How to Pass Your Permit Test in Georgia

Automobile License

In Georgia, there are 8 types of non-commercial DL, but most applicants qualify for Class C, that allows driving common passenger cars. Provisional Class D license is similar to Class C, but it is intended for minors under 18 and provides some passenger and driving hour restrictions. Also, there is a Class CP instructional permit, which allows minors to acquire driving skills when they turn 15. Thus, provided you have already celebrated your 15th birthday, you are allowed to submit CP application signed by the parents along with the documents listed below:

• proofs of your identity, SSN, U.S. lawful status, and residential address;
• DS-1 proving you are enrolled in school or any other appropriate document about your education status if you are not enrolled in school.

A current version of the manual is available on driver-start.com, as well as a valid list of test questions. Besides, Driver Start offers an easy-to-use application for mobile devices, which assists in learning and training for the test questions. App Store and Google Play.

The applicants have to give at least 15 correct answers to get through the testing and to earn the instructional permit. It permits driving on the state roads to gain behind-the-wheel skills, provided that you are supervised by a licensed driver, who is older than 21.

When the applicant turns 16, he/she may try to receive a provisional license, provided the applicant has held the permit for at least a year and gained required driving experience. In addition to the above-mentioned documents, it is necessary to prove completion of ADAP. Then the person will be admitted to undergo the vision and road examinations. Note that Class D license is not available for persons under the age of 17 unless they have completed a certified driver course. When the applicant turns 18, the provisional license may be upgraded to Class C.

It is not necessary to get a Class C license before applying for the right to operate motorcycles on Georgia public roads, but you must be at least 17 to earn Class M license. There are several options to get the license. You may pass 3 examinations, including vision, knowledge and road test even without obtaining a motorcycle permit prior to the skills testing. If you are 16, you may complete driver educational training, pass an eye test and a motorcycle knowledge exam and earn a motorcycle instructional permit (Class MP) to practice your driving skills, while observing required restrictions. You don’t need to study for permit test, if you choose to complete the state motorcycle safety program. In this case, you just need to undergo a vision screening and to pay $32 Class M fee.
