Now you can purchase The New Highway Code as an eBook from FirstyFish. The Highway Code eBook is essential reading for everyone and now you can own a digital copy as formated ePub eBook. This New revised 2007 Highway code eBook contains up to date advice on road safety and the laws which apply to all road users. Every learner driver should have one.

The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.

Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words MUST/MUST NOT. In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. An explanation of the abbreviations is on page [The road user and the law].

Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see page [The road user and the law]) to establish liability. This eBook includes rules which use advisory wording such as ‘should/should not’ or ‘do/do not’.

Knowing and applying the rules contained in The Highway Code eBook could significantly reduce road casualties. Cutting the number of deaths and injuries that occur on our roads every day is a responsibility we all share. The Highway Code eBook can help us discharge that responsibility.
