Oregon Driver Manual - Audio Version
Overview
This page provides links to a narrated, audio-only version of the Oregon Driver Manual.
 
Note: In order to view important diagrams and examples, please listen to the audio version of the manual while following along with a text version (Acrobat Reader software is required for viewing the text).
 
Note: Audio software is required for listening to the files. Windows Media Player may be downloaded free of charge.
 
Note: The Oregon Driver Manual has been revised to include current application requirements.  Changes were made to section 1, pages 1 through 12.  The audio files for these pages have not and will not be updated at this time.  This in no way impacts your ability to study for and pass any necessary tests with DMV in order to obtain a license or permit.  No changes were made to the remaining portions of the manual which contain paraphrased law and safety information.  You may view current information on application requirements and current testing and issuance fees.
 
Note: There is also a Spanish Audio Manual available.
