Congratulations on obtaining your Learner’s Permit. You have taken the first steps towards embarking on a long driving career. This book is designed to inform you about the journey ahead and help you become a safe and capable driver. Read it thoroughly and keep it safe and secure.

The Driver’s Handbook provides an overview of the road rules and the laws for driver’s licences and registering a vehicle in South Australia. All road users have a right to use our roads including pedestrians, bicycle riders, motor bike riders, users of mobility devices, and wheeled recreation devices; drivers of cars and heavy vehicles; the young, the elderly, and people with disabilities. This guide explains your road safety responsibilities to respect the rights of all who share our roads. Visit mylicence.sa.gov.au and THINK Road Safety (thinkroadsafety. sa.gov.au) for updated news and information. Stay alert and travel safely.

This guide clarifies some common road rules and highlights that road safety is a shared responsibility between all road users. If you want to test your knowledge after reading this guide, or would like to encourage friends and family to test their knowledge, try the road rules quiz at mylicence.sa.gov.au/roadrules.
