The Official DVSA Highway Code

I found this book to be a solid starting point for revision, particularly for getting familiar with the key topics. The content is clear and easy to follow, and it’s not overly long, which makes it less intimidating than some of the thicker alternatives. It has a great structure which makes it quick and easy to find what you need.Out of the box, the book is fantastic quality, great feel to the pages and the printing is amazing. Also includes very useful diagrams.I found this book to be very helpful for revision for my theory to begin with, however I found it more beneficial for myself to take the practice tests online. That being said, I did learn a lot more from this book than I did the practice tests. It might be out of date as I picked it up in 2021, as I know there have been some changes, but I still have it to refer back to every now and then. And it is not too thick like some others, so does not take up that much space, and can be kept in the car door for a quick refresher.

Having being a driver for well over half a century, and having had umpteen versions of the Highway Code, I thought I was pretty much au fait with the rules and laws of the road - but aparently not! I bought the latest Highway Code out of curiosity but soon discovered that life now is far more complex than it used to be, for everyone.For example do you know:*There are five different pedestrian crossings all with differing rules?*That cyclists that ride on pavements still risk a £500 fine?*How to obey the different patterns of lines in the centre of the road?* Who has the right of way on a hill?Which lane to use on a motorway?Whilst there are infinitely more vehicles on the road now than there were half a century ago the basic "Rules of the Road" have not changed significantly, but infinitely more rules have been added which I am certain a lot of people don't know about.It's obvious, when using the roads frequently, that many people are oblivious to the laws of the land and not only place other road users in danger but constantly risk their own lives and those of others, their license, and even potentional prosecution. Sadly the irresponsible, incompetant, stupid, dowright dangerous, and selfish driving we all see on our roads cannot be prevented by even the best laws and rules - but they can certainly help!An interesting section of this book covers how to teach children to use our footpaths and cross roads safely - which you would have thought every parent does, but sadly this is not the case as accidents involving children are rising.Another, short but to the point, section very clearly shows the penalties [both financial and custodial] that can be levied on those who break our traffic laws. If you don't know, or flout the laws relating to the road you have nobody else to blame but yourself if you get caught - and deserve everything you get.WARNING There are new rules for drivers which if broken could result in the loss of your license, large fines, or even having to go through the whole driving test process again - an extremely expensive thing to do!Whilst there are still countless experienced drivers who travel long distances in a myriad of conditions the vast majority of people tend to use their car locally for shopping, the school run, or visiting friends, and are thus confident and comfortablein their local conditions. Maybe on the odd occasion they venture further afield, perhaps on holiday or to see far flung family or friends.They can then find themselves on unfamiliar roads, in strange places or condtions, which can be most unsettleling if they don't know what unfamilia signs mean or how to comply. An urban driver tackling their first motorway, or single track through a remote mountain pass, will most probably find the experience daunting; as of course would a rural driver confronted with city driving for the first time. The Official Highway Code covers virtually every situation a driver/rider could face and having a copy in your vehicle is an incredibly good idea - even as the basis for a family quiz, if you can drag the kids away from their phones or I-pads.So, in short, the new revised Official Highway Code is something every driver/rider should own, read, digest, and keep handy in their vehicle. It's should also be found in every home - as it applies to EVERYBODY, not just drivers/riders.Check to see if you have the latest version of the Highway Code - if not a quick click on Amazon will soon get you updated. There are also other similar publications from the Department of Transport, such as Know Your Traffic Signs, available from Amazon.

This is a high-quality book that covers every necessary sign. Because it's small, it easily fits into a car door. It's a useful book for those getting their new driver's license. I find this book useful to have in my car because, for example, it would be very helpful for someone who's never been outside the city to remember intercity signs. It's also very useful for checking the meaning of certain road markings in large cities with heavy traffic but not in smaller ones. Therefore, it's a good book to have in the car at all times.

Good read good condition perfect for me

Ok for the moment helps with remembering things

Necessary reading material but priced inappropriately. Kindle version lacks polish as some road signs are completely illegible (e.g. no waiting). Some of the diagrams reference different sections without hyperlinks. However, wording and language is clear and covers a lot of information. Sign colours are mentioned if your device doesn't show them.

Very helpful guide for my trip to the UK. Read ahead of time to get an idea of how things are different and used as reference in the car for the dreaded roundabouts and the signs.People tended to follow the rules in the UK and while the driving was slightly terrifying (think narrow roads with high walls on one side and big (thin) trucks on the other - 60mph) knowing the rules and following them and knowing that others were following them helped a lot.Kid loved reading it too for some reason...

ho trovato il testo che cercavo, utile per comparare le regole dei codici della strada inglese e italiano e per tradurre correttamente da una lingua all'altra e viceversa.

Libro de aprendizaje para conducir de Reino Unido, muy interesante
