Product Description

NOT THE HIGHWAY CODE is the unofficial 'rules of the road' that everyone knows but, for some reason, are not covered by the official HIGHWAY CODE... Where is the rule that states: if traffic lights turn amber as you approach them, put your foot down and drive as fast as you can? Where is the rule that says diversions never ever lead you back to where you want to be? Stylishly presented and structured to resemble the classic original, this witty new humour title explores the many hilarious truisms of the road today. Such as the true meaning of traffic signs, dealing with motorway middle-lane hoggers, the correct service station etiquette as well as offering advice on how to park while others watch you, driving abroad and the correct hand signal to give a cyclist. NOT THE HIGHWAY CODE is the perfect gift for anyone who has sat in the driver's seat (front or back) and although in many respects similar to the original, it will not help anyone pass their driving test.

About the Author
Fed up with the near impossible challenge of finding parking spaces in English cities, Jonny Zucker designed and built his own 'Tiny' Car. Fast enough to get him from London to Carlisle in eight minutes, but small enough to fit into his jacket pocket, the Tiny Car has revolutionised his life. With a patent pending, the car can be parked anywhere in mainland Europe. Since he made the prototype, offers have come flooding in from around the world. Unfortunately these were all spam - offering him the chance to buy timeshares in Latvian coastal properties. He thinks that driving is 'good' but feels walking may be a tad more environmentally friendly. In addition Jonny Zucker has written over 30 books and has performed over 100 stand up comedy gigs. Ivor Baddiel is the author of 8 books He also writes extensively for television and radio, working with Stephen Fry, Alistair McGowan, Jerry Springer, Mel and Sue and Ant and Dec. Jonny Zucker is the author of over 30 books and the veteran of over 100 stand-up comedy gigs.

Customer Reviews

Terrible
A flimsy piece of tat. It's like they wrote it in five minutes, although 'wrote' is a flattering description. Avoid at all costs.

A Welcome Break from motoring misery.
With so many cars on the road, a speed camera every 50 yards and a legal requitement to buy your child a new car-seat every three months it's easy these days to get distracted from what, for many of us, driving is supposed to be about; enjoyment of being on the road. Taking to the road and car ownership give a huge amount of pleasure to many people but the government killjoys and eco-warriors have made cars and all things motoring a guilty pleasure. Rumours are that the anti-car lobby were behind Richard Hammond's recent jet car accident hoping to get Top Gear taken off the air. This book won't change the sad decline of the fun of motoring in Britain, but buy a copy for your glovebox - I guarantee it will put a big smile on your face and release many a heary chuckle as you try to avoid a doemstic argument whilst trapped on the M25 for three hours in a 6 mile tailback.

Its Highway Fun
funny all the way. Suitable for learners, drivers, and their backseat companions. Looks good, feels good and by golly it does you good! It'll make a great christmas present.
