Format:Paperback
The highway code shines in clearly and simply supplying all the basic practical driving advice you need to start out on British roads, when it could so easily have become just a recital of the law.

This book is one of the most essential pieces of equipment, and any learner driver shouldn't be without a copy of this book. It will help you through both theory, and practical tests. I would recommend it to everyone.

Essential if you're about to embark on the UK theory test. Much easier to read than previous versons, no longer resembling a small chunk of legal documentation but becoming a clear and concise description of rules and advice for all drivers in the UK

Lerning to drive?
I'm a learner driver, and I have to say, you really could do with owning the highway code. You practically have to know it cover-to-cover to pass your theory exam. Read more
