Georgia Motorcycle Permit: Alcohol, Laws & Licensing Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is six

If you are convicted of speeding at 34 mph or more over the posted speed limit, you will be fined and six points will be added to your driving record. In Georgia, the maximum number of points for any single violation is six. 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.

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 three

Georgia law requires every motorcyclist and passenger to wear a helmet. The law also requires every motorcyclist and passenger to wear eye protection unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield. 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, the sentences have tended to be less than the maximums, with community service instead of jail time.) The law doesn't specify a particular point value for these violations, so they fall into the category of "All Other Moving Violations," each of which carries three points.

Not quite. The answer is You must be at least 17 years old.

You won't have to wait till you're 17 years old to take the Basic Rider Course, but you will have to wait till you're 17 to obtain a motorcycle license or endorsement. (If you're under 18, your parent or guardian must accompany you to the first session of the course to give his or her consent.) The Motorcycle License Test Waiver that you earn for completing the course expires in 90 days. Hence, you must obtain your motorcycle license or endorsement within 90 days of completing the course. You may take the Basic Rider Course at a DDS-operated location or a DDS-certified private provider. The course does not teach you the rules of the road or how to keep your balance on a two-wheeled vehicle like a bicycle. Those skills you must already possess. Some providers require you to hold a Class CP driver's instructional permit or Class C driver's license; the DDS requires you to hold an instructional permit and complete (car) driver's education and driving experience too. You must wear protective motorcycle clothing. Some course providers will provide you with a helmet or eye protection if you prefer; otherwise, you must bring your own. Check with the course provider.

In Georgia, if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or above, you are considered intoxicated and can be charged with driving while under the influence (DUI). Furthermore, if you are under 21 years of age, you can be charged with DUI if your BAC is 0.02% or above.

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.
