Learning the Highway Code

I thought I'd post in here as it's probably most relevant to new drivers, but I was wondering if anyone had any useful (free if possible Wink

) resources for helping to learn the Highway Code. I can find online resources to test for knowledge of road signs, but nothing seems to test recollection of the contents of the rules. I'd rather avoid "multiple guess" if possible.

I'm happy to create my own if need be, but don't want to be re-inventing the wheel unnecessarily Very Happy

Thanks, Chris

Get a friend or family member to ask you questions on it.

If you can get a very experienced driver to ask you questions - even better - as they can explain the reasons as well.

Or with a someone online who will put various ones to you on MSN or similar by having 2 windows open and then the questions can be copied and pasted from HERE

example -
170
Take extra care at junctions. You should

Thanks for the reply, Rog. I'm really looking for a means of removing the human from the equation so ideally I'd just want a way of repeatedly asking random HC questions and being able to validate the answers. No real need to be able to regurgitate it and the focus would mainly be on the must's and must-not's, as well as signs and markings.

As said, I'm happy to create something myself, but didn't see any point in reinventing the wheel if someone else has already done it Very Happy

Some of the Theory Test training CDs have a training section as well as the Theory Qs. IIRC, the Focus Media one (that you can get in most Supermarkets for <£10) had this. I used it when preparing for my ADI part 1. I also loaned it to a mate who recently sat his Theory Test (and passed).

You could also have a go at the Hazard Perception exercises if you want...
