As does Katy's driving instructor!! (DD who is STILL learning to drive.......only got 70 hours in the log book so far....ho hum.)
The 100 hours:eek:. Locked in a car with your teen:blink: who of course by 16 knows more than any adult ever will. I had 2 lots of that in 3 years. It was only 70 each because they get 30 hours credit if they have 10 drive lessons but I felt every minute of pain:lol: Its a lot of 10 minute drives to the school, to get rid of some pain we did a 17 hour trip outback with one of them. Must admit I learnt a bit too, they just love it when you do a wrong thing and its My driving instructor says... with that teeny smugness:lol: |

Nothing wrong with this but the UK is the only country that I know of where this is allowed (there may be others but it won't be many)
Kind of threw me a bit when I first moved to the UK and saw this

That's interesting if it is not actually legal because it seems to be the norm over there
Undertaking (on the left) is not illegal but nobody seems to do it whereas here it's standard practice "You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space. Laws CUR reg 101 & RVLR reg 24" It is illegal to do a U turn at traffic lights unless there is a sign saying you can, in QLD, NSW, WA and maybe a few others. |

Next they'll be telling us you need to indicate right when going straight across a roundabout :banghead:
Here's a surprise ... we don't know rules on roundabouts | Sunshine Coast Daily And not many people know this one either... |

"You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space. Laws CUR reg 101 & RVLR reg 24" '2. Parking (239 to 247) 239 Use off-street parking areas, or bays marked out with white lines on the road as parking places, wherever possible. If you have to stop on the roadside: do not park facing against the traffic flow stop as close as you can to the side...Laws CUR reg 98, 105 & 107, RVLR reg 27 & RTA 1988 sect 42' |

What about this bit in the Highway Code then?
'2. Parking (239 to 247) 239 Use off-street parking areas, or bays marked out with white lines on the road as parking places, wherever possible. If you have to stop on the roadside: do not park facing against the traffic flow stop as close as you can to the side...Laws CUR reg 98, 105 & 107, RVLR reg 27 & RTA 1988 sect 42' The words do not & should not are basically advisory and generally not enforceable by law to carry a penalty, unless used to determine liability. The introduction clarifies this on page 4. Crazy I know. Download The UK Highway Code ebook PDF for free - The Highway Code 2014 |
