Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 375-5-3-.18 - Insurance and Safety Requirements
(1) Every vehicle used by a school for the
purpose of commercial driver training must be registered with the Department
and a Vehicle Registration Card, issued by the Department, must be displayed
conspicuously inside the vehicle at all times.
(2) A non-passenger type vehicle must have
been inspected by a member of the Department and determined to be in a safe
operating condition prior to a vehicle card being issued. Vehicle registration
cards issued for a vehicle used for off road vehicle training will be marked
FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY.
(3) No
school vehicle registration card will be issued unless the school has filed
with the Department evidence of insurance by a company authorized to do
business in Georgia in the amount of at least $100,000.00 to cover bodily
injury to, or death of, any one person in any one accident and subject to said
limit for one person, to a limit of at least $200,000.00 to cover bodily injury
to, or death of any two or more persons in any one accident, and at least
$20,000.00 to cover destruction of property of others in any one accident.
(a) The school shall furnish evidence of such
insurance, in the form of a certificate from the insurance company which shall
stipulate that the Commissioner shall be notified when the policy expires or if
it is canceled, and shall include the make, model, and vehicle identification
number.
(b) If the school is
covered under a fleet policy and another vehicle is added to the fleet, the
school should notify the Department that another vehicle (giving the make,
model, and vehicle identification number) has been added so as to avoid the
necessity of the insurance company furnishing the Department with another copy
of the policy each time another vehicle is added to the school fleet.
(4) Every truck or passenger type
vehicle used by a school for practical driving instruction shall be equipped
with the following special equipment.

conventional gearshift, operable from the instructor's position.

students when necessary.

Sufficient stanchions or rubber cones of sufficient height to allow the
instructor to prepare the student for the various maneuvers required of an
applicant in the driving portion of the state licensing examination.

vehicle used by a school for practical driving instructions shall be equipped
with the following equipment:
(a) Two outside
rear view mirrors, one on each side of the vehicle.
(b) Cushions for the proper seating of
students when necessary.
(c) Some
type brake or lever must be installed on the passenger side of all tractors to
allow the instructor to apply brakes on the trailer of all tractor-trailers
that are used for on road training. This brake will not be required for
off-road training.

Non-passenger type vehicles that are not tractor-trailers must be equipped with
an extra brake operable from the instructor's position.
