This manual gives information about the driving rules and laws for people who want to get their driver's license in Ontario. The standard manual has been rewritten for people who may have difficulty reading. It will be good for women who are beginning to read and women who have a vision disability .

This booklet is about the Ontario rules and laws. Some of the information may be different for other provinces and women will have to check with their own provincial government vehicle office.

Women who want their driver's license will be able to use this manual, even if they need someone to read it with them the first few times. It might also be useful to play some of the board games about driving to support some of the information.

The black and white diagrams of cars moving on the road and of road signs are very clear. It is helpful to use a regular driver's manual at the same time because the regular manual has diagrams with colour codes that make it clear what is happening.

Women who look at this manual with the regular driver's manual can also start to understand how writing is often made harder than it needs to be.
