The Real Highway Code

There is the published Highway Code, but after some years, we all realise that there is a real Highway Code that is shared between drivers.

I think it is important for safety that the true highway code is properly documented.

Perhaps you can help.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

If the car in front is not driving at the speed limit + 10% you SHOULD drive extremely closely
and shout and swear very loudly.

If you pull out in front of a vehicle and it flashes its lights to alert you to its presence, you MUST immediately brake sharply to alert it to yours.

You must not undertake the car in front, unless you think they are going a bit slow (slower than NSL + 10%).

You MUST stop at a red light, unless:

A) You have been a bit held up just before they changed.

B) They didn't stay on green long enough.
