The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offers several online manuals and other publications, which can be viewed using the free Adobe Reader.

The print versions of the Driver License Manual and the CDL manuals now cost $5 each, plus sales tax. The online versions remain free of charge.

Driver License Manual

The South Carolina Driver License Manual is available in English online and in English and Spanish at your local DMV, and is extremely handy to have around when you're studying for your first driver license.

The online version of the manual is conveniently divided into seven chapters that can be downloaded separately.

• Chapter 1: Introduction

• Chapter 2: General Information

• Chapter 3: Cars: The Road Test

• Chapter 4: Truck Information

• Chapter 5: Cycle Information

• Chapter 6: Signs, Signals and Markers

• Chapter 7: Finding Your Local DMV

Motorcycles

South Carolina doesn't exactly offer a Motorcycle Manual, but they do dedicate an entire chapter of the Driver License Manual, Chapter 5: Cycles, to motorcycle operation.

Refer to our Motorcycle Manual section for a more thoroughly outlined description of the chapter.

Commercial Drivers

Two manuals are available online for commercial drivers:

• IFTA: International Fuel Tax Agreement

• IRP: International Registration Plan

These manuals are excellent study guides and reference materials both before and after you obtain your CDL.

You can pick up a copy of these manuals at your local DMV for a fee of $5 each.
