This handbook sets out the legal and road safety requirements for drivers of buses and trucks. It provides information to assist bus and truck licence applicants to:
- know what is required by industry to operate buses and trucks,
- know the specific laws applicable to heavy vehicles, and
- understand the requirements necessary to gain a bus and truck licence (the bus & truck knowledge test is based on information contained in this handbook - applicants need to have the most up to date version).
The latest version of this handbook was reprinted with amendments in July 2011.
