ALABAMA STUDY GUIDE
What to study for the Alabama learner’s permit
Use the ALEA Driver Manual as your primary study source. The manual explains the learner-license exam, signs and road markings, traffic laws, safe driving, and Alabama-specific graduated licensing requirements.
Understand school-bus stop rules
Drivers meeting or following a stopped school bus with its stop arm extended and flashing red lights must stop. The manual describes an exception for opposing traffic on certain divided highways with four or more lanes.
Learn the Move Over Act
On qualifying multilane highways, move out of the lane closest to covered roadside vehicles when safe. If you cannot move over, Alabama law generally requires slowing at least 15 mph below the posted speed. On two-lane roads, different speed and positioning rules apply.
Know the GDL stages
A Stage I permit starts at age 15 and requires an accompanying qualified adult or instructor. ALEA also lists supervised-practice or approved driver-education documentation and restrictions for Stage II. Check the current ALEA page for exemptions and full requirements.
A practical study routine
- Read the current ALEA manual chapters on signs, traffic laws, and safe driving.
- Take a mixed practice set, then focus on road signs or Alabama-specific permit rules.
- Read the explanation for every missed answer and check the manual section linked with it.
- Review ALEA’s GDL page for current age, supervision, practice, and restriction requirements.
