These are the rules to the game, the problem is that as a motorcyclist you don't have three lives. just one! If you don't know the rules you're vulnerable, there are sections for motorcyclists but an overall knowledge is essential for your survival. The book isn't generally regarded as a "can't put down" but, a daily "dip" into each section will help to minimise your vulnerabilities and increase your chances of survival (and passing the theory test),
Format:Paperback
This is a "must have" book for all road users - not just those who are learning to drive or taking their driving test. I don't quite know how much the highway code has changed since most road users last read it, though it seems that the concept of indicating when taking corners and being 'courteous to other road users' are new additions to the code. If you drive a car, this is the definitive book for you. One of the major differences with this edition and the last you probably read is that it is now printed in colour.

Great but DON'T pay big bucks
29 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
This little book is priceless for anyone planning to drive in Britain. It covers all the details that make the experience confusing for North Americans... and I'm not talking about driving on the left. Britain has a lot of road signs and street markings that are completely unknown in the U.S. and Canada and not knowing what they mean can cause confusion and occasionally danger.
It also covers the niceties of on-street parking regulations and rules for cyclists and pedestrians. It even explains the subtle difference between Pelican, Puffin and Toucan crossings. This has nothing to do with birds and even the British have trouble keeping them straight.
HOWEVER.... Don't pay big bucks for this 1999 edition. The new 2005 edition sells in Britain for 1.99 pounds (less than $4.00.) You can order it from www.amazon.co.uk if you have something else to order to justify the postage or you can buy it in most any large bookstore in Britain and read it in under 2 hours.
