Whether you are a new driver, very experienced or somewhere in between, these five tips will prepare you for driving in South Australia.
1. Get a copy of the driver's handbook
The driver's handbook is essential reading for any new driver in South Australia as well as an important reference for those who are more experienced.
Read or download the
driver's handbook on the My Licence website.
2. Think about road safety
Driving a car is one of the riskiest activities that you can perform on a daily basis. Avoid the risks and be prepared.
Go to the
road safety section of this website for more information.
3. Know the road rules
The Australian road rules are explained in the
road safety section of this website. Remember that the default speed limit is 50 km/h unless otherwise signed and the use of mobile phones whilst driving is against the law.

driver's handbook provided on the My Licence website.

interstate and international motorists section of this website.
