One in three road users believe they would fail their theory
test if they had to take it today according to a survey
conducted by Haynes Publishing.
The research also reveals that 20% of road users don't know
how to carry out basic car checks, such as oil level, battery
and brake fluid. Almost 7% admitted they knew nothing at all
about car maintenance.
The survey showed the over 55s are the most confident at car
maintenance with 60% in this age group reporting they know
how to check and change the oil, battery and brake fluid.
Haynes is publishing a new version of the and Highway
Code for Motorcyclists and the Highway Code for
Drivers. Priced at just £2.50, each of the books include
the official rules of the road plus an extra section on basic
bike and car maintenance, bike and car care and other
practical matters such as tax, MoT and insurance.
Jeremy Yates-Round, MD Haynes Publishing said:
"We all remember cramming the Highway Code. The problem
is we don't remember much of the Code itself. But what's
really useful about Haynes' new version is the extra,
practical advice on looking after a car or bike and handling
the paperwork - and all for the same price."
The maintenance and paperwork sections make this low-cost
publication an invaluable tool for budding and experienced
road users. Using the famous Haynes how-to format, readers
will learn to carry out oil and tyre checks, replace light
bulbs and deal with paperwork involved in keeping a bike or
car on the road.
