Missouri Driver Audio Handbook

Missouri’s official DOR Written Permit Test includes 25 multiple-choice questions, and you must answer at least 20 correctly to pass. That minimum 80% passing score is part of what stands between you and your permit, and the material needed for the exam is substantial. Studying for this exam can be a daunting task, but our content experts have put great effort into simplifying the process for you. First, if you are looking for a flexible way to prepare for the official Written Permit Test, our Missouri Driver Guide Audio Handbook gives you a convenient way to study the official material without being tied to a printed book, desk, or screen. The MP3s can be played in your browser or downloaded, so you can listen (and learn) while commuting, exercising, walking the dog, having lunch, or moving through a busy day. For aural learners, this fits perfectly with their preferred learning style and serves as a great supplement for others. Second, combining your listening with our Missouri DOR Permit Practice Tests is the perfect recipe to pass the official exam on your first attempt.

The audio handbook includes the same source material used on the exam, including traffic laws, safe driving practices, licensing requirements, road signs, and the procedures you must understand before test day. The audio handbook also helps younger drivers understand Missouri’s Graduated Driver License (GDL) system, which adds driving privileges gradually as skills develop.

The audio version covers the permit and licensing process as well as the rules of the road. To move from an instruction permit to an intermediate license, for example, you must hold the permit for at least six months, complete 40 hours of driving instruction (including at least 10 hours at night), and avoid alcohol-related convictions in the previous 12 months and traffic convictions in the previous six months. The audio version reviews right of way, passing, intersections, emergency vehicles, school buses, hand and vehicle signals, U-turns, right turns, left turns, roundabouts, parking, highway driving, pavement markings, traffic signs, traffic signals, safe driving habits, special driving conditions, alcohol and drugs, the point system, titling and registration, mandatory insurance, inspections, required vehicle equipment, commercial vehicles, distracted driving, and electronic communication device rules.
