Key Topics Covered: Licensing procedures (permit, provisional, and full license requirements). Traffic laws, including speed limits, right-of-way rules, and following distances. Road signs and signals — critical for both test success and real-world driving. Safe driving practices, such as defensive driving, cell phone use, and collision avoidance. Special situations, including driving with a learner’s permit, motorcycle and commercial driving rules, and operating in adverse weather or mountainous terrain (e.g., Colorado). Best Study Strategies: Read the handbook thoroughly, focusing on chapters most frequently tested. Use practice tests to identify weak areas and simulate exam conditions. Leverage multimedia resources such as audio versions, interactive PDFs, and mobile apps (e.g., California’s 2026 handbook is available in multiple languages and audio format). Combine handbook study with driver education courses for deeper understanding and better retention.
