The IDL manual was created by directors Benedetta Triulzi and Anita Lorenzotti to help foreign students pass the theory test. It covers topics such as: the road, vehicles, traffic signs, right of way, traffic rules, behavior in case of an accident, insurance, and much more.
You will learn the topics through vocabulary activities, videos, and memory games. You’ll have the chance to practice plenty of quizzes, both individually and in groups, focus on your study, and finally pass the exam.
The handbook is also designed for those who have reading difficulties.
Why do you need the IDL course for the B license?
The Italian Driving License (IDL) manual, created by the directors Benedetta Triulzi and Anita Lorenzotti, is designed to help foreign students pass the theory test. It covers topics such as roads, vehicles, traffic signs, right of way, road regulations, behavior in case of an accident, insurance, and much more. You will learn through vocabulary activities, videos, and memory games. You will have the chance to do many quizzes, both solo and in groups, stay focused and finally pass the exam!
CAN I CONVERT MY LICENSE IN ITALY?
If you live in Italy or plan to move and want to drive legally, you need to get an Italian driving license! If your license was issued by one of the European Union countries, there are no issues: the license is the same, and you do not need to convert it or take an exam.
WHAT IS YOUR ITALIAN LEVEL?
If you are not a beginner, take the free level test. The first questions are simple, and the difficulty level increases as you progress. Answer only the questions you know, and we’ll take care of the rest! Write to [email protected] to schedule a video call on WhatsApp with an experienced teacher to complete your evaluation. Don’t worry—the video call is not an exam. It lasts a maximum of 5-10 minutes!
Completing the IDL course does not replace the theory exam at a driving school or DMV.
*Click here to check if your country has a driving license recognition agreement with Italy. If so, you can simply convert your license at the DMV Office. Otherwise, if your country does not have an agreement, during your first year of residence in Italy, you can drive with your international license, but after that, you will need to take the theory test and the driving exam in Italian.
