Sample Practice Questions for Sharing the Road (Pedestrians, Trucks & Bicycles)

1. Question 1Ref: GA Drivers' Manual — Sharing the Road — School buses

   A school bus with flashing red lights is stopped ahead. While it loads or unloads, you must:

   APass slowly on the leftBStop and remain stopped until the bus resumes motionCHonk for the childrenDContinue if no children are visible
   Show Answer & Explanation

   Correct Answer
   B. Stop and remain stopped until the bus resumes motion

   Once flashing reds burn and stop signs extend, no vehicle may pass the stopped bus while it loads or unloads — traffic from both directions stops. Only opposing cars on a highway divided by a median are excused, and even they must stay alert for children. Amber lights beforehand mean slow down and prepare; reds mean stop and wait it out.

2. Question 2Ref: GA Drivers' Manual — Sharing the Road — Bicycles

   When passing a cyclist with no bike lane, you should:

   AForce them onto the sidewalkBTailgate until they moveCSqueeze past immediatelyDWait until you can leave safe clearance, then pass wide
   Show Answer & Explanation

   Correct Answer
   D. Wait until you can leave safe clearance, then pass wide

   Cyclists have the same lane rights as motor vehicles. When you pass a bicycle, Georgia requires at least three feet between your vehicle and the bicycle, at a speed at least 10 mph below the posted limit or 25 mph, whichever is higher. Wait until you can give that room, since wobble, gusts and potholes move riders sideways without warning, and do not cut back in sharply.
