The official highway code is the only official copy of the highway code endorsed by the Department of Transport and the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) and is a must read for learner and new drivers as well as those wishing to brush up on their rules of the road. The book itself is quite small so you can carry it around with you to read when you have some spare time, all the information is also set out quite clearly so you can find an article quickly if you need to refer to it. The sections themselves are also well set out to give you specific information surrounding pedestrians, cyclist, motorcyclists and car drivers. The code itself is set out in ...  Read the complete review

I have the latest and most updated version of this book and I believe that it is a must have for all learner drivers. I am learning to drive myself and everything I need to learn for my theory test can be found inside this book.

Essential Information. Poor Execution. It's very difficult reviewing The Official Highway Code - because it's essentially the only book out there which contains all the information required for wannabe drivers (for the most part). It's essentially law that a driver reads this - which makes me feel weirdly anarchic for wanting to dissuade people from reading it prior to taking a test! So far on DooYoo there are 2 reviews for The Official Highway Code, both giving it 5 stars. Sure, it does the job and it has ALMOST everything you'll need to know inside - but its formatting and structure is what makes me dislike it. Unlike a 'Driving Test ...  Read the complete review
