Before you drive — Georgia Permit Test

Before you get in, Georgia says to check the tire pressure against the recommended figure printed in the door jamb of the vehicle, letting air out or adding it until it matches.

A soft tire changes how the car steers and stops, and nothing on the dash will tell you.

Prior to entering vehicle check tire pressure using recommended psi located in the door jam of the vehicle.

The penny test checks tread depth: put the head into the shallowest groove, and if any part of it is covered you still have the legal and safe amount of tread.

Bald tires hold the road in the dry and then let go the moment it rains.

If any part of Lincoln's head is covered by the tread, you're driving with the legal and safe amount of tread.

Where the car is parked on the street, Georgia says to get in from the curb side, and to wait until you can do it safely where that is not possible.

Walking around into the traffic side puts you in a lane with your back to whatever is coming.

If you are parked on the street, enter from the curb side of the vehicle.

Georgia puts the seat belt before the ignition: you fasten yours and see that your passengers do the same before you start the engine.

Nobody belts up once the car is moving, because by then it stops feeling worth doing.

Before starting your ignition, fasten your seat belt and make sure your passengers do the same

Georgia gives 9 and 3 as the general rule for where your hands go on the wheel, and says to keep both hands on it unless you are safely doing another driving task.

One hand on the wheel is fine until something happens, and then it is half the grip you needed.

As a general rule, when gripping the steering wheel, place your left hand at the 9 o'clock position and your right hand at the 3 o'clock position on the wheel.
