He explained: \u201cNo matter if you\u2019ve been driving for decades or have just passed your test, it always pays to have good knowledge of the rules of the road, as they can regularly be changed or updated to better reflect modern driving conditions and protect everyone that is using the roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile certain rules may seem unnecessary or like they won\u2019t ever be policed, it’s never worth testing that theory, as not only could you be putting yourself and other drivers in danger, but you could also run out of luck and end up with an easily avoided penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

A massive 58 percent admitted they had warned other drivers about a speed trap or camera.<\/p>\n

A staggering 52 percent of motorists revealed they had used a mobile phone while the ignition was turned off and even driven with frosted windows.<\/p>\n
