Thousands of children – some as young as 11 – are enrolling for driving lessons at a growing number of specialist centres, but the trend has police and safety groups concerned.

This Highway Code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone.

The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.

Some general advice from The Driving Instructors Association on how to take care during the winter conditions.
