Rules for this test that the Georgia Commercial Driver's Study Guide prints and other states' manuals don't.

  • Recognize the Danger Signals of Drowsy Driving.

    Sleep isn't voluntary: a drowsy driver can have "micro sleeps" of about four or five seconds, which at 55 mph is more than 100 yards, plenty of time for a crash; even without feeling drowsy, a sleep debt still puts you at risk. Section 2

  • 2.24.3 Lists of Regulated Products

    Georgia's manual: placards identify the cargo's hazard class; a placarded vehicle needs at least four identical placards (front, rear and both sides), readable from all four directions, at least 10 3/4 inches square, turned on a point in a diamond shape. Section 2
