At an all-way stop, a car on your left stopped before you did. You have now stopped too, and the intersection is clear. Which driver should proceed first?
Correct answer: The other driver, who stopped before you
At an all-way stop, arrival order applies when the vehicles did not arrive together. The right-side tie rule does not let a later arrival take an earlier driver's turn.

A patrol car with flashing blue lights is stopped on the right shoulder. You are in the right lane of a highway with two lanes in your direction. The left lane is clear, and changing lanes is lawful and safe. What should you do?
Correct answer: Move into the left lane to leave space beside the patrol car
Georgia's move-over guidance calls for a safe, lawful move into a lane not adjacent to the stopped emergency vehicle. This scenario is different from pulling over for an emergency vehicle approaching from behind.

You are considering passing a slow car on a two-lane road. A nearby hill hides any oncoming traffic beyond its crest. What should guide your decision?
Correct answer: Stay behind until you can verify a safe, lawful passing opportunity
Do not pass where a hill prevents you from seeing oncoming vehicles that could create a hazard. Not seeing a vehicle behind the crest does not establish a clear passing path.

Every curbside space is occupied. You plan to leave your car on the street side of a parked car while going into a shop. Is using hazard lights enough to make that parking permitted?
Correct answer: No, you must find a place where parking is allowed
Parking on the street side of an already parked vehicle is prohibited. Hazard lights or a short errand do not turn that double-parking location into a lawful parking space.

Another driver used your car and changed the seat and mirror positions. When should you restore a clear, comfortable driving view?
Correct answer: Before you begin moving the vehicle.
Adjust the seat and mirrors before driving. You need a clear view and suitable driving position before you move into traffic, not while trying to steer through it.

A pair of taillights becomes visible through thick fog. Why should you reduce speed further instead of using them to judge a normal gap?
Correct answer: Fog makes judging the gap less reliable.
Seeing lights through fog does not establish a safe following distance. DDS advises reducing speed further because fog can make the separation between vehicles difficult to judge.

A tire suddenly blows out while you are driving. Which initial response best supports keeping the car controllable?
Correct answer: Hold the wheel with both hands and avoid abrupt inputs.
NHTSA says to keep the vehicle balanced: hold the wheel with both hands, avoid slamming the brakes or abruptly lifting off the accelerator, and gradually ease off while stabilizing the car. Once stable, slow further and pull off where and when it is safe.

You have passed your intended expressway exit. What is the safe response?
Correct answer: Continue to another designated exit and revise your route.
Continue to a later designated exit. Missing an exit is not a reason to reverse, stop in a travel lane, or cross the median. Plan the revised route from a safe location if necessary.

A long truck is preparing to turn near you. Why should you leave extra maneuvering room?
Correct answer: A large truck needs more space to complete a turn than a car.
Large trucks are longer and more difficult to maneuver and need more room to turn. Give the driver space instead of treating the truck's turning path like that of a passenger car.

You are leaving a one-way section and encounter this sign. What change must you anticipate?
Correct answer: Oncoming traffic will use the roadway ahead.
The two arrows point in opposite directions: two-way traffic is ahead. Do not assume that both sides of the next roadway carry traffic in your direction.

You see this warning before reaching an intersection. What should you begin doing?
Correct answer: Slowing down in preparation for the stop ahead.
This is an advance warning of a stop sign ahead. Begin slowing so you can make the required stop at the actual stopping location.

A two-lane road has a broken yellow center line beside a solid yellow line. The solid line is nearest you. May you cross it to pass?
Correct answer: No, the solid line prohibits passing from your side.
The solid yellow line on your side marks a no-passing zone for your direction. The broken line on the opposite side does not authorize you to cross for an overtake.

A 17-year-old Georgia CP applicant has graduated from high school and is not currently enrolled. Which document is an accepted option for the school-status requirement?
Correct answer: The applicant's high school diploma.
DDS lists a high school diploma among the alternatives for applicants under 18 who are not enrolled. Current school attendance is not the only accepted situation.

A Georgia Class D holder plans to drive home from work at 12:30 a.m. A parent approves. What does the Class D curfew permit?
Correct answer: No driving; work does not create a curfew exception.
DDS states that Class D driving is prohibited from midnight to 5 a.m., with no exceptions. Parental approval or a work trip does not remove that restriction.

A 20-year-old is obtaining a first-ever driver's license in Georgia, with no prior testing completed. Which examinations does the Class C checklist require?
Correct answer: Vision, knowledge, and road skills examinations.
