DKTThe official handbooks are published by the Victorian Government (Department of Transport and Planning, with VicRoads). Because the rules are updated from time to time, always read the current edition from the official website instead of an old copy.
Which handbook is for you?
| If you are… | Use |
|---|---|
| Learning to drive a car, or going for a probationary licence | Road to Solo Driving. The learner permit test questions are based on this handbook, and you also need it for the drive test. |
| Riding a motorcycle | The Victorian Rider Handbook. |
| Driving a bus or heavy vehicle | The Victorian Bus and Truck Driver Handbook. |
