Drivers License Handbooks by State
As you prepare to get your drivers license, there’s simply no better resource than your state’s drivers handbook. It contains information on traffic laws in your state, as well as helpful driving tips that you should practice when you get behind the wheel. Updated regularly, your drivers handbook will be useful to you for the rest of your driving career. And, spoiler alert: even after you’ve been driving for a while, you’re still going to have questions about road rules, no matter how comprehensive your drivers ed course was.
What’s in the Drivers Handbook?
The real question is, “What’s not in the drivers handbook?” Because it is issued by the licensing agency in your state, the drivers handbook is the official source of driving information for motorists. It details how to get a drivers license, important road rules like right-of-way, tips for handling emergencies, and so much more.
Some of the specific topics it covers include:
- Seat belts
- Traffic signs
- Parallel parking
- Sharing the road
- The effects of drugs and alcohol on driving.
Get a Drivers Handbook Now
Because the drivers handbook is such an important document, you have a few options when it comes to getting your hands on one. The easiest way is to navigate to your state’s drivers licensing agency’s website and view the handbook online. You can also download it so you have your own copy, or you can pick up a physical copy when you’re at your licensing agency’s office.
Always Stay Up-to-Date
Laws are reactionary, as we’ve all seen with the advent of texting and driving laws. In our modern world, technology is going to continue to have an impact on driving, and that’s going to affect traffic laws. With our online resource, you’ll always have access to your state’s drivers handbook, which means you’ll be able to see the latest changes when they go into effect. You’ll always be up-to-date, and if that means avoiding traffic tickets and other hassles, it’s a huge benefit to you. If you’re still using your beat-up copy of your drivers handbook from back when you took drivers ed, you may be getting outdated information.
Be the Best Driver That You Can Be
Staying informed is one of the best ways to ensure that you are a safe driver out on the road. While reading about driving rules is not the same thing as following them when you’re behind the wheel, you’ll be a lot better off if you have a thorough understanding of safe-driving practices. This knowledge will help prevent you from getting traffic tickets and being involved in car accidents, which means you’ll also enjoy a lower car insurance rate. What could be better than that? So even if you’ve already got your drivers license, be sure you’re regularly brushing up on your driving safety information. You-and other drivers on the road-will be glad you did.
