About the highway code book in brief

The highway code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. The highway code is essential reading for everyone.

The highway code is very useful to identify road/traffic signs, rule and regulations if you are preparing for your driving theory test or practical test.

The most susceptible road users are pedestrians, chiefly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.

Many of the rules in the highway code are legal requirements, and if anyone breaks these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. Such rules are identified by the use of the words "MUST/MUST NOT". In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. An explanation of the abbreviations can be found in 'The road user and the law'.

Knowing and applying the rules contained in The Highway Code could considerably reduce road casualties. Cutting the number of deaths and injuries that occur on our roads every day is a responsibility we all share. The highway code book can help us discharge that responsibility.

Although failure to comply with the code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted. The highway code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under The Traffic Acts (see 'The road user and the law') to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wording such as 'should/should not' or 'do/do not'.

The highway code helps candidates to pass driving theory test and driving practical test as it helps in identifying road/traffic signs, rule and regulations. If a person is good at understanding highway code that will help him to pass driving test in a better way and easier way. Breaking of these rules is considered as a criminal offense. Sometimes it may fined penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving.
