Taking another look at these rules might be a good idea…

Dear LPG, 

 

I wrote a message not so long ago which was aimed at the drivers who read the pages of this website have found a few facts that all drivers should know because, when I discovered them, I had a go, and there were a few of the questions that I got wrong despite the multiple-choice answers which should have made it all easier.

 

I took my driving test when testing if you knew what the signs were was a case of being asked to recognise a few cards with pictures of them once you had done the actual driving bit. 

 

I think that going through the online questions did help me to pick up a few things that I might not have recognised before, and, having had a go. I did get the feeling that I could do with a bit of a read of the latest copy of the highway code. The whole thing is available electronically. I have to admit to finding it easier to retain in smaller sections.

 


The problem is that reading has never been the best way of remembering information for me, so I was relieved to learn that there is a Visual-Audiobook version which some will find a lot easier to work with. While that is still a relatively long set of facts to get through, at least it helps if you are one of those people who retain more when you hear the words read to you electronically. A few read-throughs while you have a cup of tea and some biscuits will make it a much less daunting revision curve. 

 

I found reviewing the rules of the road in this way much better than trying to take it all in from the written page, and, just in case other readers find themselves with a bit of time to spare, I strongly suggest that a bit of a review would be an excellent way to go.


   
I also found some other more animated videos that lay out the rules and hope that the LPG reader/drivers, cyclists and pedestrians make the time to look. It does lay out rules for all road users.
