The Highway Code

There was an item on BBC Breakfast this morning about the Highway Code, in as much as do you know it, and nearly everybody they asked said that they had never looked at the Highway Code since the day the passed their test, and, although I haven't driven for a while, I'm on of them. Can anybody say, hand on heart, that they have looked through the HC since they passed their test?

Re: The Highway Code

What's the Highway Code? Is that the book that you have to look at before your driving test and put away for future reference?

Re: The Highway Code

once you pass your test you soon realise that by the time you have dealt with taxi drivers,boy racers , ingorant arses ,foriegn drivers with no understanding of our traffic signs and a severe lack of policing its pretty much survival of the fittest and the highway code has very little part of been safe

We all got a copy of the 'Highway Code' at the speed awareness course I went on last year.

Re: The Highway Code

I passed my test in 1957 in 1947 Ford Anglia.
It was my second attempt at the test, first time I failed because I gave a right turn hand signal and changed down at the same time, no hands on steering wheel equals a fail.

I have still got the Highway code I used, parts of it are below.
