Road signs and the law
Confused about some road markings? Unsure exactly what that graphic on the sign actually means? Can I drive my overloaded van through there? According to a blog post on Confused.com’s website, you really can’t go using ignorance as an excuse when it comes to traffic laws.
It was interesting to read motor lawyer, Jeanette Miller’s explanations on how misunderstanding road signs can land you in trouble with the law. I must admit, I have scratched my head a time or two in regards to confusing signage on the roads. Good news is, the government has now realised it needs to act and has proposed clearer - and fewer - road signs and markings. However, there is still no excuse for not taking the time to familiarise yourself with them now, especially if you are a new driver. Did you know that if you pick up six penalty points within the first two years of passing the driving test then your licence will be revoked? Yikes! Get studying those road signs carefully. You can view a few examples of confusing signs and what they mean by visiting the Confused.com blog post on their website.
