The Official Highway Code is seeing one of its biggest overhauls with new rules coming into force.

It remains essential reading for any road user. Many rules are a legal requirement and, if you disobey them, you're committing a criminal offence. Make sure you have the latest copy.

Changes for 2022

• New rules on the hierarchy of road users - This means the introduction of new responsibilities towards more vulnerable road users, to keep them safe on the road. These are known as the 'H' rules
• Mobile Phones - Tighter restrictions on the use of mobile phones whilst driving
• Junctions - You should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road that you're turning into
• Parking Laws - New rules around parking on pavements
• Source material - The Official Highway Code remains one of the source materials for all theory tests

Keep safe, make sure you're up to date with the latest rules of the road. Avoid penalties and fines by getting the latest copy of The Official Highway Code.
