UK Road Laws

UK road laws aim to ensure safety and order for all road users. Drivers must hold a valid license, drive on the left side, and obey speed limits. Wearing seat belts is mandatory, and using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless hands-free. Pedestrians have priority at crossings, and cyclists must follow the same rules as vehicles. Alcohol and drugs impairing driving are illegal, with strict limits. Insurance and vehicle tax are required. Violations can result in fines, points on your license, or disqualification. These laws promote safe, smooth, and responsible road use for everyone.
