Georgia Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is the lane next to you and the far lane.

Before changing lanes, you should check not only the lane next to you but the far lane as well. Someone from the far lane may be planning to merge into the same lane that you are.

Not quite. The answer is remain in first gear.

While you're stopped at a stop sign, your motorcycle should remain in first gear so you can start off easily again.

Not quite. The answer is stop

Treat a flashing red light like a stop sign. That is, come to a complete stop and then yield the right-of-way before proceeding.

Not quite. The answer is one

Your riding abilities can be affected after just one alcoholic drink. There is no safe amount of alcohol to consume.

Not quite. The answer is No.

This sign indicates that parking is prohibited here between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Not quite. The answer is You are approaching a right turn.

This sign accompanies a route marker sign. It means that you must soon turn right to enter or continue on that route.

Not quite. The answer is is the best form of face and eye protection.

Under Georgia law, every motorcyclist and passenger must wear eye protection of a type approved by the Georgia Commissioner of Public Safety unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield. A face shield is the best form of face and eye protection because it protects your whole face and will not fly off in the wind.

Not quite. The answer is Fluorescent clothing

During daytime riding, wear fluorescent clothing to increase your visibility to other vehicle operators.

Not quite. The answer is Slow down and swerve left around the turning vehicle

Vehicles turning left in front of you, including those illegally turning left from the wrong lane, and vehicles on side streets pulling into your lane, are the biggest dangers. If a vehicle turning left enters your path, slow down and swerve left around the turning vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is a service sign.

This sign is a service sign. It indicates a rest area one mile ahead.

Not quite. The answer is you need to make a right turn to enter Route 47 north.

This sign tells you to turn right to go north on route 47.

Not quite. The answer is Pedestrians must not cross.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This regulatory sign means that pedestrians must not cross here.

Not quite. The answer is elastic cords.

The best way to fasten cargo to a motorcycle is with elastic cords. Even strong rope can loosen, or knots can come undone.

Not quite. The answer is Center

When another vehicle is passing you on the left, ride in the center lane position to keep away from the hazard. Riding in the right lane position could encourage the driver of that vehicle to move back into your lane too soon. Also, in the right lane position, you would have less room for error on your right side if you were hit by a blast of wind from the passing vehicle that affected your control.

Not quite. The answer is 4 seconds.

When you are following another motorcycle, leave a following distance of at least four seconds, just as if you were following a car.

Not quite. The answer is It should be centered low, over the sidecar axle and secured firmly in place

When carrying cargo in a sidecar, it should be centered low, over the sidecar axle and secured firmly in place. If the cargo shifts, handling will be affected.

Not quite. The answer is four

If you are convicted of reckless driving, you will be fined up to $1,000, sentenced to jail for up to twelve months, or both. Also, four points will be added to your driving record. If you are under 21 years of age, just one four- or six-point conviction causes your license to be suspended for six months for a first offense.

Not quite. The answer is three

Under Georgia law, you may not operate a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or between adjacent lines or rows of vehicles. The penalties for violating this law can be surprisingly harsh. Georgia law treats this offense as a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, jail for up to one year, or both. (In practice, however, motorcyclists are usually sentenced to less than the maximums.) The law doesn't specify a particular point value for this violation, so it falls into the category of "All Other Moving Violations," each of which carries three points.

Under Georgia law, every motorcyclist and passenger must wear eye protection of a type approved by the Georgia Commissioner of Public Safety unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield.
