The Virginia Driver’s Manual

The Virginia Driver’s Manual will help you learn and understand safe driving practices. Study this manual to prepare for the knowledge
test, obtain a Virginia driver’s license and become a safe driver.

The information contained in this manual should be used as a general guide to the motor vehicle laws but not as a substitute for the Code of Virginia, which contains the laws that govern Virginia drivers and vehicles.

If you are learning to drive, this manual will give you information you need to study for the knowledge exam. If you already have a Virginia driver’s license, review this manual for new laws or rules of the road.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. Your driver’s license carries with it a great responsibility to be courteous of other drivers on the roadways and follow state and federal motoring laws.
