✍️ Sample JOSHUA'S LAW Questions & Answers
1. How does black ice typically differ from visible snow or slush on the road?
Black ice is a thin, transparent layer of ice that blends in with the road surface, making it nearly invisible — unlike snow or slush, which are visually obvious. It commonly forms on bridges, overpasses, and shaded roads first because those surfaces cool faster.
2. What should a driver do when approaching a stopped school bus with flashing red lights on a two-lane road?
Drivers in both directions must stop for a school bus with extended stop-arm and flashing red lights on a two-lane road (undivided), and may not proceed until the lights stop flashing and the arm is retracted. Only on a divided highway with a median can opposing traffic legally continue.
3. At what age can a Georgia teen first apply for a Class D (learner's) license?
Georgia's Graduated Driver's License (GDL) program allows teens to apply for a Class D learner's permit at age 15, provided they pass the written knowledge test and vision screening.
4. How many hours of supervised driving must a Georgia teen log before getting a Class D license, and how many of those must be at night?
Georgia requires 40 hours of supervised driving practice, including at least 6 hours of nighttime driving, logged with a parent or guardian before advancing from a learner's permit to a Class D license.
5. What is Georgia's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers under 21?
Georgia has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving: the legal BAC limit for drivers under 21 is 0.02%, far below the 0.08% limit for drivers 21 and older, meaning essentially any detectable alcohol can result in a DUI charge.
6. Under Georgia law, is texting while driving legal for a teen driver under 18?
Georgia's Hands-Free Georgia Act bans handheld phone use, including texting, for ALL drivers, but it is even more strictly enforced for drivers under 18 — Class D and Class P license holders may not use a wireless device at all while driving, even hands-free, with limited emergency exceptions.
