Maryland may be a small state, but it still has millions of drivers on the road, and navigating everything from its smallest streets to its widest freeway requires studying the Maryland Driver’s Handbook on this page. We pull only the very latest version, directly from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, so you can feel confident you’re not wasting your time studying outdated information. When you have a good handle on your handbook knowledge, you can start preparing further with our free Maryland permit practice tests. When you feel you’ve mastered both the Maryland Driver’s Handbook and you’ve gotten good scores on your practice tests, it’s time to go out there and get your real Maryland driver’s permit.
