Product Description

This handy reference title illustrates and explains the vast majority of traffic signs that a road user is likely to encounter. A thorough knowledge of all traffic signs is essential for all road users, not just new drivers or riders. Although The Official Highway Code contains most of the commonly used road signs which are prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations, it does not give a comprehensive explanation of our signing system. This is therefore a perfect complimentary title to The Official Highway Code.

Does What It Says and Value for Money
This book is clear, easy to understand, free of jargon and a good price. Unlike many recent DSA publications I've seen this book sticks to delivering solid, practical information and is free of blatant advertising for their other products. Plus at £3 (for a nicely bound, full colour, book) they're virtually giving it away. I'm an experienced driver (10+ years) and bought this to swot up before helping my wife to learn. The fact that it's updated from the version I had when I was learning meant I've learned quite a lot of new stuff too. So perhaps it's a good idea for ALL drivers (whether they've been doing it for a while or not) to have this book in their collection.

Well, I certainly know them now
There isn't too much one can say about this book; I imagine the majority of people buying it in the UK are doing so for their theory test. I found it to be quite interesting, even if the history of signing was over-simplified and didn't include how the British road numbering system was devised. Would I advise other people studying for their theory test to buy it? Well, no. As long as you have the latest copy of the Highway Code and some driving experience, I'm sure you can figure the meaning of such abstract signs like: "Gliders" or "Child Cyclists Ahead". Considering how extensive the latest Highway Code is, this books seems somewhat superfluous.

Good
Very clear signs, excellent for teaching purposes. May not be required if you have the highway code but is superbly clear as opposed to the highway code. Also good for ADIs
