California Driver Handbook - Director's Message

California Driver Handbook

Dear California Motorist:

The California Driver Handbook is a useful guide for helping you understand the rules of the road, prepare for a driving test, and develop good driving habits. This handbook is also available on the new DMV website, www.dmv.ca.gov, where you can renew your driver license and registration, access forms to report a vehicle sale, watch creative tutorial videos, or make an appointment to visit a DMV office.

I also encourage you to use other DMV resources, including the "DMV NOW" smartphone application, Appointment Notify, Virtual Hold, and Self-Service Terminals. These tools are designed to help improve your DMV experience. Connecting with a customer service representative is also easy through DMV Twitter and Facebook or by calling (800) 777-0133.

We share California's roadways with millions of fellow drivers and it is important to remember this privilege comes with personal responsibility. Whether you are a new or an experienced driver, the California Driver Handbook is designed to assist in making your travels throughout our beautiful state more safe and enjoyable.

Sincerely,
