The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone, not just learner drivers. It contains the most up-to-date advice on road safety and summarises the laws that apply to all users of the road.

The Highway Code covers information for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. It includes guidance concerning driving in adverse weather conditions, motorway driving, parking, breakdowns and accidents, road works and railway level crossings, signals and traffic signs, road and vehicle markings, vehicle maintenance safety and security, licence requirements and documentation, and first aid. This edition has been updated to reflect recent changes in legislation (2004), including regulations on the use of mobile phones while driving and (2006) the rules regarding seat belts and child restraints. All road users need to be aware of the new rules.

The Highway Code is also the definitive reference on correct road usage for all road users. Death and injury on today's roads could be reduced if all road users knew and applied the rules contained in the Code. Many of the rules of the Code are legal requirements and failure to comply with them constitutes a criminal offence.
