The Official Highway Code for Northern Ireland
Ignorance is no excuse when it comes to breaking the rules, so in order to avoid fines, penalty points, driving bans or even prison, it is crucial for drivers to be aware of the rules of the road at all times. The Official Highway Code for Northern Ireland offers the clearest explanation of the most current legislation, including references to the laws behind the rules, as well as advice on safety and best practice.
The Highway Code is by necessity an evolving document, so even (or rather especially) drivers who have held their licence for a number of years need to ensure that they familiarise themselves with the most up-to-date versions of the Highway Code. All the latest signs and innovations in road layout and technology are included here.
The latest Northern Ireland edition includes a new section on rules for users of powered wheelchairs and powered scooters; a safety code for new drivers, giving advice to help newly qualified drivers; guidance on new legislation on subjects such as vehicle emissions and smoking in vehicles that are workplaces and information about new road initiatives which people might not be aware about, such as High-occupancy Vehicle Lanes, Home Zones and Quiet Lanes, and Active Traffic Management Schemes.
