Question 2: For a commercial driver in Georgia, the DUI BAC limit while operating a commercial vehicle is:
- 0.08%
- 0.06%
- 0.04% (Correct answer)
- 0.02%
Correct answer: 0.04%
Commercial drivers in Georgia are held to a stricter standard — a BAC of 0.04% or higher while operating a commercial vehicle is considered DUI.
Question 3: Which factor most affects how quickly alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream?
- The color of the alcoholic drink
- Whether food is in the stomach (Correct answer)
- The temperature of the drink

Correct answer: Whether food is in the stomach
Food in the stomach slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, while drinking on an empty stomach speeds up absorption significantly.
Question 4: Driving under the influence of marijuana in Georgia is:
- Legal if the driver has a medical marijuana card
- Illegal regardless of whether marijuana is used medically or recreationally (Correct answer)

Georgia law prohibits driving under the influence of any drug, including marijuana, regardless of medical authorization.

- Any traffic citation
- A BAC of 0.08% or higher or refusal of a chemical test (Correct answer)
- Three moving violations in one year
- A single speeding ticket over 25 mph above the limit
Correct answer: A BAC of 0.08% or higher or refusal of a chemical test
Georgia's administrative license suspension (ALS) is automatically triggered when a driver tests at 0.08% BAC or higher, or refuses a chemical test.
Question 6: Combining alcohol with over-the-counter cold medication while driving is dangerous because:
- Cold medicine cancels the effect of alcohol
- The combination can intensify drowsiness and impairment beyond either substance alone (Correct answer)
- Only prescribed medications interact with alcohol
- It only affects drivers over 60
Correct answer: The combination can intensify drowsiness and impairment beyond either substance alone
Many over-the-counter medications combined with alcohol create a synergistic effect that amplifies drowsiness and impairment far beyond either substance alone.
