1. After drinking, what is the only thing that will lower a person's blood alcohol level enough to ride safely?
Correct answer: Time
Only time lets the body remove alcohol from the blood. Coffee, a cold shower, fresh air, or exercise may make a person feel more alert but do nothing to lower blood alcohol content or restore riding skills.

2. Two riders drink the same number of beers, but one finishes them far more quickly. What happens to that rider's blood alcohol concentration?
Correct answer: It rises higher than that of the rider who drank slowly
How quickly you drink is one of the things that decides how high your reading climbs. Putting the same quantity of alcohol into your body over a short stretch produces a higher peak than spreading it across several hours.

3. How much alcohol does it take to begin affecting your ability to ride safely?
Correct answer: Even a single drink can begin to impair the skills needed to ride
Even a single drink can begin to impair the judgment, balance, and reaction time needed to ride. The safest choice is to never drink or use impairing drugs before riding.

4. In Georgia, what is the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for a motorcyclist under the age of 21?
Correct answer: 0.02 percent
Georgia's under-21 limit is 0.02 percent, far lower than the 0.08 limit for adults. Even a small amount of alcohol can put a young rider over the limit and result in a DUI.

5. Georgia's open container law is broken when a person:
Correct answer: Keeps an opened or partly emptied alcohol container in the passenger area on a public road
The statute covers any bottle, can, or other receptacle that has been opened, has a broken seal, or has been partly emptied, while it sits in the passenger area of a vehicle on a public road or its shoulder. Someone traveling alone is treated as possessing it.

6. Why should you never drink alcohol while you are taking another drug?
Correct answer: Each one can multiply what the other does, and add hazards of its own
Alcohol taken alongside another drug can magnify what both of them do, or produce effects neither would cause by itself. Beyond destroying your control of a motorcycle, that mixture can bring on grave health problems.

7. When does a Georgia court normally order an ignition interlock device after an impaired-driving conviction?
Correct answer: On a second or later conviction within five years, absent financial hardship
Georgia courts order the device for a second or later impaired-driving conviction that falls inside a five-year window, and it stays fitted to any vehicle the offender drives for twelve months. A judge may excuse it when the person genuinely cannot afford it.

8. You have started a new medication and are not sure whether it is safe to ride. What should you do?
Correct answer: Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the side effects first
Prescription medicines, drugstore remedies, and illegal substances can all interfere with riding. When you cannot tell how one will affect you, get an answer from your physician or pharmacist before you throw a leg over the seat.

9. For a rider age 21 or older, at what blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a person legally over the limit to operate a motorcycle in Georgia?
Correct answer: 0.08 percent
A BAC of 0.08 percent or higher is over the legal limit for drivers and riders 21 and older in Georgia. Riding skills begin to decline well before that level, so the safest choice is not to drink at all before riding.
10. Roughly how much alcohol does one standard drink contain?
Correct answer: About half an ounce
A standard drink carries about half an ounce of alcohol. A twelve-ounce beer, a five-ounce pour of wine, and a single shot of liquor all deliver about the same amount, so switching from one to another changes nothing.
