BTW Road Skills Overview with Students
On the Road Skills Test you will be expected to do all or part of the following:
Parallel Parking: Park midway between two standards so that your car is not more than 18 inches from the curb.
Backing: Back your car for a distance of about 50 feet, at a slow rate of speed, and as straight and as smoothly as possible. Turn your head and look back at all times while backing.
Stopping for Signs or Traffic Signals: Give the proper hand or brake signal; approach in the proper lane; stop before reaching a pedestrian crosswalk, and remain stopped until you can move safely through.
Turnabout: Turn your car in a narrow space using two-, three-, or five-point turns.
Approaching Corners: You must be in the proper lane and look in both directions.
Yielding Right-of-Way: Always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, motor vehicles, bicyclists, or anyone else who moves into the intersection before you.
Turning: Get into the proper lane and give signal an adequate distance before reaching the turn.
Passing: Always look ahead and behind to make sure you can safely pass without interfering with other traffic.
Following: Do not drive too closely behind other cars. Watch the car ahead of you; when it passes some reference point, such as a telephone pole, and then count "one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two." If you pass the same spot before you are through counting, you are following too closely.
Posture: Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not rest your elbow on the window.
When taking the exam, do not attempt to carry on a conversation with the Examiner because they will be busy giving instructions and recording your score.
Georgia Joshua's Law
What is Joshua’s Law and how can it help keep your teen driver safe on the road? Getting a driver’s license is a rite of passage for teens. It’s also a stressful time that can cause sleepless nights and anxiety for protective parents.
The bad news is that car crashes are still the #1 cause of death for teens between the ages of 16-19. The good news is that a law was passed in the state of Georgia in 2005 to help keep teen drivers safer on the road, despite a multitude of new and ever-present dangers.
