This 8-hour course will help you learn and better understand the contents of the Virginia Driver’s Manual, with the goal of developing you into a safer, smarter driver.
By understanding and studying the Virginia Driver’s Manual and its contents, you will be better prepared for the knowledge test, helping you to earn your driver’s license.
The information contained in this course 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 course will give you information you need to study for the knowledge exam. If you already have a Virginia driver’s license, review this material for new laws or rules of the road.
