Knowing the rules of the road

When it comes to driving new rules can be introduced at any time. This means that since you passed your test, the rules may have changed a lot and it is your responsibly to ensure you know what they are and adhere to them.

Many people campaign year upon year to bring in a retest for people after a certain time. Although the thought of this can be quite daunting, it would possibly make people more aware of the new rules and ensure that they practise them when driving around.

With gadgets such as sat navs we often have situations where we can revert to them for help and guidance on one way systems, speed limits and road closures, but these gadgets should not replace our awareness and ability to concentrate on what’s happening around us.

You can opt to do a number of different advanced driving courses that will not only give you more confidence and make you safer on the roads but can also lower your insurance premium. These courses are not necessarily aimed at any one driver, they can offer advice and guidance for many. Some employers chose to send employees on these types of courses if they are going to be driving around a fair bit or in bad conditions.
