3 out of 5 stars Poorly worded   November 17, 2008
Although thorough, sometimes whilst setting out to be unambiguous it actually ends up being confusing. For example, certain definitions are used as if they were common everyday terms of which people already have a clear understanding; for instance, it uses 'STOP', 'WAIT' and 'PARK' without offering a clear explanation as to the subtle differences in these terms. Also some rules seem to be a bit of a Catch-22 situation: how can ANY vehicle load or unload in a Bus Lane without first being able to drive in one (an act which is forbidden unless otherwise permitted by the sign).

It gets 3 stars though as on the whole it is quite complete and the examples, where given, are good.

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 out of 5 stars A must have for ALL DRIVERS!!!   October 29, 2007

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 out of 5 stars Essential for learners   October 21, 2007

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.
