Do you know the difference between a level crossing sign and one warning of hedgehogs crossing?A staggering 42% of learner drivers fail their theory test*, but how many of Britain’s 23m current licence holders can remember even the most basic road signs?
That’s the question being posed by motoring website, NEW CAR NET (www.newcarnet.co.uk) in its new interactive quiz.
Nowadays motorists are bamboozled by mobile phones ringing, sat-nav systems delivering monosyllabic instructions, radios blaring and speed camera detection units beeping merrily. Given the distractions, it’s hardly surprising that drivers struggle to take notice of the road signs around them**.
So, to see if you know the difference between a minimum or maximum speed limit or recognise a humpbacked bridge over an uneven road, visit www.newcarnet.co.uk and take the simple multiple choice test. Your road sign knowledge will be revealed at the end.
All participants can enter a free prize draw to win a Navman iCN 320 Portable In-Car Navigation System. The quiz will remain active until 26 May 2006.
