have reached the far sidewalk
The guard leaving the road does not end your duty; you stay stopped until every child is clear of the roadway.
-
35. A large truck is passing you on a two-lane road. What is the safest thing to do?
Show answer
Answer C: Keep right in your lane and ease off the gas a little
Staying in your own lane and easing off shortens the pass without forcing you onto a soft shoulder or into the truck's path.
-
36. What additional requirement does Georgia place on license holders aged 64 and over?

Answer A: A vision screening every eight years
Georgia requires customers who are 64 and over to complete a vision screening successfully every eight years.

-
38. Why is a shoulder check especially important on a road with motorcycles and bicycles?
Show answer
Answer D: A narrow vehicle can disappear completely in the blind spot
A motorcycle or a bicycle is small enough to be hidden entirely by a door pillar or by the blind spot the mirrors do not cover.
-
39. What does Georgia charge in person for a Class C, E, F or M license?
Show answer
Answer B: $32
Georgia charges $32 in person for a standard class license, the same price it charges for a Georgia identification card.
-
40. You are traveling beside another vehicle on a multilane highway at nearly the same speed. Why is this a poor position?
Show answer
Answer B: You may be sitting in that driver's blind spot with nowhere to go if they move over
Driving alongside removes your side escape route and often puts you where the other driver cannot see you. Speed up or drop back to open space beside you.
