One in three drivers 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 drivers 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 Highway Code
for Drivers. Priced at just £2.50, the book includes the
official rules of the road plus an extra section on basic car
maintenance, 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 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
drivers. 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 car on the
road.
Haynes has also published a specialist version for motorcycle
riders, Highway Code for Motorcyclists.
