Sample questions from this test, with answers
Want to test yourself first? Take the test above before reading these. Every answer below is checked against the source shown.
1. What does a small sign mounted below a railroad crossbuck tell you?
- A. How far away the next train is
- B. The speed limit at the crossing
- C. The time the next train is due
- D. How many tracks you will cross (correct)
Why: The crossbuck marks every railroad crossing, and a plate under it shows the number of tracks. Yield to trains, and stop completely when a red light is flashing.

2. Bicyclists in Georgia have the legal right to ride on every public road except:
- A. Interstates and other limited-access highways (correct)
- B. Roads with a posted limit above 45 mph
- C. Roads that have a marked bicycle lane
- D. Two-lane rural roads with no paved shoulder
Why: Bicycles may use any Georgia road except interstates and interstate-like limited-access highways. Riders may use the full lane and do not have to stay in a bike lane even when one exists.

3. A long train has just passed a crossing that has two sets of tracks. Before you cross, you should:
- A. Look for a second train on the other track (correct)
- B. Go at once, because the train has cleared the road
- C. Cross as soon as the gates begin to rise
- D. Honk to warn any train and then cross quickly
Why: One train can hide another coming from either direction on a second track. Wait until you can see clearly both ways and all signals have stopped.

4. If you see this sign facing you, what does it mean?
- A. You are entering a one-way street correctly
- B. You are going the wrong way - turn around (correct)
- C. Oncoming traffic must yield to you
- D. Your lane will end - merge left
Why: A 'Wrong Way' sign means you are heading against the legal flow of traffic on a one-way road or ramp. Stop, check for traffic, and safely turn around immediately.
5. When driving at night, you should:
- A. Keep your daytime speed and following distance
- B. Slow down and leave more following distance (correct)
- C. Look straight at oncoming headlights to judge them
- D. Use parking lights so you do not dazzle others
Why: At night your visibility is reduced, so reduce speed and increase following distance. Do not overdrive your headlights - be able to stop within the distance you can see. Avoid staring at oncoming lights; glance to the right edge of your lane.

6. If your vehicle's engine catches fire, you should:
- A. Open the hood to reach the fire quickly
- B. Stop, shut off the engine, and get everyone away (correct)
- C. Drive on to the nearest fire station
- D. Stay in the car with the windows up until help comes
Why: If your engine catches fire, pull off the road, shut off the engine, and get all occupants out and well away from the vehicle. Do NOT open the hood - adding oxygen can intensify the fire. Call 911.
