Driver's Manual
Sixty pages of excellent driving information and advice go a long way toward promoting safe and courteous driving in the community. The New York DMV has written a comprehensive, easy-to-read driver's manual designed to educate and inform without boring readers to tears, and we recommend this well-organized publication to new drivers and to experienced drivers who'd like to revisit New York's driving rules and regulations.
This manual is less a lecture on the rules than guidelines for all drivers about how to make safe and courteous decisions on the road that help smooth the flow of traffic and prevent accidents―information which benefits everyone.
Rather than pick up a bulky printed manual at the DMV office, download the manual and view, save, or print it using Adobe's free PDF Reader. This manual is also available in Spanish. New York also provides audio versions of the manual in both English and Spanish.
To make the driver's manual even more useful, the DMV has created an engaging Web-based version in HTML format that offers interactive practice quizzes at the end of every chapter. This instant feedback is an excellent learning tool for new drivers and can help them pass the New York's learner's permit test and road test. This version of the manual is also available in Spanish.
No matter which form of delivery you choose, the driver's manual covers the following topics:
- Driver licenses
- Keeping your license
- Owning a vehicle
- Traffic control
- Intersections and turns
- Passing
- Parallel parking
- Defensive driving
- Alcohol and other drugs
- Special driving conditions
- Sharing the road
- If you are in a traffic crash
- Road signs you must know

Commercial Drivers
New York's commercial driving manual is available in 12 PDF files that cover an additional set of topics specific to driving these types of vehicles.
The New York State Commercial Driver's Manual provides detailed information about obtaining a commercial driver license (CDL), driving safely, transporting cargo safely, transporting passengers, air brakes, combination vehicles (doubles and triples), tank vehicles, hazardous materials vehicles, school buses, and the tests that CDL applicants must pass to receive their commercial license. This handbook should be studied in addition to the Driver's Manual by anyone planning to drive a commercial vehicle.
This fully narrated supplemental drivers ed program will help will provide first-time drivers a comprehensive understanding of rules of the road, state laws, driving techniques and much more. Although this course does not satisfy your New York drivers education requirements, this course is a great way for a first-time driver to get prepared for their upcoming learner's permit test.
This course includes six hours of full driver ed training giving the student a full multimedia learning experience. The student will have access to eight of the premier driver education videos and, finally, the student will test his or her knowledge with three permit practice tests. Once completed, the student will be ready to pass his or her test with flying colors.
