Georgia Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Fines up to $1,000, jail up to 12 months, and mandatory license suspension

Penalties for driving under the influence are severe — fines up to $1,000, jail sentences up to 12 months, and mandatory suspension of your driving privileges.

Correct answer: $10.00

The test fee is $10.00 and must be paid prior to testing. If any part is failed, no refund is issued, and the fee must be paid again before every retake attempt.

Correct answer: It obstructs traffic and blocks the paths other drivers need to turn and cross

Stopping, standing, or parking within an intersection is prohibited at all times — a stopped vehicle there blocks turning and crossing traffic and creates a serious hazard.

Correct answer: Send for professional help and avoid moving the victim unless absolutely necessary

Send for professional help as soon as possible and do not move or lift an injured person unless absolutely necessary — unskilled handling can cause further injury. Control serious bleeding with pressure and keep the victim warm.

Correct answer: Slow to a safe speed, be prepared to stop, and proceed only when safe

At a yield sign, slow to a safe speed and be prepared to stop. Stop if necessary, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

Correct answer: Not driving so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlights light up

Do not overdrive your headlights — never travel so fast that your stopping distance is greater than the distance illuminated by your headlights.

Correct answer: Pass in an adjacent lane and not occupy the same lane as the motorcycle

A motorcyclist legally occupies the full width of a lane. When passing, move into an adjacent lane; you may not share the motorcyclist’s lane while passing.

Correct answer: A school zone and/or school crossing

Pentagon-shaped signs mean you are approaching a school zone and/or school crossing. They are sometimes fluorescent green and are placed in advance of the school grounds.

Correct answer: The maximum under ideal conditions — slow down when conditions are poor

Posted limits are maximums for ideal conditions. In rain, fog, heavy traffic, or other poor conditions you must reduce your speed for safe operation.

Correct answer: The far left lane of your direction, or the turn lane if one is provided

For a left turn, move into the far left lane of your direction of travel (or the provided turning lane) and keep your wheels straight until you begin the turn.

Correct answer: Submit to state-administered chemical tests of your blood, breath, urine, or other substances

Georgia law requires you to submit to state-administered chemical tests of blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substances to determine if you are under the influence.

Correct answer: A Class M license

Operating a motorcycle in Georgia requires a Class M license. A Class C license alone does not authorize you to ride a motorcycle.

Correct answer: 15 feet

Stopping to load or unload passengers is permitted only momentarily, and never within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.

Correct answer: Protects a person from civil liability for acts or omissions in rendering emergency care

Georgia’s Good Samaritan Law holds a person harmless for civil damages arising from any act or omission in rendering emergency care at a crash.

Correct answer: Stop and yield to all pedestrians and vehicles already on the roadway or sidewalk

Before entering or crossing a highway from an alley, private road, or driveway, you must stop and yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians and vehicles already traveling on the roadway or sidewalk you are entering.

Correct answer: Using the edge line — or the center line if there is none — as a guide

When visibility is greatly reduced, use the edge line as a guide to hold your lane; if there is no edge line, use the center line.

Correct answer: Three or four seconds, so the rider has room to maneuver or stop

Allow three or four seconds of following distance behind a motorcycle. Riders may slow or change position suddenly to avoid road hazards, and extra space gives you time to react.

Correct answer: The action shown in the circle is prohibited

A red circle with a slash from upper left to lower right means "No." The picture inside the circle shows exactly what is prohibited.

Correct answer: Local conditions, whether temporary or permanent

The general limits are only default rules. Local jurisdictions, GDOT, or the Department of Public Safety may adjust limits for local conditions, temporarily or permanently — so always watch for signs.

Correct answer: Cannot change lanes within the intersection

Once you have entered an intersection to make a left turn, you cannot change lanes within the intersection. Complete the turn into the proper lane.
