Reviewing the official Road Users’ Handbook is a good place to start. This comprehensive guide contains all the information you’ll need about the road rules in NSW, traffic signs, and safe driving practices. It’s advisable to read through this handbook several times to ensure you have a solid understanding of the contents.
