Motorcycle Manual in Georgia

Georgia law requires drivers to be at least 16 years old before they can apply for a motorcycle license. If you are under the age of 18, you must have parental consent.
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has made its Motorcyle Operator Manual available to Georgia residents to help prevent accidents and teach safety to all drivers. It is a must-read for anyone considering riding a motorcycle.
Reflecting the very different experience that motorcycle riders have on the road compared with those driving cars, topics covered in this manual are unique from those covered in the ordinary Drivers Manual. Subjects in the Motorcyle Operator Manual include:
- Wearing the right gear
- Knowing your motorcycle and knowing your responsibilities
- Vehicle control
- SIPDE (acronym for scan, identify, predict, decide, and execute)
- Animals and flying objects
- Carrying passengers and cargo
- Group riding
- Being in shape to ride
- Earning your license
The book contains helpful diagrams to aid in your study and provides a sample quiz to test your knowledge.
