1. For a Georgia driver under 21, a second suspension for driving under the influence lasts at least how long?
Correct answer: 18 months
A young driver's second DUI suspension runs eighteen months at minimum, with eligibility for an ignition interlock permit opening up once 120 days have passed.
2. After you take the chemical test the state asks for following a Georgia DUI arrest, what else are you entitled to do?
Correct answer: Arrange further testing yourself, at your own cost, by qualified people you choose
A driver who has already complied with the required testing may obtain independent samples of blood, breath, or urine. The driver pays for them, and picks the qualified people who carry them out.
3. Which statement about prescription and over-the-counter medicines is true for Georgia drivers?
Correct answer: They can impair you, and driving while impaired by them is illegal
Many legal medicines can cause drowsiness or slow reactions. Driving while impaired by any drug — even a legal one — is against the law.
4. In Georgia, what can happen at trial if a driver turns down a request for blood or urine testing after a DUI arrest?
Correct answer: Prosecutors may tell the court that the driver refused
On top of the license suspension a refusal brings, Georgia allows the fact that the driver declined blood or urine testing to be placed before the court as evidence.
5. Which alcohol-related requirement must a Georgia teen satisfy before a Class D provisional license can be issued?
Correct answer: Proof of finishing the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program
Applicants have to show that they finished ADAP, the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program. Most Georgia schools teach it, and it can also be completed online.
6. Under Georgia's implied consent law, driving on public roads means you have agreed to:
Correct answer: Submit to chemical testing if lawfully arrested for DUI
By driving in Georgia you consent to chemical testing of your blood, breath, or urine if you are lawfully arrested for DUI. Refusing can suspend your license.
7. In Georgia, a driver age 21 or older is legally impaired ('per se' DUI) at a blood alcohol concentration of:
Correct answer: 0.08% or higher
For drivers 21 and older, a BAC of 0.08% or higher is DUI by law. Impairment can actually begin at much lower levels.
8. Which set of consequences does the Georgia manual list for a conviction of driving under the influence?
Correct answer: A fine reaching $1,000, as much as 12 months in jail, and a required suspension
Georgia treats impaired driving harshly. The manual describes fines reaching a thousand dollars, jail terms as long as a year, and a suspension of driving privileges that the state must impose.

9. For a Georgia driver under age 21, the blood alcohol concentration limit is:
Correct answer: 0.02%
Drivers under 21 face a much lower limit of 0.02%. Georgia has a zero-tolerance approach to underage drinking and driving.
10. You are hours into a long highway trip and starting to feel sleepy. Why are over-the-counter stay-awake stimulants a poor answer?
Correct answer: They tend to make the driving that follows even more dangerous
The manual warns drivers not to lean on stimulant pills to fight fatigue, because the driving that follows is likely to become more hazardous rather than safer. Stopping to rest is the real fix.
