The stopping distance will depend on your attention, the road surface, the weather conditions and your vehicle.

You must signals clearly to let others know what you intend to do, and it is necessary to use only the signals shown in the Highway Code, You should use the Reversing Lights to let other road users know that you intend to reverse.

You should not reverse into a main road from a side road. The main road is likely to be busy and the traffic on it moving quickly. Cut down the risks by reversing into a quiet side road.

If you are turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary can cause unnecessary wear to the tyres and steering mechanism. This is known as ‘dry’ steering.

If you are going to pass on a narrow road, you need to plan early and well before so that you get a better view of the road ahead.

You need to check as you are turning. Slow down your vehicle and give priority to the pedestrian who is crossing the road.

Sometimes buildings, hedges, bends and other obstacles can obscure your view. Move forward slowly until you see the road clearly before you pull out.

You can wait in a yellow box junction if you want to turn right and are stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right.

Pelican Crossings are the crossings which are signal-controlled crossings where flashing amber follows the red 'Stop' light. This crossing is made aware to the drivers with its traffic lights and zig-zag road markings.

As a driver, you MUST give way to any pedestrians on the crossing, when the amber light is flashing. If the amber light is flashing and there are no pedestrians on the crossing, you may proceed with caution.

After the lights start flashing, watch out for people making a last-minute dash. Be prepared to let them cross but no not wave others onto the crossing. 

The approach to, and exit from, a pedestrian crossing is marked with zigzag lines. It also means that you must not park on them or overtake the leading vehicle when approaching the crossing. Parking here would block the view for pedestrians and the approaching traffic.

You should not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians to let them know that they can cross as this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching. It should be left to the pedestrians to decide for themselves when it is safe to cross.

As you are approach a crossing

• You should look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and you should be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross
  

• You MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing
  

• You should allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads
  

• You MUST not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching
  

• You should be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing.

Watch out for pedestrian walking close to crossings as they may start to cross without looking at the traffic.

While traveling on a two-lane dual carriageway you should stay in the left-hand lane. Use the right-hand lane only for overtaking or when turning right. After overtaking, move back to the left-hand lane when it is safe to do so.

If you breakdown on a carriageway you should put a warning triangle on the road at least 45 metres (147 feet) behind your broken-down vehicle on the same side of the road, or use other permitted warning devices if you have them. Always take great care when placing or retrieving them, but never use them on motorways.

The lane on the right may be used for overtaking or turning right. After overtaking, you should move back to the left lane when it is safe to do so. When you are changing lanes for overtaking or turning right, you should first use your mirrors and if necessary take a quick sideways glance to make sure you will not force other road users to change course or speed. When it is safe to do so, signal to indicate your intentions to other road users and when clear, move over.

If you are overtaking, watch for clues that traffic ahead of you is slowing down to turn right.

Overtaking on the nearside (left) is legally acceptable if you are driving on a multi-lane carriageway in congested conditions, and the lane to the left is moving at a faster speed than lanes to the right. In these circumstances overtaking on the left is permissible although extra caution is needed for an awareness of other vehicles moving to the faster lane on the left.

It is also permissible to overtake on the left if the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right. Overtaking on the left in these circumstances although permissible is subject to road markings and signs that may suggest otherwise.

Long vehicles may need extra room to complete their turn in a roundabout. Remember never to drive next to large vehicles in a roundabout. You should look out for their signals.

Long vehicles may need to use more than one lane in order to negotiate the roundabout. Stay well back and give them plenty of room, they might need to take a different course as they go around the roundabout.

Some traffic-light-controlled junctions have advanced stop lines to allow cycles to be positioned ahead of other traffic. 
Motorists, including motorcyclists, MUST stop at the first white line if the lights are amber or red and should avoid blocking the way or encroaching on the marked area. 
If your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you MUST stop at the second white line, even if your vehicle is in the marked area. Allow cyclists time and space to move off when the green signal shows.

The legal alcohol limit for drivers is:
- 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, or
- 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, or
- 107 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine

Even small amounts of alcohol can affect your ability to drive.

If the police want to investigate whether you are over the drink driving limit, they will carry out a screening breath test at the roadside. If you fail this test, or if they have other grounds to believe that your driving was impaired through drink, you will be arrested and taken to a police station.

Anyone caught over the legal alcohol limit when driving will be banned from driving for at least 12 months, and fined up to £5,000. You can also be sent to prison for up to six months. Imprisonment, the period of disqualification and size of fine depend on the seriousness of the offence.

If you are caught drink driving second time in a 10 year period, you’ll be banned for at least three years.

Car drivers and front seat passengers must wear a seat belt, unless they have a medical exemption certificate.

Adults travelling in the rear of a car must also use seatbelts, if they're fitted. It's the responsibility of the adult passenger (not the driver) to make sure that they are using the seatbelt.

Children under the age of 14, travelling in the rear of a car that has appropriate restraints, must belt up. ' It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure children under 14 years of age are wearing their seatbelts...once 14 years old it is up to the passenger to take responsibility!

Exemptions are allowed for the holders of medical exemption certificates and those making deliveries or collections in goods vehicles when travelling less than 50 metres (approx 162 feet).

Only ADIs and trainee licence-holders can teach to drive for payment. They must display a badge on the windscreen during lessons. An ADI displays a green badge on the windscreen, and a trainee driving instructor displays a pink badge.

You must have a provisional driving licence when you’re learning to drive.

If you practise your driving with friends and relatives  (without paying them) they must:

- be over 21
- have had their driving licence for 3 years
- be qualified to drive the type of vehicle you want to learn in

You can be fined up to £1,000 and get 3 to 6 penalty points on your provisional licence if you drive without the right supervision.

If a traffic accident occurs and you are driving, then you need to assess the situation and see if any of the following situations apply:
- Is anyone injured?
- Has there been any damage caused to someone else's property, or another vehicle?
- Has an animal been killed or injured (an animal applies to a dog, pig, goat, sheep, ass, mule, horse or cattle).

If any of the above points do apply, you are required to stop at the scene and remain there for a reasonable period of time that will allow any other people involved directly or not in the accident to come to you and request your contact details.

If you are driving someone else's car, then you must supply the contact details of the registered owner too.
 
If you don’t leave your details at the scene, then you must report the incident to a police officer as soon as is practically possible (within 24 hours). You can ring to advise the police station, but it is not acceptable to report the incident over the telephone – it must be done in person.

The supervising driver must:

- be at least 21 years old
- held a full driving licence for a minimum of 3 years
- meet the minimum eyesight standards
- ensure the car is in a safe and legal condition
- ensure the car displays red L Plates (or D Plates in Wales) if a learner is driving
- car insurance must cover a learner driver

The nearest you can park to a junction is 10 metres (or 32 feet). 
This is to allow drivers emerging from, or turning into, the junction a clear view of the road they are joining. It also allows them to see hazards such as pedestrians or cyclists at the junction.                                

At an unmarked crossroads no one has priority. If there are no road signs or markings do not assume that you have priority. Remember that other drivers may assume they have the right to go. No type of vehicle has priority but it’s courteous to give way to large vehicles. Also look out in particular for cyclists and motorcyclists.
