Product Description

No serious driver should be without a copy [The Official Highway Code] in their glovebox.

Product Description
Essential reading for all road users in England, Scotland and Wales. This latest edition of the only official Highway Code contains the very latest rules of the road. Many of these rules are legal requirements and must be adhered to, in order to avoid penalty fines, penalty points, disqualification or even prison. The rules also include a reference to the legislation that creates the offence. The Official Highway Code reflects the latest legislation that road users must adhere to, advice on road safety and best practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serious value for money, 24 Jun 2008
By T. Manwaring "beyond driving" (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As has been mentioned - all drivers should have a copy of this book as it lays out very simply exactly what you should and shouldn't do in most situations on the road.
So many of us drive, ride or use the roads and we need to understand the ground rules - for less than the price of a pint, you can use it to dazzle your team-mates in pub quizzes, or settle those perennial arguements (what is the speed limit for a van on a dual carraigeway anyway?).
It's an absolute bargain - so if you find yourself frustrated by modern road designs and signs, or get confused by how to deal with some of the strange new junctions - get a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for ALL DRIVERS!!!, 29 Oct 2007
By Mr. Mark Lake "The Photographer" (UK, London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is evident that most drivers on the road either have lost the ability to read, or they're completely ignorant and simply cannot be bothered to be knowledgeable of the current rules and laws of the roads and road safety. Just for learners indeed! RUBBISH! If drivers simply took the time to have a look through this simple guide, people would be aware of the simple things such as when you can and cannot use a bus lane, and which lane you are supposed to be in when using a roundabout, and the list goes on.

I simply believe that ALL drivers should have a copy of The Highway Code and be up to date with road safety and the laws. Then some of these pretty pictures on grey poles on the sides of roads may actually make sense to the dim witted behind the wheel, and no longer wonder why they get nasty looks and unsociable hand signals from other drivers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Essential for learners, 21 Oct 2007
By A. J. Thompson (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the UK's top selling titles. If you are learning then this really is the only defnitive source of the current driving rules. The codes layout has improved over the years but it is still, inevitably, very dry and dull. The various interactive CDs may help you revise for your theory test but for revising on the train, in the library and elsewhere there is no substitute.

My daughter, who has dyslexia, was learning to drive. I thought this would be heplful for her but she found it a bit muddling. Other people without dyslexia might like it better.

This is certainly a pacy read. The characters are well-drawn and the background - a road trip of some kind, though the author is careful to keep details vague - is convincing... Read more
