1. When the yellow lights are flashing at a marked school zone, you must:
Correct answer: Slow to the reduced school-zone limit and watch for children
Slow to the reduced school-zone speed limit while the lights flash or during the posted times, and watch closely for children.
2. Unless otherwise posted, what is the maximum speed limit on a rural interstate highway in Georgia?
Correct answer: 70 mph
The default maximum on rural interstates is 70 mph. Lower posted limits still apply wherever they are marked.
3. Unless a sign says otherwise, how fast may you drive on an unpaved county road in Georgia?
Correct answer: 35 mph
Dirt and gravel county roads carry a general limit of thirty-five miles per hour, well under the fifty-five that covers most other roads with nothing posted.
4. Unless a different limit is posted, what is the speed limit in a Georgia urban or residential district?
Correct answer: 30 mph
The default limit in urban and residential areas is 30 mph. Always obey a posted limit when it differs.
5. With nothing posted to the contrary, what does Georgia set as the top speed on an urban interstate or a multi-lane divided highway?
Correct answer: 65 mph
Sixty-five is the general rule for those roads. State and local authorities may set something different for local conditions, so keep reading the signs as you drive.
6. Some Georgia highways post a minimum speed. What should you do if your vehicle cannot keep up with it?
Correct answer: Choose a different route instead
Traffic moving far below the pace around it blocks the normal flow and creates a hazard. When a vehicle cannot hold a posted minimum, the manual says to find another way to go.
7. Georgia's 'Super Speeder' law adds an extra $200 state fee for drivers convicted of going:
Correct answer: 75 mph or more on a two-lane road, or 85 mph or more on any road
The Super Speeder fee is charged on top of local fines to anyone convicted of driving 75 mph or more on a two-lane road, or 85 mph or more on any road or highway.
8. Besides how fast you are traveling, what else changes the distance your car needs in order to stop?
Correct answer: Your reaction time, the pavement, your tires and brakes, and even the wind
The manual's stopping chart is a guide, not a promise. How fast the driver reacts, the surface underneath, the tread and the brakes, the vehicle's frame, and even the wind all shift the real distance.

9. In Georgia, driving much slower than the flow of traffic when there is no need to is:
Correct answer: Illegal, because it can impede traffic
Impeding traffic by driving too slowly is illegal. If you must travel slower than others, keep to the right so faster traffic can pass.
10. A yellow sign before a bend shows a number lower than the road's posted speed limit. What should you do about it?
Correct answer: Slow to it before you enter the curve
Advisory plaques on sharper bends show the pace at which the curve can be taken comfortably. Get down to it before you enter, since braking hard once you are already turning can start a skid.
