Top 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:
- Special driving conditions
- If you are in a traffic crash
Top 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.
