You want to turn left into a driveway on a two-way road. An oncoming car is close enough that your turn would make it brake. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait for a safe gap in the oncoming traffic
A left turn into a driveway requires yielding to opposing traffic, just as a left turn at an intersection does. Signaling does not create a safe gap or transfer the right-of-way.

A raised median continuously separates the two opposing roadways of a divided highway. A school bus is stopped for children with red lights flashing on the opposite roadway. You are not following or traveling alongside it in its direction. What applies to you?
Correct answer: The bus-stop requirement does not apply across this median; stay alert
The DDS median exception applies to vehicles traveling on the separate opposite roadway. Continue watching for children; the exception does not remove the duty to drive safely.

A car is overtaking you on a two-lane road. You notice you are below the posted speed limit. Should you accelerate while it is still passing?
Correct answer: No; let the driver complete the pass without increasing your speed
Georgia prohibits increasing your speed before an overtaking vehicle has completely passed. Being below the limit does not justify making its passing maneuver longer or harder.

You are in the outer of two lanes designated for a left turn. Both turning lanes continue into corresponding lanes on the new street. What should you do while turning?
Correct answer: Stay in the corresponding outer lane through the turn
When multiple turn lanes are provided, finish in the corresponding lane. Do not cut across the other turning lane or change lanes within the intersection.

You are traveling beside a large truck where its driver may not be able to see your car. What is the safer plan?
Correct answer: Adjust your position safely to avoid lingering there.
Avoid remaining in another driver's blind spot, particularly beside a large truck. Change your position only as traffic conditions safely allow; do not assume the driver knows your car is there.

Your parked car has snow and ice on its windows. What preparation is needed before you drive onto the road?
Correct answer: Clear snow and ice from all window surfaces.
Remove snow and ice from all windows before driving. A small cleared patch or a windshield-only view can leave hazards hidden to the sides and rear.

You use a road daily, but construction is moving along it. Why should you reassess the lane layout on each trip?
Correct answer: Lane closures and travel patterns can change as work progresses.
Work-zone lane patterns can change as the job progresses. Familiarity with yesterday's route is not a substitute for observing today's signs, markings, and traffic path.

A motorcycle is riding on the left side of its lane, leaving space to its right. May you drive beside it in that same lane?
Correct answer: No; leave the rider the full lane for maneuvering.
A motorcycle needs the full lane and may change its position within it. Do not crowd alongside or treat an unused-looking portion as a separate lane for your car.

This sign is mounted at the nose of a median. Which route around the median does it require?
Correct answer: Pass to the right of the median.
The arrow directs traffic to the right of the median or obstruction. It is not a requirement to turn onto a different street.

As you approach this sign, which development on your right should you watch for?
Correct answer: Traffic joining the flow from another roadway.
The branch joins the upright arrow, warning of merging traffic from the right. DDS advises preparing to allow that traffic to merge safely; the sign itself does not assign an unconditional right-of-way.

A steady red X is displayed above the lane you are considering entering. What does it mean for your direction?
Correct answer: Travel in that lane is not permitted.
The red X closes that lane to travel in your direction. An apparently empty lane does not change the displayed lane-control instruction.

For Georgia's ordinary Class CP learner-permit path, what is the minimum application age?

A 17-year-old Georgia driver has held Class D for fourteen months and still holds that class. How many nonfamily passengers under 21 does this stage allow at most?
