Georgia Motorcycle Manual 2026

How to use the Georgia Motorcycle Manual

The DDS draws its 40-question knowledge test from the Georgia Motorcycle Manual, and you need 75% to pass, which is 15 correct answers. Read the 44 pages once for coverage, then answer practice questions to find the rules that did not stick. Practice tells you what you do not know yet; the Motorcycle Manual is where the rule is actually stated, in the words the state chose.

It is also the only source that settles an argument. When a practice answer and your instinct disagree, the Georgia Motorcycle Manual decides it, and every explanation we write points back into it.
