⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Strongly Recommended
We should all buy or read the latest book of this code as it is blindingly obvious that with the rules of the road changing from time to time we could get stopped by the Police for doing something that was previously ok but now comes with a fine and maybe even points. It also allows us to re-educate our knowledge on things that we may have forgotten about or even have had it wrong for many years.
