Georgia Learners Test Alcohol, Drugs, and Impaired Driving 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers age 21 and older in Georgia?
- 0.05%
- 0.08% (Correct answer)
- 0.10%
- 0.12%
Correct answer: 0.08%
In Georgia, drivers age 21 and older are considered legally impaired at a BAC of 0.08% or higher.
Question 2: For drivers under 21 in Georgia, the zero-tolerance BAC limit is:
- 0.00%
- 0.02% (Correct answer)
- 0.04%
- 0.06%
Correct answer: 0.02%
Georgia's zero-tolerance law for drivers under 21 sets the BAC limit at 0.02%, which accounts for testing variance but is effectively zero-tolerance.
Question 3: Which of the following best describes the effect of alcohol on driving ability?
- Alcohol improves confidence and reduces hesitation
- Alcohol slows reaction time and impairs judgment and coordination (Correct answer)
- Alcohol only affects vision, not reaction time
- Alcohol has no effect at or below one drink
Correct answer: Alcohol slows reaction time and impairs judgment and coordination
Alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time beginning with the very first drink, making driving more dangerous.
Question 4: In Georgia, a first-offense DUI conviction can result in:
- A warning and fine only
- License suspension, fine, and possible jail time (Correct answer)
- Only community service
- A permanent license revocation
Correct answer: License suspension, fine, and possible jail time
A first DUI conviction in Georgia can result in license suspension (up to one year), fines, required DUI school, and up to one year in jail.
Question 5: Which of the following CANNOT help a person sober up faster after drinking?
- Time
- Coffee
- Exercise
- All of the above except time (Correct answer)
Correct answer: All of the above except time
Only time allows the body to metabolize alcohol — coffee, exercise, and cold showers do not speed up this process.
Question 6: Prescription medications can affect driving by:
- Only affecting elderly drivers
- Causing drowsiness, slowed reaction time, or impaired judgment similar to alcohol (Correct answer)
- Having no effect at prescribed doses
- Only causing visual impairment
Correct answer: Causing drowsiness, slowed reaction time, or impaired judgment similar to alcohol
Many prescription medications cause drowsiness, impaired judgment, or slowed reactions, which can be just as dangerous behind the wheel as alcohol.
