Why car and light truck drivers should read the Newfoundland and Labrador handbook once
Every question on the Class 5 knowledge test comes from what Motor Registration Division (MRD) publishes in this handbook. Our 172 practice questions for Newfoundland and Labrador are written from it too, so reading it once and then testing yourself is faster than doing either alone.
Read it end to end once, then use practice questions to find the parts you have not absorbed.
