10 Rules of the Road You’ve Probably Broken Today

10 Rules of the Road You##Q##ve Probably Broken Today

Have you broken the law today? No? Are you 100% sure?

Motoring law is a tricky beast; things that you might consider to be a bit cheeky or just bad manners can easily turn out to be actual offences, with stiff penalties and nasty fines.

Of course, most of us know the basics: don##Q##t speed, don##Q##t drive drunk, but how many people know that enjoying a sarnie at the wheel can land you in hot water?

Here, PassSmart points out ten ways you may have broken the law today without even knowing it.

Beeping

Honking at the hunnies is not permitted. You are supposed to use your horn as a warning device to let other motorists know that you are there. If you use it as a way of attracting attention so that you can swear at people, then you are breaking the law.

Giving people ##Q##the finger##Q##

Even if an unfriendly lorry driver has just cut you up for the third time, it is still illegal to give him “the finger” or to roll down your window and throw half-open fast food mustard packets at his car. If you would not do it during your driving lessons, then do not do it when you drive.

Holding a baby

All babies must be strapped into an approved baby seat without exception. Do not just hold the baby whilst you nip to the shops.

Not-really-speeding

There##Q##s no such thing as ##Q##legal##Q## speeding; Even 10% over is breaking the speed limit!

Morning after drink driving

You can still be over the limit when driving the morning after. Make sure you##Q##ve had enough rest and given your body enough time to break the alcohol down before getting behind the wheel.

Not cleaning your car

If your licence plate is not clearly visible then you are breaking the law. The same goes for your car lights. You must also make sure that all of your windows can easily be seen through.

Pulling over to answer the phone

You must do this in a safe and convenient place. Do not swerve onto the path or into a bus stop.

Rocking out

You are supposed to be concentrating on driving and not on your rocking tunes. It is up to you to make sure that your sound system is at a reasonable level and will not distract you or other drivers.

Snacking

If you love to eat hot dogs whilst you drive, or balance a plate of sushi between your legs, remember it is illegal. People have been arrested for snacking on a sandwich, so beware of your munching when driving.

Warning other motorists about police speed traps

You may feel like a folk hero if you warn other motorists that a speed trap lays ahead, but you are going to find yourself in hot water if the police catch you doing it.

All-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe & R



5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
