Sample Georgia motorcycle permit test questions

  1. If an animal runs into your path, the safest response is usually to:

    • A. Slow down and be prepared to stop rather than swerving into traffic
    • B. Swerve sharply no matter what is around you
    • C. Speed up to pass before it crosses
    • D. Close your eyes and hold on
    Show answer

    A. Slow down and be prepared to stop rather than swerving into traffic — Braking keeps you in your lane and in control, while a hard swerve can send you into oncoming traffic or off the road.

  2. You should check cargo security:

    • A. Before riding and periodically during the trip
    • B. Only before starting
    • C. Only if you hear it rattling
    • D. Only on long trips
    Show answer

    A. Before riding and periodically during the trip — Check cargo before riding and periodically. Straps can loosen, and items may shift during the ride.

  3. Cargo on a motorcycle should be secured:

    • A. Loosely for easy access
    • B. Only on one side
    • C. High up for visibility
    • D. Low and close to the center of the motorcycle, distributed evenly
    Show answer

    D. Low and close to the center of the motorcycle, distributed evenly — Keep cargo low and centered. Unbalanced or high-mounted cargo raises the center of gravity and causes instability.

  4. When a car is waiting to turn left across your path at an intersection, you should:

    • A. Speed up to pass before they turn
    • B. Change lanes into oncoming traffic
    • C. Honk and maintain speed
    • D. Slow down, cover your brakes, and prepare for the car to turn
    Show answer

    D. Slow down, cover your brakes, and prepare for the car to turn — Assume the driver may not see you. Slow down, cover your brakes, and be prepared to stop or swerve if needed.

  5. With a passenger, you may need to:

    • A. Lower the tire pressure
    • B. Adjust suspension preload for the extra weight
    • C. Remove the mirrors
    • D. Disconnect the rear brake
    Show answer

    B. Adjust suspension preload for the extra weight — Increase the rear suspension preload to compensate for the passenger's weight. Check your owner's manual for correct settings.

  6. In Georgia, is lane splitting (riding between lanes of traffic) legal?

    • A. Yes, on all roads
    • B. No — lane splitting is illegal
    • C. Yes, only in heavy traffic
    • D. Yes, below 15 mph
    Show answer

    B. No — lane splitting is illegal — Lane splitting is illegal in Georgia. Only California expressly permits it; riding between lanes of traffic in Georgia can result in a citation.

  7. In Georgia, when must a motorcycle rider wear approved eye protection?

    • A. Only at night
    • B. Never
    • C. Whenever riding, unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield
    • D. Only above 35 mph
    Show answer

    C. Whenever riding, unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield — Georgia requires riders to wear an approved eye-protective device while riding, unless the motorcycle has a windshield that protects the eyes.

  8. A standard drink — one beer, one shot of liquor, or one glass of wine:

    • A. Beer is always safe to drink before riding
    • B. Each contains about the same amount of alcohol
    • C. Wine has no effect on riding
    • D. A shot is harmless because it is small
    Show answer

    B. Each contains about the same amount of alcohol — Each standard drink holds roughly the same alcohol, so all of them impair the coordination and judgment riding demands.

  9. When carrying a heavy load, you may need to adjust your motorcycle's:

    • A. Paint color
    • B. Mirror tint
    • C. Horn volume
    • D. Tire pressure, suspension, and headlight aim for the added weight
    Show answer

    D. Tire pressure, suspension, and headlight aim for the added weight — Extra weight changes how the bike sits and handles, so the manufacturer's load settings for tires, suspension, and headlight keep it safe.

  10. Motorcycle riding scenario 2: At intersections, what is the best defense against a left-turning vehicle?

    • A. Speed up to reduce time in the hazard
    • B. Slow, cover the controls, and make yourself visible
    • C. Use only the front brake and look down
    • D. Copy the vehicle ahead without checking conditions
    Show answer

    B. Slow, cover the controls, and make yourself visible — Slow, cover the controls, and make yourself visible. The motorcycle operator manual stresses smooth control inputs, visibility, and planning ahead. This response gives the rider time and space to manage the hazard safely.
