Many drivers on UK roads could be ignorant of vital motoring laws, claims new research.<\/p>\n
A survey of 1,000 drivers conducted by Warranty Direct found that nearly a third are not aware of national speed limits or motorway rules.<\/p>\n
Warranty Driver found 32 per cent of those surveyed thought the national speed limit on a single carriageway was 70 mph – when in fact, it is 60 mph.<\/p>\n
Worryingly, a third thought it was acceptable to pull over to the hard shoulder on a motorway to have a sleep, if there is no rest spot available.<\/p>\n
The chief operating officer at Warranty Direct, Philip Ward, said: "Our latest survey reveals there is a strong need for UK drivers to brush up on their knowledge of driving laws.<\/p>\n
"The results suggest many mistakes could be down to not knowing the appropriate laws, which can easily be rectified. We recommend any unsure drivers to re-read a copy of the Highway Code to avoid causing any dangerous situations when out on the road."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
