Sample questions from this test
At what blood alcohol concentration is a driver aged 21 or older considered under the influence in Georgia?
- A .02 or more
- B .10 or more
- C .08 or more
- D .04 or more
Show answer
C. .08 or more
A driver 21 or older is considered under the influence of alcohol at a BAC of .08 or more. You can still be charged below .08 if alcohol or drugs impair your driving.
Except to briefly pick up or drop off passengers, how close to a fire hydrant may you park in Georgia?
- A No closer than 10 feet
- B No closer than 15 feet
- C No closer than 20 feet
- D No closer than 30 feet
Show answer
B. No closer than 15 feet
Georgia does not allow standing or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, except momentarily to pick up or drop off passengers. Firefighters need quick access to hydrants.

The car ahead passes a telephone pole and you start counting as the Georgia manual describes. You reach the pole just as you finish saying 'one-thousand-one.' What does that tell you?
- A You are at a safe following distance
- B You are safe in daylight but too close at night
- C You are too far back and should close the gap
- D You are following too closely
Show answer
D. You are following too closely
Pick a fixed point; when the car ahead passes it, count 'one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two.' If you pass the point before finishing, you are too close. Leave even more room at night, in bad weather and in heavy traffic.
You hold a Georgia Class C instructional permit. Who must be with you whenever you drive?
- A Any licensed driver aged 18 or older
- B A licensed Class C driver aged 21 or older
- C Any adult aged 21 or older, licensed or not
- D A parent or guardian of any age
Show answer
B. A licensed Class C driver aged 21 or older
A Class CP holder may drive only when accompanied by someone at least 21 who is licensed to drive a Class C vehicle and is fit to take control. The supervisor's experience is what makes permit practice safe.
Your phone is in a dashboard mount. A text message pops up while you are driving. Under Georgia's Hands-Free law, may you read it?
- A Yes, because the phone is in a mount and not in your hand
- B Yes, if the message is from a family member
- C Yes, if you are driving under 25 mph
- D No, reading text-based messages while driving is prohibited
Show answer
D. No, reading text-based messages while driving is prohibited
Georgia's Hands-Free law bans writing, sending or reading any text-based communication, including texts, instant messages, email and internet data, while driving. A mount only means you are not holding the phone; it does not make reading messages legal.
