The Motorway Code/General

General

1 DO NOT use a motorway if your vehicle cannot maintain a fair speed or if it is likely to break down. Make sure that brakes, steering, tyres, lights, indicators and windscreen wipers are in good condition.

2 DO NOT use a motorway if you cannot trust yourself to drive in safely in conditions where average speeds will be high. It is an offence for learner drivers to use motorways.

3 DO NOT drive on a motorway if your faculties are impaired in any way. Even small quantities of alcohol or drugs may affect your judgment.
