Rules of the Road: General Tips

At an unmarked crossroads no one has priority.

The nearest you can park to a junction is 10 metres.

If you park at night on a road where the speed limit is above 30 mph you must leave your sidelights on.

You may drive over a footpath to get to a property.

You must not drive in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line during its period of operation.

A cycle lane marked by a broken white line means you should not drive in, or park in the lane unless it is unavoidable.

You can only stop on an urban clearway to set down and pick up passengers.

When waiting at a level crossing if the red lights continue to flash after a train has passed you must continue to wait.

Never park in an disabled only parking space unless permitted i.e. you are a blue badge holder.

If a car overtakes you at night and you have your headlights on full beam you should switch them to dipped as soon as the vehicle passes you.
