Georgia Motorcycle Exam Simulation
40 questions · 30 correct to pass. You won't see any feedback until you finish — just like the real test.
Georgia splits this into a 20-question Road Signs test and a 20-question Road Rules test — you must get 15 correct on each. This simulation combines both.
Georgia Motorcycle questions with answers
20 sample questions from the Georgia Motorcycle question bank — each with the correct answer, a short explanation, and the section of the official handbook it comes from.
1. If the rear wheel locks and begins to skid during braking, you should:
Correct answer: Keep the rear brake applied until you stop if the bike is going straight
If the rear wheel locks while you are traveling in a straight line, keep it locked until you have stopped. Suddenly releasing a locked, out-of-line rear wheel can throw the rider off.
2. 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.

3. How can a motorcyclist be more visible to other drivers during the day?
Correct answer: Keep the headlight on and wear bright or reflective gear
Keeping the headlight on and wearing bright or reflective clothing helps you stand out. Never rely on riding in a driver's blind spot or expecting them to look for you.
4. When is a paved road usually most slippery during a rainstorm?
Correct answer: Just after the rain starts, before the oil is washed away
Pavement is most slippery just after the rain begins, because water lifts the oil and dust that have built up on the surface. Heavier rain later washes it away, so use extra caution and slow down at the first drops.

5. Which of the following offers a rider the best head protection in a crash?
Correct answer: A DOT-approved full-face helmet
A DOT-approved full-face helmet protects the whole head and face and meets federal safety standards. Novelty helmets and non-helmet items do not provide reliable protection.
6. What action does a red, eight-sided (octagonal) sign require of a motorcyclist?
Correct answer: Make a complete stop before proceeding
A red octagon is always a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk and proceed only when the way is clear and it is safe to go.

7. What is the purpose of a T-CLOCS check?
Correct answer: It is a pre-ride inspection of tires, controls, lights, fluids, chassis, and stands
T-CLOCS is a pre-ride inspection routine covering Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil and other fluids, Chassis, and Stands. Running through it before you ride helps you catch mechanical problems before they cause trouble on the road.

8. What do solid yellow center lines on a two-lane road indicate?
Correct answer: Traffic on the other side moves in the opposite direction, and passing is limited where the line is solid
Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. Where the center line is solid on your side, passing is not permitted; a broken yellow line means passing is allowed when clear.

9. Before carrying a passenger, what instructions should you give them?
Correct answer: Hold onto your waist, keep both feet on the pegs, and lean with you in turns
Tell the passenger to hold firmly to your waist or hips, keep both feet on the footrests at all times, and lean with you through turns rather than fighting the lean. They should get on only after the engine is started.

10. When you reach a crosswalk where a pedestrian is crossing, you must:
Correct answer: Stop and let the pedestrian finish crossing
Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way. Stop and let them finish crossing before you proceed, giving them plenty of room and never trying to squeeze past.
11. At normal riding speed, how do you make a motorcycle lean to begin a turn to the left?
Correct answer: Press forward on the left handgrip
This is called countersteering: press the left handgrip forward to lean and turn left, and press the right grip forward to lean and turn right. Press left, go left; press right, go right.

12. To stop as quickly as possible in an emergency, a rider should:
Correct answer: Apply both brakes firmly without locking either wheel
Apply both brakes firmly at the same time without locking either wheel. A locked wheel loses traction and control, so squeeze progressively rather than grabbing the brakes.

13. 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.

14. Why are motorcycles harder for other drivers to see than cars?
Correct answer: Their small size makes them less noticeable and easy to hide in blind spots
A motorcycle's small size makes it less noticeable and easy to lose in blind spots or behind other objects. Ride expecting that drivers may not see you and plan accordingly.
15. When you must ride across gravel, sand, or a similar loose surface, you should:
Correct answer: Slow down first, stay upright, and avoid sudden braking or turning
Slow down before you reach the surface, keep the motorcycle as upright as possible, and avoid sudden braking, turning, or acceleration. Smooth, gentle inputs help the tires keep what little traction is available.

16. Which type of protection guards both your eyes and your whole face from wind and flying debris?
Correct answer: A full face shield
A face shield attached to the helmet protects your entire face, while goggles protect only the eyes. Ordinary glasses or sunglasses are not built to shield you at riding speeds and can shatter or blow off.

17. What does an orange, diamond-shaped sign tell a motorcyclist?
Correct answer: There is construction or a work zone ahead
Orange signs mark construction and work zones, warning of workers, equipment, lane closures, or changed conditions ahead. Slow down and watch for uneven pavement, loose debris, and sudden stops that are especially hazardous on a motorcycle.

18. In Georgia, when must a motorcycle's headlight be turned on?
Correct answer: At all times the motorcycle is being operated
A motorcycle's headlight must be on at all times the motorcycle is being operated, day and night. The lit headlight is one of the most important ways to be seen by other drivers.

19. To avoid riding in another driver's blind spot, a motorcyclist should:
Correct answer: Adjust speed or lane position so you stay where drivers can see you
Blind spots hide a motorcycle from a driver's view. Adjust your speed or lane position so you stay where drivers can see you, rather than lingering alongside a vehicle.

20. What is the most common type of collision between a car and a motorcycle?
Correct answer: An oncoming car turning left across the motorcycle's path
The most common car-motorcycle crash happens when an oncoming car turns left across the motorcycle's path, often because the driver did not see the motorcycle or misjudged its speed.
