State exam briefing

Georgia’s 2025 DDS exam blends metro hustle with peach-state backroads

Georgia teens crisscross the Atlanta BeltLine, coastal evacuation routes, and Appalachian foothills. DDS refreshed the manual to emphasize lane discipline, share-the-road laws, and the split scoring system (20 road rules + 20 signs). Build a study loop across three zones: Atlanta metro (I-285 top-end, reversible lanes, HOV/HOT tolls), coastal evacuation (US-17 contraflow, hurricane signage, causeway crosswinds), and rural north Georgia (two-lane passing on GA-52, wildlife on mountain roads). Every explanation in our app links back to Georgia statutes so you understand the logic. End each session by comparing permit passenger limits with the hands-free law—blended prompts like these appear across both test sections.

Before you tackle Georgia’s two-part exam, check these boxes

  • DDS splits the exam into two 20-question sections (road rules & signs). Score 15/20 on each (75%) to pass.
  • Atlanta prompts include zipper merges on GA-400, HOT lane access rules, and MARTA bus-only lanes—memorize signage and penalties.
  • Coastal questions highlight hurricane evacuations from Savannah/Brunswick; know contraflow routes, drawbridge closures, and flood advisories.
  • Expect items about Move Over laws and hands-free enforcement—Georgia expanded penalties for distracted driving in 2024.
  • Sign section leans on Atlanta’s express lane symbols, rural railroad crossings, and warning placards around the Smokies.
Minimum age
Georgia issues Class CP instructional permits at age 15 when you present the DS-1 and pass both exam sections.
Permit fees
$10 instructional permit fee (Class CP) collected when you pass.

$10 per retake; only failed sections must be repeated.

$32 driver’s license fee when you pass the skills exam.

DDS accepts cash, card, money order, and checks. Pay online to lock appointments faster.

Retest rules
After failing one or both sections, wait until the next business day. Three failures in a row require a waiting period of 7 days before another attempt.

Local statutes to flag

  • O.C.G.A. §40-6-241 – Hands-free law covering wireless device use.
  • O.C.G.A. §40-6-76 – Move Over law for emergency, utility, and sanitation vehicles.
  • O.C.G.A. §40-6-165 – School bus stop-arm requirements and penalties.

Weather cues Georgia exam writers emphasize

Summer pop-up storms flood downtown Atlanta—slow, increase following distance, and avoid standing water. Coastal fog blankets bridges on US-80 and Tybee Island; use low beams and reduce speed. Mountain freeze-thaw cycles create black ice on US-129—ease off the accelerator before curves.

Imagine your Norcross exam after a top-end commute

You battle morning traffic on I-285, arrive early, and breeze through the vision screen. At the kiosk the road-rules section opens with a HOT lane question—you recall the toll signage from last night’s practice. A hurricane evacuation prompt appears later; you think of Savannah’s contraflow plan, select the correct response, and move to the sign module confident you’ve matched both sections.
