Driving: Foreign Nationals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure that foreign drivers using UK roads are familiar with the Highway Code and UK road safety rules.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
All drivers are encouraged to familiarise themselves regularly with the Highway Code and to refer to it periodically to refresh their road safety knowledge.
All road users are required to comply with road traffic law in the interests of their own safety and that of other road users, and this is reflected in The Highway Code. For those who do not adopt a responsible attitude, or if their use of the highway creates an unsafe environment or causes nuisance, there are laws in place that can make them liable for prosecution.
