Topic overview

This chapter covers Georgia's core rules of the road: right-of-way at intersections, correct passing and turning, and the state's Move-Over Law for stopped emergency, sanitation, and utility vehicles. It also details speed limits, following distance, and the added state fee that the "Super Speeder" law imposes for a single conviction of extreme speeding.

The most-tested material includes right-of-way at uncontrolled intersections and four-way stops, along with when passing is legal versus prohibited. It also covers the numeric thresholds tied to impaired driving, seat belt use, and distracted-driving penalties under the Hands-Free Law.

A common mistake is treating right-of-way as something you can take rather than something you must yield — the manual is explicit that right-of-way is only ever given, never taken. Another is assuming passing rules are identical on every road, when solid lines, railroad crossings, and hills or curves each carry their own restriction.

Who has the right-of-way when two vehicles reach a four-way stop at the same time?

When drivers arrive at approximately the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right; when all directions have stop signs, vehicles generally proceed in the order they arrived, always yielding to pedestrians.

When is passing prohibited on a two-lane road?

Passing is prohibited where the center line is a solid yellow line or a "Do Not Pass" sign is posted, within 100 feet of a railroad crossing or a bridge/tunnel, and whenever oncoming traffic or limited sightlines (hills, curves) make it unsafe.

What must a driver do under Georgia's Move-Over Law?

Move over one lane away from a stopped emergency, sanitation, or utility vehicle displaying flashing lights if it's safe to do so; if changing lanes isn't possible, slow below the speed limit and be prepared to stop.

    • Drive fast, brake late, and pass often
    • Always yield, never signal, and honk often
    • Follow GPS, ignore signs, and trust other drivers

  2. What is the correct attitude toward the right-of-way?

    • It is to be given, not taken — yield to prevent a crash — Correct answer
    • Always take it whenever the law allows
    • It belongs only to the larger vehicle
    • It is decided by who honks first

    Explanation: The right-of-way is to be given, not taken; yield it to prevent a crash even when you legally have it.

  3. At a stop sign where cross-traffic does not stop, when may you proceed?

    • Only after stopping and yielding to all traffic and pedestrians — Correct answer
    • Immediately, since cross-traffic must yield to you
    • Without stopping if no car is visible
    • After honking once

    Explanation: Proceed only after stopping and yielding to all vehicles and pedestrians in or near the intersection.
