A lane change should be made:
Signal early, check the lane, and then move over smoothly so others have time to react. Darting into a gap gives other drivers no warning.
Which phone use is allowed for a Georgia driver who is driving, including while stopped at a light?
A phone may be used only with headphones, a wireless device, a phone holder or a mounted device, for voice calls, voice-to-text and navigation. Reading texts or watching video is banned even at a red light; the exception is when the vehicle is lawfully parked.
A passenger tosses a cup out of the window. Under Georgia's Litter Control Law, who has violated the law?
The law puts the blame on the driver: when litter leaves a motor vehicle in any way, it is the operator who has broken the Litter Control Law. Litter includes cans, trash, dead animals and discarded materials of every kind.
In fog or heavy rain at night, you should use:
High beams bounce off fog, rain, snow, or dust and reflect back at you. Low beams light the road without the glare.
In Georgia, driving away from a crash you were part of results in:
Leaving a crash scene (hit and run) is among the convictions that require DDS to suspend the license, and a third such conviction within five years can make you a Habitual Violator.
Georgia requires your headlights to be on:
Headlights are required from half an hour past sunset to half an hour ahead of sunrise, in any rain, and whenever you cannot see well. Use high beams only in rural areas when no other cars are nearby.
On a two-lane road you cannot change lanes away from a tow truck stopped on the shoulder with amber lights flashing. You must:
When moving over is not possible, the law tells you to drop below the posted limit and get ready to stop. The law covers any emergency, sanitation or utility vehicle on the shoulder showing flashing lights of any color (yellow, amber, white, red or blue).
A conviction for DUI in Georgia results in:
DUI is on the list of offenses for which DDS must suspend your license. A first conviction also brings a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 12 months in jail, and repeat convictions are punished more heavily. For an adult's first DUI in five years the suspension is 12 months, though it can end after 120 days once a DUI risk reduction program is completed; a driver under 21 at a BAC of 0.08 or higher faces at least 12 months.
After dark on a well-lit city street, driving with only your parking lights on is:
Headlights must be on from half an hour after sunset until half an hour before sunrise, whenever it rains, and whenever visibility is limited. Parking lights are too dim to drive by and do not take the place of headlights; on lighted streets, use low beams.
Under Georgia's Hands-Free Law, while driving you may NOT:
The Hands-Free Georgia Act bans holding or supporting a wireless device with any part of the body, writing, sending or reading text-based messages, and watching or recording video. Hands-free calls, voice-to-text and navigation are allowed.
