Your driveway crosses a sidewalk before reaching the street. A pedestrian is approaching across your intended path, and street traffic is also approaching. What is required before entering?
Correct answer: Stop and yield to the pedestrian and approaching street traffic
Before entering or crossing a roadway from a private access, stop and yield to pedestrians and vehicles already using the sidewalk or roadway. Your driveway access does not give you priority.

On a divided highway, you approach a school bus from behind in the lane next to it. The bus has stopped for children with red lights flashing and its stop arm extended. Does the median let you continue past it?
Correct answer: No, traffic in both same-direction lanes must stop
A median excuses only traffic on the separate opposite roadway. Drivers following or traveling alongside the bus in the same direction must stop.

An obstruction blocks your lane on a two-way road. Going around it would put your car in the opposing lane, where a vehicle is approaching. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield to the oncoming vehicle and wait for a safe opportunity
A necessary move left of center to get around an obstruction still requires yielding to oncoming traffic. The obstruction does not give you priority over the opposing lane.

You are stopped in a left-turn lane waiting for a gap in opposing traffic. You have not begun the turn. How should you position the front wheels?
Correct answer: Keep them straight until you begin making the turn
DDS instructs drivers to keep the wheels straight until beginning the left turn. Prepare with lane position and a signal rather than pre-turning the wheels while waiting.

An approaching motorcycle's turn signal is flashing, but the rider has not begun to turn. What should you assume?
Correct answer: The signal alone does not confirm that the rider will turn.
Some motorcycle turn signals do not cancel automatically. Wait for the rider's actual movement instead of relying on the flashing signal as proof of an intended turn.

When checking your car's tires while they are cold, where should you find the recommended inflation pressure?
Correct answer: Use the vehicle's tire placard or owner's manual.
Use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure shown on the vehicle label or in the owner's manual, not the maximum printed on the tire. Check with a tire-pressure gauge when the tires are cold.

Workers are close to the right edge of your open lane. A lane change is not possible, but you have safe room within your lane. What can add clearance?
Correct answer: Shift slightly away from the workers while staying in your lane.
When it is safe, a small position adjustment within your lane can add clearance from workers. Do not cross into another lane, a closed area, or a position that creates a new hazard.

A motorcycle approaching a junction looks small. Why is a second careful look important before crossing its path?
Correct answer: It can appear farther away and slower than it actually is.
A motorcycle's small outline can make its distance and speed easy to misjudge. Take another careful look instead of assuming that a small-looking motorcycle is far away or approaching slowly.

This sign faces your approach without a time restriction. The traffic light turns green. May you turn right?
Correct answer: No; the sign still prohibits the right turn.
A green traffic light does not cancel this NO RIGHT TURN restriction. The crossed-out right-turn arrow bars that maneuver.

Rain is falling as you approach this sign. What hazard should guide your driving?
Correct answer: Reduced tire grip on the roadway ahead.
The symbol warns of a slippery roadway; in the wet conditions described, be ready for reduced traction. It is not an instruction to weave or make abrupt control inputs.

All traffic lights at a normal intersection are completely out, and no officer is directing traffic. How should drivers treat it?
Correct answer: As an intersection with a stop sign in each direction.
When an intersection's traffic signal is not functioning at all, DDS instructs all drivers to treat it as an all-way stop. This is distinct from a signal that is flashing and from a pedestrian hybrid beacon's normal dark phase.

A 16-year-old has completed only the approved online theory portion of a Joshua's Law method. What remains necessary to satisfy that method's training requirements?
Correct answer: The remaining driving work required by that method.
Every listed method includes more than theory, and DDS requires completing every component of the chosen method. The driving components depend on which approved method is selected.

An otherwise eligible Georgia Class D holder has turned 18 and wants a Class C license. Which action matches DDS's published upgrade process?
Correct answer: Complete the Class D-to-C upgrade through DDS.
DDS provides a Class D-to-C upgrade at 18, including an online option. Turning 18 is not the same action as completing that upgrade.

A first-time Georgia Class C applicant has never held a Georgia license or ID. The U.S. birth certificate shows an earlier legal name. What is needed to connect it to the current legal name?
Correct answer: Accepted documents showing the legal name-change history.
DDS requires accepted name-change documentation when the identity document and current legal name differ. The question excludes the separate provision for existing Georgia credential holders.
