In short

The official UK rule book covering road signs, signals, and driver responsibilities.

The Highway Code is the official UK Department for Transport publication covering rules for drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians, and horse riders. It is the source for theory-test questions and the basis for many practical-test marking decisions.

It is updated periodically; learners should always use the latest edition before the theory test.
