Wisconsin Motorists' Handbook

The Wisconsin Motorists' Handbook (1.4 MB) gives you information on driving rules and practices to help you become a safe driver of a car or light truck (Class D license).

If you want a license to drive a commercial vehicle (heavy truck, bus, Class A, B, or C) study the Commercial Driver License (CDL) Manual.

If you want a license to operate a motorcycle (Class M license), study the Motorcyclist's Handbook.
