Drivers are being warned to follow the rules - or be slapped with a fine and points
Whether you're a novice or a seasoned driver, the multitude of rules, road signs, and fines can be overwhelming. It's easy for even the most diligent and experienced drivers to inadvertently incur fines or penalty points.
So what are the little-known rules drivers need to know about? Driving in the UK requires more than passing your test. While most drivers know about common offences like speeding, there are some lesser-known driving laws that can catch even the most careful drivers off-guard.Potential Repercussions: 3-9 penalty points
Engaging in heated discussions or outright disputes with passengers can result in a fine for drivers if such arguments interfere with their driving abilities. The Highway Code explicitly states that ‘arguing with other passengers’ is a distraction that must be avoided, as drivers must not ‘drive without due care and attention’, or risk breaking rule 148 of the Highway Code.
You should not use your horn aggressively, while stationary, or when driving in a built-up area at night , unless another road user poses a danger.
