The Highway Code is the simplified 'rules of the road'. It covers car drivers and other road users. It is updated to take into account new ways of driving, the use of mobile phones, for example, but this isn't exactly frequent.
| Your knowledge of the highway code will be tested during several parts of your driving test, so its important that you know your stuff but unlike a lot of things you might learn, it's pretty important to really know your stuff as you'll be using it every time you drive.
What the Highway Code won't tell you is the consequences of being convicted of breaching one of the motoring regulations.
One of the most commonly breached regulation is speed limits. With the rapid recent rise of speed cameras, both fixed and mobile , an increasing number of drivers are finding themselves with points on their licence. In the worst case you can drive through 4 speed cameras at above the legal limit on the same day and lose your licence but not knowing about it 'till the brown envelope lands on your doormat. You have been warned!
