Know the Law

If you get caught breaking the law behind the wheel, you face a range of possible fines – from £60 for speeding, up to £5,000 for the offence of ‘dangerous driving’. If you cause a death on the road, the fine for causing ‘death by dangerous driving’ is unlimited.

Driving laws exist for a reason. Click on the links to your left for more information.

Speed Limits
Speed limits in the UK vary according to the type of vehicle and type of road driven. Driving just a few miles over the posted limit does make a difference, and could mean the difference between life and death. 
Alcohol
Nearly one in six of all deaths on the road involve drivers who are over the legal limit.
Mobile Phones
While driving, you will be breaking the law if you pick up or use any type of phone that is, or must be, held to operate it.
Stopping Distances
Naturally, stopping distances will vary according to weather conditions, and some cars may perform in different ways.
Drug driving
Many people think that if they drive under the influence of drugs a vehicle search and a potential charge of possession is all they have to be worried about.
Seatbelts
Seat belt wearing saves over 2,000 lives every year.
Child Seats
The safest way for children to travel in cars is in a child seat that is suitable for their weight and size.
