Following road laws should be easy – but your driving IQ is off the charts if you can spot hidden stop sign in 5 secs
68 per cent of motorists said they immediately move out of a closing lane as soon as they see a 'merge in-turn' sign, according to a study by dealer network Dick Lovett.states drivers should wait until the final merging point before switching lanes, despite the fact that 69 per felt it's rude to do so.
"The vast majority of drivers never consult the Highway Code once they have passed their test so reminding them what it states on the topic is unlikely to change behaviour.", we suggest that highway authorities use the available signs to actively tell traffic what to do and remove any debate."Nothing is more frustrating than a clear lane alongside a congested one when a bit of advanced driver thinking could get more cars through the roadworks smoothly and quicker.
This lack of a uniform understanding and response from drivers means that traffic can build up, accidents can happen, and lives can be put at risk. In light of these findings, Managing Director of AA Accident Assist Tim Rankin said: “While the majority of drivers can recall important updates to the Highway Code, the flagship change that puts more responsibility on those behind the wheel remains unknown by too many drivers.
