Clear view 231 Introduction Dear trainee, We have prepared this especially for you with the aim of helping you to get a driver’s license in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At the outset, we would like to emphasize that driving a vehicle is an important privilege and responsibility for the driver. Now more than ever, it is very important for the driver to develop defensive driving skills, meaning not only avoiding the things that distract and confuse them inside the vehicle, but also staying alert, and to avoid the mistakes of road users because failure to do so can lead to tragic consequences. This booklet aims to help you to drive safely and prepare you for the driving test, both the practical and theoretical, by guiding you in the theoretical sessions and guiding you through the theoretical part of obtaining your driver’s license. It contains information that has been dealt with in the same sequence as the information contained in the theoretical lessons, but with more detail and clarification. In some modules, we have also included additional information on topics relevant for your personal use. This additional information is marked in blue and will not be included in the knowledge section of the driver’s license test. This handbook is meant to be used not only as a reference but also as a practical guide, with additional space for notes. We are confident that these tools will help you better prepare for your driving test and we hope that you will use them appropriately. Once you have obtained your driver’s license, we suggest that you keep this handbook as a reference on traffic safety and update it as needed. Please review and study the information in this brochure carefully, and always keep in mind the great responsibility entrusted to you after obtaining a driver’s license in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and abroad. Best regards, General Traffic Department “Welcome” My role is to guide you throughout the training session!”
