The Official Highway Code
The Official Highway Code | Great Britain. Department for Transport, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency
3 posts | 1 read
The driving test reaches its 80th anniversary in 2015, and this commemorative edition of the Highway Code is a celebration of that milestone in British road safety. Updated for 2015, The Official Highway Code is essential reading for all road users in England, Scotland and Wales, providing all the latest rules of the road and traffic signs. All road users have a responsibility to keep their knowledge up-to-date, so make sure you do just that with the latest edition of this handy reference guide. Every day, on average, five people are killed and 60 people are seriously injured on our roads. If we're to bring those figures down, it's vital that all road users - drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians - are familiar with all the rules in The Official Highway Code. This 2015 edition includes the new drug-driving laws, HGV speed limit changes on single and dual carriageways in England and Wales, updated drink-driving limits in Scotland and general rule changes. The Highway Code is available in just about any format you can think of and is constantly updated to reflect changes in technology, understanding and the law. Please continue to read it - not just as a learner driver, but as a responsible lifelong road user - so we can keep Britain's roads among the safest in the world.

#Tailgating must obviously mean something very different in some parts of the world to what it means in England, where it refers to driving too close to the car in front, and would result in me wanting to throw the tagged book at anyone doing it!

Jerdencon It also means the same thing in the US but also means partying in the parking lot before a sporting event or concert. 5y
TheEllieMo @Jerdencon I‘ve not come across its use for that before, I think we still just call it a picnic! 5y
Susanita Tailgating because you traditionally set up the picnic on the tailgate of your vehicle, but some folks have more elaborate procedures. My husband‘s cousins manage their Penn State tailgates with military precision! 5y
Eggs Great choice 👏🏻👏🏻 The tailgating (picnic) at college football games is a wonder to behold 5y
veritysalter I‘m with you @TheEllieMo, to me it means someone driving too close to your rear bumper. 5y
