State of North Carolina
Office of the Governor

North Carolina's driver license program is designed to protect motorists and pedestrians. Its goals are to prevent traffic accidents and to reduce the number of injuries and property loss.

What you learn from this handbook is necessary for safe driving. How well you remember what you learn and how well you put it into daily practice will enable you to remain a safe driver.

Please remember, the privilege to drive must be earned. It is a privilege that comes with a great deal of responsibility. We urge you to always obey our laws and observe the rules of safe driving. Your life and the lives of others depend on you.
