Highway Code warning as 'alarming' fake books 'putting drivers at risk of accidents'
03.11.2022 - 14:55 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Motorists have been warned about fake Highway Code books that could lead to dangerous situations on the road.
Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is looking to crack down on fakes appearing 'almost identical' to the official Highway Code - except they contain misinformation about road safety.
Not only could the fake copies lead to a failed theory or practical test, they may also cause drivers to unknowingly commit an offence on the road or get into an accident.
The motoring body has also pointed out that well-known retail websites host many sellers and that consumers need to ensure the sellers are reputable.
Consumers should also consider buying physical copies of The Highway Code from trusted local bookshops - and not 'unscrupulous' retailers, said the DVSA.
"The misinformation in the fake version of The Highway Code is alarming," said Mark Winn, DVSA's Chief Driving Examiner.
He continued: "It puts road users at risk of breaking the law or, even worse, having an accident. As well as this, the incorrect information could cause learners to fail both theory and practical tests.
"These fakes also damage the public's trust in the Highway Code, which is concerning given the book's vital role in keeping everyone safe on Britain's roads. DVSA takes these matters extremely seriously and is taking action against the illegal sellers."
The easiest way to spot whether you have an official copy of The Highway Code or a fake version is to look for these key differences:
You can also check whether the information in your copy of The Highway Code is correct by comparing your version against the online version at GOV.UK which is always up-to-date and free to access.
